Palmer Joins Rarefied Air |
|
When Oklahoma pro Luke Palmer raised his first Bassmaster Elite Series trophy last Sunday on the shores of Lake Marion he joined a pretty exclusive club in the process. Palmer was the only angler competing on the final day of the event to weigh in the tournament limit of 20 fish over 4 days of competition. Denny Brauer did the same during his 2011 win on the Arkansas River and Mike Iaconelli also was the only angler competing on championship Sunday to fill his limit all 4 days during his 2014 victory on the Delaware River. Not a bad club to be a part of! |

Designed with a slender body profile so it can slip in and out of cover with ease, the Strike King Rage Scounbug is a highly versatile craw imitation perfect for flipping applications, Texas-rigging, or use as a jig trailer. Made with Strike King's custom high-grade plastic for superior action, the Strike King Rage Scounbug features patented Rage Tail technology to create a huge amount of vibration as the claw arms flap vigorously with the slightest movement of the rod tip. Complete with molded antennae and legs for added realism, the Strike King Rage Scounbug is poured with a thicker base to increase durability over multiple hooksets and allow it to be threaded on a larger hook. Check out the full lineup here.

Pro Wrestling And Pro Fishing Are Similar? |
|
When it was announced that the Bassmaster Classic was returning to Knoxville, TN the professional wrestling fan in me could not have been happier. In case you didn't know the Mayor of Knox County is Glenn Jacobs AKA Kane "The Big Red Machine", brother of The Undertaker and one intimidating figure. Billed at 7ft tall and weighing in at 323lbs, Kane was a staple on WWE programing for almost two decades and inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2021. Jacobs became Mayor of Knox county in 2018, and has been very involved in both Bassmaster Classics in Knoxville. During his media day address at the 2023 Classic Jacobs drew some interesting parallels between professional wrestling and professional fishing. "Pro wrestling and pro fishing are very similar in many ways believe it or not. The general public typically only sees the big show on TV, but never really gets to see the huge sacrifices that come with it. While I was wrestling, some years I would be on the road over 300 days a year, away from my family. I know that professional anglers deal with that on some level as well in order to chase their dream and I can totally relate to that sacrifice." said Jacobs. While Jacobs was unable to make it to the weigh-ins this year due to prior commitments, he did cut a scathing promo on Bassmaster emcee Dave Mercer (A fellow pro wrestling aficionado) via video in full Kane character threatening to deliver a choke slam the next time the two men crossed paths. Could we have a match in the making the next time B.A.S.S. visits Knoxville? |
