Todd takes AOY Back After 6th Place Finish |
|
6th, Todd Faircloth (13-04 today, 65-01 total): "I didn't do anything different (today). Yesterday, I just got some big bites. Today was kind of like the second day – I only caught one quality fish. I started on this one spot every morning. I was boat 100 out the fist day, and I told myself I'd stop on the first spot that nobody was on and I had coordinates on. It just so happens that spot was it. Every morning I'd catch a fish on my first cast.
"This was just a great time. It's a great fishery. And it's getting better, it seems like. There's a lot of fish. It's very fertile. Keep the grass alive and you'll have a good fishery for many years." Read More |

The Texan has cashed a check in every tournament since Smith Mountain (Va.) last June. Seven of those placements were Top 20s, and he has three Top 10s (including a win at Amistad) in five outings this year.
"We're not even halfway through the season, so it's still too early to start thinking (about winning the AOY)," he said. "But I'm real pleased with how I'm fishing and the way things are going, and I'm tickled to be where I'm at right now.
"I never like to look too far down the road, so I'll just keep taking each tournament one at a time. We have some lakes left that I think kind of fit my style and some that I'm not as familiar with, but I look forward to fishing all of them."
He's a firm believer in the positive effects of momentum.
"Once you get your confidence up, you just make a lot more good decisions. And then you just try to carry that over into the next tournament."

Todd Faircloth, capitalizing on a rocket start this year, has inched ahead of Mike McClelland by 27 points to claim the lead in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings.
Faircloth finished 8th at the Harris Chain, 23rd at Kissimmee, 41st at Falcon, 1st at Amistad and 7th at Clarks Hill.
That record — he's fished three Sundays out of five events — leaves no doubt about his versatility. He can catch bass in the shallow, weedy waters of Florida and in the deep, structure laden waters of his home state of Texas. And, now that the results are in from Clarks Hill, we know he can chase transition bass, too. Full Story |
