Due to unsafe conditions on the water, B.A.S.S. has decided to shorten the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year tournament to two days. If conditions improve, anglers will take to the water tomorrow for the final day of competition. If tomorrow is scratched, then Monday will be the final day of competition.

Powroznik earns ROY title

Rookie of the Year caps “a great ride” this season

Jacob Powroznik

B.A.S.S.
Jacob Powroznik is honored to be named 2014 Toyota Bassmaster Rookie of the Year, particularly in the company of such a tough field of competitors.

 

ESCANABA, Mich. — A stellar field of rookies competed on the Bassmaster Elite Series this season. The 14-angler list included a past Forrest Wood Cup champion in Randall Tharp and a B.A.S.S. and FLW tournament champion in Brett Hite.

That’s why Jacob Powroznik felt particularly proud to win the Elite Series Rookie of the Year title that was announced this week. The 36-year-old Port Haywood, Va., resident not only won an Elite Series event this year (at Toledo Bend), but was fourth in the Angler of the Year Standings entering the AOY Toyota Championship.

Day 2 is cancelled

6:13 am EDT, Sep 19, 2014 | By Chris Mitchell

Due to an updated weather forecast, Tournament Director Trip Weldon has let the 50 Elite anglers competing in this event know that competition is not happening today, due to the threat of severe weather (and winds).

 

We will have more information about what this means for the rest of the tournament soon. Weldon has indicated that instead of having a day off on Saturday, the anglers may be fishing. For now, all eyes are on the wind coming from the south creating dangerous conditions on the water.

Mike McClelland may call Northwest Arkansas home but he’s been to the ocean-like, Smallmouth rich waters of America’s Great Lakes many times before.

So on the eve of Day One at the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year tournament on Lake Michigan’s Bays de Noc he stood in the peaceful parking lot of the quaint cabin he and wife Stacy are staying in this week, listening to the wind whip across Lake Michigan less than 50 yards away, making double dog sure he had all the necessary equipment to take on this unusually rough patch of water in the days ahead.

Hackney thinking in integers- Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship Bays de Noc – Escanaba, MI, Sep 18 – 21, 2014

Hackney thinking in integers

From total weight to wind speed, Day 2 is all about numbers

Greg Hackney

James Overstreet
For Greg Hackney, like the other competitors in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship, Day 2 on Bays de Noc will be all about the numbers.

ESCANABA, Mich. — Greg Hackney had numbers in mind while thinking about what it would take for him to win the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year title this week at Lake Michigan.

Those numbers were 20 and 18, in that order.

“I thought if I caught 20 pounds the first day and backed it up with 18 or 19, I’d be alright,” said Hackney about his game plan for clinching the coveted AOY title.

After Day 1, the number 18 made him breathe a sigh of relief. That was his five-bass total weight Thursday, exactly.

“They actually weighed about two pounds heavier than what I thought I had,” Hackney said. “That helped my feelings a little bit when I weighed in. (Friday) I’ve got to catch 20.”

Todd Faircloth’s number Thursday was 20 pounds, 15 ounces. That allowed him to cut into Hackney’s lead in the AOY race.

Faircloth was in third place, 17 points behind. Now he’s in second place, 10 points back.
