The end of the 2011 Bassmaster Elite Series regular season Sunday on Wheeler Lake meant the bulk of the field for the 2012 Bassmaster Classic has been set, with 29 professional anglers securing qualification for the championship event due to their finishes.
Unfortunately, no Mississippi anglers pros made the cut this year. Petal’s Cliff Pace wrapped up the season in 50th place, while Laurel’s Paul Elias finished in 53rd. Pete Pond closed out the year in 87th. […]
The University of Mississippi’s Ole Miss Fishing Team edged local favorites Auburn University-Montgomery Saturday (May 21) to win the College B.A.S.S. East Super Regional on the Alabama River with a winning weight of 28 pounds, 5 ounces.
AUM staged a strong runner-up effort in the two-day event, coming from sixth place yesterday to post a final weight of 27-8.
Both teams are one step closer to the ultimate win in this collegiate bass fishing league, which is a history-making slot for one angler at the 2012 Bassmaster Classic. […]

As they met backstage this afternoon (April 17), Dean Rojas and Gerald Swindle shook hands, then gave each other a man hug. Both smiled graciously, both teared up a little. […]
Dean Rojas outsmarted the wind Friday to hold the lead for the second day in the Bassmaster Elite Series event being held this weekend on Toledo Bend. […]
He has led for three days running, amassing 57 pounds and 7 ounces of Toledo Bend bass, so there’s no reason Dean Rojas shouldn’t believe he can close the deal Sunday in the Bassmaster Elite Series stop on Toledo Bend.
And believe, he does. […]
Dean Rojas caught 16 pounds of Toledo Bend bass by 10 a.m. Thursday. Then he got serious. He went looking for the big spawning bass and found them. […]

Targeting the backwaters of the St. Johns River system, and finding an 8-3 “mule” on the last day led Edwin Evers of Talala, Okla., to the win Sunday in the Power-Pole Citrus Slam with 77 pounds, 1 ounce, shutting out three-day leader Alton Jones and hard-charging Terry Scroggins.
Trailing Jones by about 2 1/2 pounds before Sunday’s finale, Evers sealed his sixth Bassmaster win by overtaking Jones and besting him by more than 3 pounds. Jones ended in third place with 73-12, leaving second place to Scroggins, who had 74-3. […]
Alton Jones has a plan, and he’s sticking to it. After all, it’s taken the pro from Waco, Texas, into the lead for two days running at the March 17-20 Bassmaster Elite Series stop on the St. Johns River.
Yesterday (March 18), Jones brought in 22 pounds, 13 ounces, more than enough to repeat his Day One lead. His 49-6 total over two days put a distance of 7 pounds, 9 ounces, between him and J. Todd Tucker of Moultrie, Ga., who had 41-13 for second place. In third place with 40-0 was Terry Scroggins of Palatka, Fla., the hometown pro who has a rich history to tap into, and a seemingly infinite number of spots to go to up and down the river. […]
