Fans of professional bass fishing are used to hearing “VanDam” at the top of Bassmaster Elite Series results, so the winner of this weekend’s stop at Lake Michigan probably wasn’t a big surprise at a casual glance.
Until the first name sank in. Nope, it wasn’t Kevin VanDam; instead, KVD’s nephew Jonathon made his mark yesterday (July 1) by winning the second-to-last regular-season Elite Series stop of 2012 with a four-day total of 79 pounds, 2 ounces. […]
Tripletail are considered a coastal pelagic species, but studies suggest they don’t follow the same migratory pattern as cobia. In fact, no clear migratory trend has emerged from data collected from the Gulf Coast Research Lab’s 11-year tripletail-tagging program.

Texas pro Todd Faircloth remained in the lead of the Wisconsin Bassmaster Elite Series event after three days, but he was a mere 7 ounces ahead of Alabama’s Aaron Martens with one day of fishing remaining.
Faircloth’s three-day total was 47-11, and Martens had accumulated 47-4 during the Mississippi River event.
“I think I’m in contention to win,” Faircloth said. “I’m in the right areas; I’ve seen some big fish.” […]
Texas’ Todd Faircloth jumped into the lead of the Bassmaster Elite Series event being held this weekend on the Mississippi River on the strength of a nearly 18-pound second-day bag of bass that was anchored by a 5-pounder.
“That’s the key here. I had a 5-pounder, today and that makes a big difference when you’re talking about mostly 2- and 3-pounders,” Faircloth said. “When you catch a fish like that in an event like this, it takes all the pressure and load off you.” […]
