Jordon wasn’t alone in the Guntersville sight-fishing movement Friday. All of the top pros said they locked upriver and used their eyes as their primary weapons.
Second place went to Michael Bennett of Roseville, Calif., who turned on his bass-bed radar yesterday and used those spots today to catch a 15-pound, 3-ounce limit.
“I found those fish yesterday. I was looking for new ones as quickly as I could find them,” he said. “It seems that, if you find one, there’s two more just like it in a similar spot.”
Bennett, who turned 21 years old just last Saturday, fished the Browns Creek Area of Guntersville. He didn’t catch anything in the first hour of fishing, but things came together for him after that. In all, he was able to pluck seven keepers off the bed on what he said were a variety of baits.
“It depends on the mood of the fish,” Bennett said about the lures he used.
