Matt and Todd Hagerman won last weekend’s Palestine Lake tourney and captured big bass honors.
Jeff Stankovich and Paul Groves took home top honors in the Four Flags tournament at Austin Lake last weekend.
St. Croix has introduced three spinning rod “minnow shakers” designed specifically for forward facing sonar tactics.
Bass tournament fishing and NASCAR go together like beer and hot wings.
I get that, since both sports grew out of the south.
But NFL and bass fishing?
I didnt see it coming, but that bond was definitely there during the first-ever KVD/Lions Charity Bass Tournament near Detroit last week.
It was born a year ago out of a conversation between Kalamazoos Kevin VanDam, arguably the best pro bass angler on the planet, and Lions head coach Jim Schwartz, who has turned the NFL doormat into a pillar of super bowl hope and promise.
Never doubt Rodney Akey when he says hes gonna catch you a big one.
Just ask his buddy, Will Skalla.
Will likes his bluegill fishing, but I prefer bigger fish, said Akey, a catfish specialist. I told him that bluegills were for women and children, and that if he would come with me Id show him what big fish look like.
So, on May 22, the Niles anglers headed to the St. Joseph River below Berrien Springs dam. About 8 p.m., Akeys line began to move. He let the fish run a bit, set the hook and the battle was on.
