1. Please help the Martens family if you can.
GoFundMe set up by fellow pro G Spo (thank you man!) for their medical bills. Believe it or not, most bass fishermen aren’t millionaires. Aaron’s not and his medical bills will be significant so…here’s a GoFundMe to help the Furious Hawg Snatcher if you can. And please keep praying.
Btw, Shaw Grigsby says he’s doing great — please keep praying for him too.
2. Cliff Pirch won a tourney!
Cliff and bud Clay Randall won the Wild West Bass Trail’s Rumble on Roosevelt (I believe) with 20.32 lbs, 4+ lbs better than 2nd. Cliff and Clay had two 6s to seal the deal. Here’s the lowdown from Cliff, who used his 6 as a laser gun at the weigh-in:

Big Bite Baits Pro Lizard (gp) on a Carolina rig caught the two 6-lbers. About 15′, main lake point, bottom covered with flooded trees and rock.

Yikes. We’ve got it pretty tame over here….
“Bait” is a much more generic term and refers to living or dead organisms or edible parts thereof, natural or prepared organic food and chemical attractants.
Bait = edible organic food?? Guess folks in WY look at things differently….
