Chris Basey The 2024 Bass Assassins season is over as the final tournament was held at Crawford's Landing. A small crowd of 9 anglers showed up at the launch to do battle on the river. The Angler of the Year spot was already wrapped up, with Eric Ciko walking away with the title. Everyone else was battling to either get a win to make it to the Classic, or get a few extra points to make sure they made it to the Classic through points. The river was rising the morning of the tournament cresting at 7.5 feet at the Pearl River gauge. As I called out the boats, a surprising number of them headed north. As the day pressed on, it was clear it was a tough day, and the weights were going to be low. Of the nine anglers that showed up, no one brought in a limit. Jimmy Dorris brought in four fish that totaled 4.93 pounds. Dorris also brought in the big fish: a largemouth bass weighing 1.85 pounds.
Jimmy Dorris In second was Pearl River legend Steve Hadley who brought in four fish weighing 4.01 pounds.
3rd: Chris Basey 4 fish 3.71 lbs.
4th: Eric Ciko 3 fish 3.43 lbs.
5th: Bill Dorris 3 fish 3.11 lbs.
6th: Justin Birch 1 fish 1.00 lbs.
7th: Danny Giovingo 1 fish .84 lbs.
8th: Roger Mitchell 1 fish .68 lbs.
