Jake and Stephanie Lisenko

Jake and Stephanie Lisenko (South Bend) caught 15 pounds to win the Casting Couples Classic on White Lake last week.

The Classic teams battled chilly temperatures and 15- to 25-mph winds on the Whitehall, Mich. lake.

The Lisenkos fished weedy point edges with º-ounce Native Pride jigs (bluegill) in 8 to 14 feet of water. They won $650 plus the bonus Big Bass Award ($50 and a $50 Clear H2o gift card) for a 4.43-pound largemouth. They caught three keepers and the big bass in the first 30 minutes before landing their last two keepers later in the day.

Brian and Renee Hensley

Brian and Renee Hensley (Edwardsburg) took home $300 for second place with 11.89 pounds. Brian was using a Shimano rod to bring in the third biggest bass of the day to win a Shimano CAENAN reel spooled with PowerPro. The Hensleys caught their fish on jigs (black/blue) tipped with Chigger Craws in 8 to 12 feet of water. They also used swim jigs tipped with Strike King Rage Craws (green pumpkin/pearl).

John and Maric Dixon

John and Maric Dixon (Elkhart) had 8.17 pounds to finish third ($150). Their bag included the second largest bass of the day, a 3.70 pounder that earned them a $60 Clear H2o gift card. Dixons positioned their boat on outside weed lines in 8 to 15 feet of water and fished jigs (brown and green pumpkin). They also caught some on a Poor Boys Darter (green pumpkin/orange) rigged on a jig head.
