Steve with a couple of good ones:  . Vandy with two fish. The "camo" fish is 3.85 pounds, Big Bass among CAST members, and the smaller fish was officially measured at 14", but was 13 7/8" when I caught it (therefore it didn't count).  Vandy's boater with a couple good ones (smaller fish not shown)  All in all, a good tourney. Steve and I made it back alive, even after going through a 10 mile stretch of I-57 that was pure ice (we saw 6 cars/trucks in the ditch and one car that had hit a tree out near Willard Airport). Next ABA is 3-11 at Egypt. Steve and I learned today that if a CAST member brings a boat, s/he gets paired with another CAST member of his choice (2 of the Murray State guys fished together today). -Vandy |

Nice fish guys! Sweet markings on some of those fish, too. What the heck happened to your fish, Vandy? I told you, we don't use black spray paint on bass for muskies... use orange ;D
Care to share what your patterns were? Just curious. Might help others learn what to do during cold water periods.

Great job, guys! I'll have to get my boat up'n'running so we can fish some ABAs as a group. Can you be more specific about your crankbait bite?

Can you be more specific about your crankbait bite? -Dinty The main tactic was having hair like this:  |

YES that was my main secret! the only way to obtain sweet hair like mine is wear a hat right after you wake up in the morning, and wear the hat fro about 8 hrs. hahahahahah
