This past Sunday the Bass Assassins held their 9th classic at Lock 1. The lock canal was very muddy which is uncharacteristic of it. There were a few areas of cleaner water which were also full of fishermen. With 18 anglers on a muddy lock it fished very small. The water temps were hovering right at 60 degrees. Some areas of the lock the fish were just starting to move up and others there had already been a wave come through. It was the perfect ( tough ) conditions for the top anglers on the Bass Assassins trail. Bill Dorris was able to put together a 9 lbs. 13 oz. limit to claim the title of 2023 Bass Assassins Classic Champion.

Behind Bill we find another well known angler as well as a Lock 1 Hammer Eric Ciko. Eric brought in a 8 lbs. 12 oz. limit to claim second place. In third we find the angler with the coolest name in the field. Troy Bass brought in a 8 lbs. 5 oz. limit to round up the top three. Jimmy Dorris took home the big fish honors with his 3 lbs. 7 oz. kicker.
