Greg takes 2nd at Bassmaster Classic!

Greg Vinson

SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CITY – Greg Vinson played the hand the fish dealt him, but his cards didn't fall as well as Chris Lane's.

Vinson perfectly executed his game plan during the 42nd Bassmaster Classic, fishing flawlessly and catching just about everything that took a shot at his baits. He won't lament the ones that got away because there weren't any. He picked a good spot and did everything he could with it. When he got bit, he connected. He just never connected with the big fish he needed Sunday.

Fishing Ahead with Greg Vinson

by Dan O'Sullivan

It’s early spring and the bass should be spawning, but they aren’t quite in the areas you’d expect them to be. You think you know where they live; but, it’s spring, and your gut tells you they should be near the spawn. But, the conditions aren’t quite right, the water’s not quite warm enough, you’re on the tail end of a front, and the full moon is a little more than a week away with a forecasted warming trend coming.

While practicing for your upcoming tournament, you follow you textbook learning, and you backtrack until you find the fish staging in an area outside of the spawning cove. They are good ones, the kind that make you bite your lip when someone asks about your practice for the team tournament you’re fishing next week. You’re absolutely dialed in – you think.
