Today's Top 4

1. Hackney's secret bait.

Last couple big tourneys there's been different reports of what baits were used. One was Greg Hackney's Pickwick FLW win. Tracked down the Hack Attack – 'stead of the 1, 2 or 3 baits reported, turns out it was 5 including this one with the ??:

What is it? A KVD 8.0 squarebill, not yet on the market but will be after the ICAST trade show next month.

2. KVD eats line??

Check it:

So it's not just the cookies??

3. Lebron #nofisherman.

Couldn't let this slide: To those who say pro anglers ain't athletes, how 'bout the NBA wusses who couldn't play without AC [!!], and one of the greatest ballers/"athletes" of all time cramped up because it was too hot? Bwahahahaha!

News

1. Biffle CAN smile on camera.

Is this news? Yes, this is news:

2. BassUTV: Frog week!

> New this week on Bass U TV are new frog fishing courses from Mike Iaconelli, Ish Monroe, and Pete Gluszek.

Click for a short preview of Ish's class…which I'm sure is awesome (Ish needs his own TV show!).

3. Howeller now available??

Got an email that says the Livingston Howellers are now out and that pre-orders are being processed…4 months after the Classic?? This true or am I reading it wrong?

4. TN: Reelfoot derby this Sat.

5. Lowrance social mapping.

Interesting. At some point every square inch of every lake will be uber-mapped. Then what? Answer: PATTERNING FISH.

6. AL: County doesn't want to pay…

…for another AL Bass Trail derby on the Mobile Delta, but re: this year's derby:

> …the tournament's financial impact on the county was about $118,000 based on a survey the tournament participants completed.

7. NC: High school bass champs.

Chris Chavez, a junior at Clayton High, and Ethan Howard, a sophomore at Wilson Hunt.

8. UT: Flaming Gorge smallie transplant.

9. NY: Best north NY bass waters.

10. MA: Milfoil issue at Attitash.

11. Plano ISO marketing/PR/pro staff herder.

12. Great Lakes finally ice-free!

> The last holdout was Lake Superior, where ice remained near Marquette, Mich., as recently as late last week.

Why is this happening?

13. Problems could include engine overheating, fuel line ruptures, a breakdown of rubber pieces in engines, expensive repairs and engine failure not covered by warranty.

Outboard issues from ethanol 15. Great.

14. Mud Hole new BM HS sponsor.

Doh!

Yep, the BFL All-American was on Wilson, AL (riverine rez), not Murray, SC (lowland rez). Marcus still kicked some tail!

Quote of the Day

I was a three-sport athlete in school.

– The awesome Clay Dyer being dead serious:

> "I played baseball, American football and basketball. I used my right shoulder and right jaw to hold/swing the bat in baseball. I used my right arm and right side of my face to aim and throw and hold the basketball and football."

Why did he say "American football?" Because he was being quoted in one of England's biggest newspapers, the Daily Mail. Cool! And I believe a first in bassin'….
