Spotlight On Bluebacks

A Veteran BASS Member
I spent the early part of my life in the U.S. Navy (1942-1948) then switched to the U.S. Air Force, retiring in 1967 with 24 years of active duty. I was on the USS Hornet (CV-8), of Doolittle Raid fame, when she was sunk Oct. 26, 1942. I was rescued by the USS Barton (DD599) and was on her when she got sunk 17 days later, Nov. 12, 1942. I later was assigned to the USS Bland, and we made four major amphibious landings in the South Pacific (and I never learned to swim).

Wide open
Even Fred Roumbanis, who goes into Sunday with a 6 pound, 15 ounce lead on 12th place Ish Monroe, said the final of the Carolina Clash presented by Evan Williams is wide open.

Commitment issues
It's the fish that were caught that decided the winner of the Carolina Clash presented by Evan Williams on Lake Murray, but anglers couldn't help but talk about what could have been.
Cop Beats College Kid
No, it's not some headline from a 1960s newspaper story. But Saturday, a cop beat a college kid in the Carolina Clash presented by Evan Williams.
Cream of the crop
Only three of the anglers who started in the top 12 on Saturday caught more than 13 pounds on Day Three — and only half will be fishing Sunday's final.
Trying something new
The leader of the Carolina Clash presented by Evan Williams only had three fish with an hour left on Friday.
