Cliff Pace went into the final day of Bassmaster Classic competition in 15th, and only managed to move up a single spot when all was said and done.
“I kind of had to scramble around while fishing, and I only got bites on one or two groups of fish,” Pace said. “I came here to try and win this event, not to get one bite here and one bite there.”
He said he was forced to leave his primary area on the very first day despite knowing there were sizeable fish in the area.
“Leaving the bass was tough when I was on a group of bass that had the potential to win like those I was on the first day – especially when I was in a big tournament like the Classic, but things weren’t working out my way at that spot,” Pace explained. “Those bass are still on that site where I caught the big bag of bass the first day. However, I just never could get them to set back up and bite.
“But that’s just part of fishing.”
Pace said all of his bass came on a ½-ounce green-pumpkin V&M football head jig.
