Casey Ashley said his biggest regret about the tournament was his misjudgment of the Pool-4 area that was fished by Snowden and Fralick. He said it was the first place he set his boat down when official practice started 9 days ago.
"I thought there was a lot of fish there, but not big ones, and the best I could catch there would be 10 pounds," he said. "I was going to catch a limit real fast and get out. It turned out that there were big ones in there."
He said he made one pass through that area with a spinnerbait today, and then left it to the others. He started pitching a jig to woody targets and caught a decent limit in the afternoon. Read More

As noted, Ashley caught fish near Fralick and Snowden today. "Today I saw just how big a mistake I made yesterday," Ashley said. "It was actually the first place I stopped the first day of practice. I thought when I went in there (in practice) that the best I could do was 10 to 12 pounds. After what happened there yesterday (he was frustrated fishing behind people) I went in there to catch me a quick five.
"The first one was a 2-pounder, the next a 5 1/2, the next a 4, the next a 4 1/2. I had 18 or 19 pounds by 10:00. It feels good, especially after a day like yesterday. Going out this morning I knew I needed to catch a big sack to be in contention. It feels good when a plan comes together. It doesn't always happen like that." Read More |

Two Years, Two Classics for Casey Ashley |
|
Norman, OK. – Fresh off a rookie campaign which qualified him for a Bassmaster Classic on his home lake, there was no reason to believe that Casey Ashley’s 2008 campaign would be any less successful. But judging from the fact that eight of his ten fellow second year pros did worse this year than last year, perhaps the concept of a sophomore slump is particularly applicable to bass pros, many of whom have not endured the mental and physical strain of fishing this many high level tournaments back-to-back-to-back earlier in their careers.
