Ronald Pierre This is how things are shaping up after the first five events of the season. Jimmy Dorris had a solid 2nd place finish on the East Pearl River Rumble giving him a commanding lead. Beaux Lasiter had another high finish and jumped over Chris Basey for second place. (Z2) Zack Zimmerman catapulted his self into contention with another solid finish. He is nipping at the heels of 3rd place Chris Basey with only a 10 point deficit that separates them. Fellow RP3 Staffer Jared Norris made the biggest move of all the anglers in event #5. Jared moved up the AOY leaderboard by posting a 5th place finish, that jumped him into 5th place overall in the AOY standings. Richard Bennett took event #5 on the East Pearl River Rumble and is Classic bound. For those of you who were left just outside the bubble, we still have plenty of fishing left to do this season before having to hit the panic button. I expect to see a lot of shift changes towards the latter half of the Bass Assassins season. Later we will be looking towards the West Pearl River Shoot-out, but only before another long break between events. This will give anglers plenty of time to do their research and come up with game plans for the event. It should be another slug fest for event #6.
