Winter has showed up.  There was frost on everything for the launch of the last Bass Assassins tournament of the year.  Despite the cold weather we had 13 anglers fish today to close out the year.  The fishing was great as was evident at the weigh in.  There was 52 bass brought to the scales for a total of 93 lbs.  The biggest bag was brought in by Jason pittman.  Jason brought in a nice limit going 12 lbs. 7 oz.  Chasing after him was Jimmy Dorris in second with a limit weighing in at 11 lbs. 9 oz.  Jimmy did bring in the big bass of the day which went 4 lbs. 14 oz.  Morgan Schutte took home third with a limit that weighed 10 lbs. 10 oz.  Payton Waller walked home with the little tanglers win.  Payton brought in his limit weighing 5 lbs. 6 oz.  This makes Payton's fourth win of the year.

This is the last tournament for the year.  I would like to thank everyone who fished.  I would also like to thank Keith of northshorefishingreport.com and Ronald of RP3 custom fishing lures for their help through the year.  Keep a look out for the points standings, and the qualifiers for the classic.  If you have make the classic then please take a min. to email bassassassinsla@gmail.com your contact info.  I know I have a lot of you guys info but I still need to get the rest.  Please put your name and number in the email.  Thank you again for joining us this year for the Bass Assassins 2014 season. 

Jimmy Dorris not only locked up the AOY race during the previous Bass Assassins tournament but decided to add a cherry on top with 3 wins in a row during the Bayou Lacombe Showdown. Jimmy Dorris had a season for the record books for the 2014 Assassins series. His lowest best 9 finish came in at 5th place with 4 wins for the season. He simply outpaced, out practiced, out strategized, and outfished more than 50 different anglers through out the 2014 Bass Assassins season to claim one of the Bass Assassins most prestigious awards. He fought rain, extreme cold weather, fog, lightning, rough weather, and some of the Northshores finest sticks to take his seat at the top of the leaderboard. He will be awarded a customized AOY plaque, and more than $100 worth of tackle from RP3 Custom Fishing Lures.
Now that the AOY top prize is locked up anglers will turn their focus at making the Bass Assassins Classic. With only 1 regular season event left and a wild card at the end of the year, anglers around 20th place will start feeling the pressure. They will only have 2 events left to jump into Classic contention and will have to battle it out on the water to make the cut for February's tournament. 

The last tournament of the year will be November 2nd at Crawfords Landing.  If you have any questions you can call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857 or email bassassassins@gmail.com
