Outcast Bass Angler Joe Innella

After bringing in 5 bass to the scales for a weight of 12 lbs. 9 oz. I found myself sitting in 2nd place after Day 1. I was fishing the 2014 Outcast Bass Anglers Classic, held at Lake Champlain, N.Y. Unfortunately on Day 2 of the tournament I was only able to catch 2 bass for a weight of 4 lbs. 10 oz. This gave me a total of 17 lbs. 3 oz. for the tournament. My catch dropped me down to 4th place where I finished one spot out of the money. My partner for the tournament, Bill Steinmann, was able to make a charge on the final day and found himself going from 5th to 3rd. Bill was responsible for me catching 2 of my bigger fish on Day 1. The two four pounders that I caught were fooled by Bills own creation known as the "Chunk". I rounded out my limit using the Flick Shake technique. I was fishing a 1/8th oz. Owner Ultra Head Wacky Style. I riged the jig head with both Yamamotto 4" Senkos and Venom 4" Salty Slings. The winner of the event was Club Rookie Kevin Kohler.
