Florida teen Yavorsky takes Team Championship Fish-Off lead at Harris Chain of Lakes

TeamChamp_BPS_4C.png

LEESBURG, Fla. — Aaron Yavorsky only needs one more day of solid fishing to write his name in the B.A.S.S. record books. 

Yavorksy, a 17-year-old high school senior from Palm Harbor, Fla, caught five bass weighing a whopping 30 pounds, 7 ounces Friday on Day 1 of the 2023 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship Classic Fish-Off. It was a phenomenal haul that gave him nearly a 16-pound lead on the closest of the five other anglers in the field.

The huge catch also gave Yavorsky a decided edge on the dream of a lifetime — a berth in the 2024 Bassmaster Classic. The winner here on Saturday will clinch the final entry into the sport’s biggest derby, which will be held March 22-24 on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees. 

If Yavorsky’s tremendous lead does hold, he would be the youngest person ever to compete in a Bassmaster Classic. David Brind, of New York, currently has that distinction, after fishing the 1979 Classic on Lake Texoma when he was only 18.  

Yavorsky is aware history could be in the making. 

“There were a lot of nerves today,” he said. “Obviously just making it to today, there are a lot of things running through your head … I might be restless tonight, but I’ll try to get some sleep. I just need to get back out there tomorrow. I’m confident because I’ve got a decent lead.” 

Friday’s bag was not an outlier, though, as Yavorsky has been whacking the largemouth bass all week on the Harris Chain of Lakes, only 90 minutes from his family home on Florida’s Gulf Coast.  

He and his dad, Rodney Yavorsky, won the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship on Thursday when they caught a whopping 31-6 limit and eased to a victory of nearly 14 pounds. Aaron carried the load when he teamed with dad, too, catching a 9-3 lunker midday on Thursday to push the Yavorskys past the hallowed 30-pound mark.  

Aaron, who’s a member of the Florida BASS Nation Team Trail, was no less impressive fishing by himself on Friday. He said he’s fishing in Lake Carlton, about a 30-minute run from Venetian Gardens, where this week’s takeoffs and weigh-ins are taking place.  

The special spot of the week, he said, is a shellbar in about 10 feet of water. He’s exclusively throwing crankbaits over an area that is about 200 to 300 yards long.  

“I’m just going up and down that spot,” he said. “There’s a lot of bait out there right now. The colder weather moved them out on it. I think they’re getting ready to spawn. They’re just feeding up on shad right now. They’re really scattered. It’s just a matter of getting the big ones to bite.” 

Friday’s big bass weighed 8-15. He caught the lunker early in the day and had a limit within an hour.

From that point, it was a matter of patience, with upgrades coming throughout the day. 

The Top 3 duos in the Team Championship had their weights zeroed Thursday and the six anglers started competing individually Friday. 

That allowed Rodney Yavorsky the chance to see his son put on another display Friday, choosing to watch from a distance rather than fishing himself. He did catch one bass for 1-4, enough to earn a walk across the B.A.S.S. stage. 

He was reserving the spotlight, he said, for his son. 

“I’m here for him,” Rodney said. “He deserves this. He works hard, spends a lot of time on the water. It pays off.” 

Connor Nimrod, a West Monroe, La., resident who fishes the Media Bass trail, is in second place in the Fish-Off with a limit that weighed 14-10. He said he’s making the long run to Lake Apopka, throwing bladed jigs to patches of scattered eelgrass.  

Nimrod, 24, knows overcoming a deficit of nearly 16 pounds won’t be easy. But, he said, Florida might be the perfect spot to do it. 

“The big ones live here,” he said. “We’ve been around them all week. It would be an impressive thing if I can come back, and I’m gonna try. But Aaron has been putting on a show this week … Whatever happens, I’ve already had a great week here, too.” 

Other remaining anglers are Blain Bartley of Pennsylvania’s Media Bass Buddy Circuit, who caught a limit Friday and is in third place with 6-10. Thomas Soileau, also of West Monroe and Media Bass, caught three bass weighing 4-13. Rj Graham, who teamed with Bartley to finish second in the Team Championship, is fifth with three bass totaling 4-10. The elder Yavorsky is sixth with his 1-4 catch.  

The second and final day of the Fish-Off will begin at 7 a.m. ET at Venetian Gardens. Weigh-in is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Follow the weigh-in online at Bassmaster.com. 

The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship is being hosted by Visit Lake, the City of Leesburg and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission.

Should You Become a Professional Bass Fisherman?

Title: The Decision to Pursue Prepositional Bass Fishing: A Comprehensive Look

In the realm of professional bass fishing, the prospect of becoming a prepositional bass fisherman is a decision that demands deep consideration. This niche within the larger fishing industry offers a unique set of opportunities as well as challenges.

Pros of Pursuing Prepositional Bass Fishing

  1. Flexibility in Locations: Prepositional bass fishermen have the freedom to explore and fish in a variety of locations, adapting their strategies to the nuances of different water bodies and environmental conditions.
  2. Diverse Skill Set: Embracing the role of a prepositional bass fisherman facilitates the development of a comprehensive skill set. Anglers are required to combine traditional bass fishing expertise with the specific tactics and techniques essential for targeting bass based on their positioning.
  3. Adaptability: The nature of prepositional bass fishing emphasizes adaptability. It challenges anglers to be responsive to the ever-changing dynamics of fishing grounds, cultivating a capacity for quick adjustments and on-the-spot decision-making.
  4. Strategic Approach: Engaging in prepositional bass fishing demands a heightened strategic approach. Anglers are compelled to think critically, analyze fish behavior, and problem-solve based on the specific positioning of bass in different habitats.
  5. Niche Specialization: Becoming a prepositional bass fisherman can carve out a niche within the competitive fishing industry. This specialization can offer anglers a unique identity and distinguish them within a crowded field.

Cons to Consider

  1. Steeper Learning Curve: The intricacies of prepositional bass fishing necessitate a significant investment of time in learning and mastering specialized tactics. The learning curve for this approach is notably steeper compared to traditional bass fishing methods.
  2. Unpredictable Conditions: Success in prepositional bass fishing is contingent on the specific positioning of bass, leading to a level of unpredictability not commonly found in traditional bass fishing.
  3. Limited Competitions: Prepositional bass fishing competitions may be less prevalent, potentially constraining an angler’s opportunities to showcase their skills and compete on a larger stage.
  4. Niche Market Challenges: The specialized nature of prepositional bass fishing may present challenges in securing sponsorships and financial opportunities, limiting an angler’s earning potential compared to those in more mainstream bass fishing.
  5. Equipment and Technique Adaptation: Pursuing prepositional bass fishing mandates a dedicated investment in specific equipment and an adeptness in adjusting fishing techniques to effectively target bass based on their positioning.

When considering the decision to become a prepositional bass fisherman, it is essential to delve deeply into both the advantages and drawbacks of this career path. Potential anglers are encouraged to carefully assess their motivations, goals, and aptitudes before committing to the pursuit of this specialized form of professional fishing.

Becoming a prepositional bass fisherman demands not only a passion for the sport but also a readiness to embrace the challenges and uncertainties that come with this unique career path. As the fishing industry continues to evolve, individuals must weigh the potential for specialization and niche recognition against the realities of a competitive and unpredictable professional landscape.

Matt Greschak and Ricky Hodges Win CATT Tidewater Fall Final Perquimans River, NC Dec 3, 2023

The CATT Tidewater Division’s fall final went off this morning on the Perquimans River. It’s hard to believe I’m going to type this, but it was 65 degrees with calm winds at blast off. Yes 65 degrees on December 2nd at 7am!! Even with the warm temps and slick calm conditions most of the top finishing teams chose to stay in the Perquimans River with a heavy fog bank reported on the Albemarle sound.

Leading the way in that category was the team of Matt Greschak and Ricky Hodges who brought in a 16.54lb limit to secure the victory and take home $1800 in winnings! Matt and Ricky had strung together a very consistent third place finish in all three previous tournaments but got it done today with the win!!

The second-place team of Joe Glazebrook and Jeremy Gatewood captured and held hostage a 5 fish limit weighing 15.45 lbs just long enough to secure a second-place finish worth $800. There bag was anchored by the second biggest fish of the day weighing 5.10 lbs

Huge bag lifts Yavorsky duo to victory at Bassmaster Team Championship; Fish-Off begins Friday

Huge bag lifts Yavorsky duo to victory at Bassmaster Team Championship; Fish-Off begins Friday

TeamChamp_BPS_4C.png

LEESBURG, Fla. — The father-son duo of Rodney and Aaron Yavorsky were among the final teams to weigh in Thursday on the final day of the 2023 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship.

In this case, the best was saved almost for last.

The Yavorskys, Tampa-area residents representing the Florida BASS Nation Team Trail, caught a mammoth limit of five bass weighing 31 pounds, 6 ounces and stormed to the title here on the Harris Chain of Lakes in central Florida. Their two-day total of 10 bass weighing 51-9 was nearly 14 pounds heavier than the second-place tandem of Blain Bartley and Rj Graham, who caught 10 bass for 37-11 over two days.

The Yavorskys’ 31-6 bag was by far the heaviest of the tournament, easily besting the 24-11 limit caught by Day 1 leaders Chris Whitson and Kevin King of Tennessee’s Morristown Marine Team Trail. The catch was so hefty they would have placed eighth overall even if their Day 1 weight of 20-3 was eliminated.

“We’ve fished a lot of tournaments together and never had a 30-pound bag,” said Rodney Yavorsky, Aaron’s dad. “It was a special day.”

So was Day 1, for that matter, when father and son put themselves in fourth place overall. They started that day slowly, however, before moving from shallow water to offshore. They started offshore on Day 2, and the extra few hours of catching was just what they needed, pushing their total over the hallowed 30-pound mark.

“Today, we did from the start what we should have done on Day 1,” Rodney said. 

“The little cold front that moved in overnight helped us, too,” Aaron said. “There was more bait in the area for us to focus on. We caught them deep, mainly on hard spots, with moving baits — crankbaits, some shaky heads. Color doesn’t seem to matter in this area. We just had to match the water clarity.”

Aaron, a 17-year-old high school senior, did the heavy lifting on Thursday, catching a whopper largemouth that weighed 9-3. He hooked the lunker around noon and it immediately brought new energy to the boat. 

“We knew at that point that we had a chance to win,” Rodney said. “We had been sitting at 27 (pounds) and felt like if we got to 30, we could do it.”

That 9-3 bite clinched the Big Bass Award of $500, which pairs nicely with the $25,000 the Yavorskys earned with the title. Their winnings are part of a $125,000 cash purse that was distributed to the Top 50 teams in the derby. A total of 248 teams representing 77 different trails came from 30 states and three foreign countries to compete in the Team Championship.

Now that group has been trimmed to the Top 3 teams (six anglers in all), their weights have been zeroed, and they’ll compete individually on Friday and Saturday in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship Classic Fish-Off. The angler with the heaviest two-day total in that portion of the tournament will earn the final berth in the 2024 Bassmaster Classic which will be held March 22-24 in Tulsa, Okla., on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.

The opportunity isn’t lost on the teenaged Yavorsky, who said he and his dad will decide Thursday night who will fish which spots in the Fish-Off. They already located good spots in lakes Harris, Eustis and Beauclair, so they’ll have options.

“This is unimaginable, really,” Aaron said. “You catch fish like we did today, and you have a crazy train of thoughts running through your head.”

Rodney, who owns a painting business in nearby Pinellas County, was thrilled with the Team Championship win, but said his goal is to see Aaron fishing in Oklahoma come March.

“I’m here for him,” Rodney said. “He’s 17. I want him to fish in the Classic. I don’t know how we’ll do this, who will fish where. But we’ll figure it out.”

Bartley and Graham, of Pennsylvania’s Keystone Bass Buddy Circuit, caught 21-3 on Day 1 and followed with 16-8 on Day 2, giving them 37-11. They split $17,000 for the second-place finish and will now focus on making the Classic.

“We’ll both start on our best spot and see what happens,” Bartley said. “It’s a dream come true just to have the opportunity.”

Connor Nimrod and Thomas Soileau, who fish for Media Bass in north Louisiana, finished third with a two-day total of 34-14. Their 21-14 bag was the second heaviest caught Thursday, and it helped them to a $12,000 prize.

“The difference today was strictly weather,” Nimrod said. “We rolled up on our stuff yesterday and it was super blown out, with 2- to 3-foot waves rolling in. Today we were able to throw bladed jigs in grass, anything out off the bank.”

Two more productive days by any of the six remaining anglers could lead to more glory.

“Everybody comes here with the goal of qualifying for the Classic,” Soileau said. “We’ve given ourselves that chance.”

Day 1 of the Fish-Off will start Friday at 7 a.m. ET at Venetian Gardens. Weigh-in is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. See the weigh-in online at Bassmaster.com.

Whitson and King surpass their expectations to take lead at Bassmaster Team Championship

TeamChamp_BPS_4C.png

LEESBURG, Fla. — Chris Whitson and Kevin King said they’d have been happy to weigh 12 pounds on Wednesday to start the 2023 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship.

Instead, they more than doubled that and jumped to an early lead here on the Harris Chain of Lakes in central Florida.

Whitson and King, Tennessee residents who fish on the Morristown Marine Team Trail, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 24 pounds, 11 ounces on Day 1 of the two-day derby. That was enough to give them the lead in the final tournament of the 2023 Bassmaster season, which boasts 248 competing teams representing 77 different trails from 30 states and three foreign countries.

Whitson and King were tight-lipped about specifics of Wednesday’s haul, though they said they were surprised to see heavy bass in the area they fished.

“We caught a couple there in practice, but not nearly that size,” Whitson said. “We only had about three spots we planned to fish today, but we hit the right one. We’re not sure why they are where they are. There’s no bait keying us in on anything.”

“We really did kind of stumble on it,” King added.

What a fortunate find it was.

“We caught one within 15 minutes or so on the first spot and then we got three in a row real quick,” Whitson said. “The other two came a couple hours later, in the middle of the day. We left there about 1 o’clock and we’ll head back there tomorrow … I don’t know if they’ll repeat themselves, but I figure we’ll beat around there and catch a few more.”

Blain Bartley and RJ Graham, of Pennsylvania’s Keystone Bass Buddy Circuit, are in second place with 21-3. They had to rally after a shaky start.

“We were spun out, big-time,” Graham said. “The first thing we tried didn’t work at all. We didn’t catch a fish until 11 o’clock. We were fishing shallow and they just weren’t biting at all. So, we moved to some grass offshore. We got a couple quick bites, so we just hunkered down and picked away at ’em.”

Bartley said Wednesday’s wind, blowing consistently at 12 mph and gusting higher, made for a bumpy day. But with the shallow bite a no-go, they had no choice but to try their luck in open water.

“We weren’t sure if it was going to muddy things up for us,” he said. “But we found some clean water and got a few of the right bites.”

Wednesday’s temperatures climbed into the mid-60s, but windy conditions made it feel colder. Thursday’s forecast calls for slightly colder temperatures, though the wind is expected to settle. Most anglers said they weren’t exactly sure what, if any, impact that would have on the Florida bass bite.

“It’ll be a coin toss what we do tomorrow,” Bartley said. “It’s hard to say what’s going to happen.”

Graham agreed.

“It’s unsure, for sure,” he said.

Teams are competing Wednesday and Thursday for part of a $125,000 cash purse. The winning duo will split $25,000 and each of the Top 50 teams will earn cash, as will the boat that produces the heaviest bass over the two-day tournament. Frank Bradfield and Tyler Morgan caught an 8-11 largemouth on Wednesday to take the early lead for the $500 Big Bass Award. The catch helped the Alabama Bass Trail duo into third place with 20-7.

Rodney and Aaron Yavorsky, of the Florida BASS Nation Team Trail, are in fourth place with 20-3. Indiana duo Bud Smart and Dave Coffing, of the US Anglers Choice/AC Tournament Trail, are fifth with 20-2.

After the team champion is crowned Thursday, the Top 3 teams (six anglers) will have their weights zeroed and compete individually in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship Classic Fish-Off on Friday and Saturday. The winner of that event will earn the final berth in the Bassmaster Classic which will be held March 22-24 in Tulsa, Okla., on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.

Day 2 of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship will start Thursday at 7 a.m. ET at Venetian Gardens. Weigh-in is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Follow the weigh-in online at Bassmaster.com.

The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship is being hosted by Visit Lake, the City of Leesburg and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission.

Navigating the New Waters to be a Professional BASS Angler

The crazy world of tournament bass fishing has been rocked by the likes of Jacob Foutz, leaving us all pondering a simple yet crucial question: Do you have what it takes to be a professional angler in 2024? The landscape of the fishing industry has evolved beyond the realms of traditional bass fishing, becoming a complex business that demands more than just exceptional angling skills. With the rise of social media and the dominance of YouTube anglers snagging more sponsorships than the pros themselves, the sport has transformed into a new era where being an influencer is just as vital as being a skilled angler. As we dive into the depths of this dynamic field, let’s explore what it means to be a professional angler and what it entails in the fast-approaching year of 2024.

The Changing Tide

Gone are the days when professional anglers solely relied on their fishing skills to reel in sponsorships and secure their livelihood. In today’s fast-paced digital age, anglers must navigate uncharted currents and carve out a unique online presence. Social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram & TikTok have transformed ordinary anglers into influential figures, commanding attention and garnering revenues through sponsorships and advertising. This shift has disrupted the traditional sponsorship model, leaving professional anglers to fend for themselves in an increasingly competitive environment.

Fishing for Influencers

In the current fishing landscape, aspiring anglers must not only master the art of casting and reeling but also cultivate a captivating online persona. Brands are turning their attention to influential online figures who can promote their products to a wider audience. This shift has allowed YouTube anglers in some cases to receive more sponsorship support than professional anglers who have dedicated their lives to the sport. As the advertising dollars dwindle and conglomerates purchase smaller fishing companies, the opportunities for traditional sponsorships are shrinking. This reality means that anglers aspiring to go pro must recognize the significance of growing their online presence and becoming influential figures in their own right.

The Storm on the Horizon

With the industry’s increasing emphasis on influencer status, some anglers may find themselves at a crossroads. The shift from being solely an angler to being a content creator and influencer may not align with their passion for the sport. When the pursuit of fishing becomes overshadowed by the demands of creating online content, some anglers may choose to step away. This decision to part ways with the sport is not to be taken lightly, as it may arise from a loss of fulfillment or a desire for a more traditional angling experience.

Adapting to the Waves

As we navigate the uncharted waters of professional bass fishing in 2024, it’s clear that being an exceptional angler alone is no longer sufficient. To secure a place among the elite, aspiring anglers must evolve with the industry. This means embracing technology, honing their social media skills, and creating a personal brand that resonates with fans and sponsors alike. By embracing this new chapter in the sport’s evolution, anglers can ride the crest of the wave and make the most of the opportunities that arise.

Casting into the Future

As the fishing industry continues to morph, professional bass fishing in 2024 demands a blend of angling prowess and online influence. It’s a world where landing that perfect catch is only half the battle; creating captivating content and cultivating a strong online presence are equally important. Balancing these elements will prove the key to success in the coming years.

So, as the sun sets on today’s discussion, we encourage all aspiring anglers to assess their capabilities and consider whether they possess the drive, adaptability, and passion required to be a professional angler in the ever-evolving landscape of 2024. Will you take the bait and embrace the challenge, or will you find solace in the simpler pursuit of casting a line into nature’s embrace? The choice is yours, angler.
