Unraveling the mystery

June 28th marks the seventh stop on the 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series trail and the first time in modern professional angling that a “mystery lake” is the playing field.

Mystery Lake — where is it?

The Bassmaster Elite Series Mystery Lake location for the June 28-July 1 tournament has been a mystery to pros and fans alike since the surprise was announced last summer. On Thursday, May 24, at 1 p.m. CT, B.A.S.S. will announce the location on Bassmaster.com.

Bassin’ with an NFL flavor

While taking a short break between Elite tournaments, my wife Sherry and I have been busy working on the Detroit Lions/Kevin VanDam Charity Bass Tournament coming up in June.

My first Top 10 in the Elites

When I first saw the 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series schedule last fall, I was shocked to see that we were going to Douglas Lake. I was really excited that I would be able to compete on a lake that I have fished for over 10 years.

How-To

Flipping & pitching the postspawn

Thanks to an early spring the spawn is over in much of our country. However, there’s still plenty of action for flippers and pitchers, and the time to start doing it is now.

My mid-season report card

Since we're at the halfway point in the season, I figured I'd break down my year so far and give you some insight to what's gone right and what's gone wrong.

A trailer hitch for my Cadillac

For Jeremy Starks, the $100,000 prize for winning on Douglas Lake was incentive enough to go ahead and buy that sleek Cadillac coupe he'd been dreaming about. Now he just has to figure out how to tow his boat with it.
