Why I like the Big Pond

The Louisiana Top 150 on Toledo Bend February 25, 2001

Day 1: Heavy, thick fog limited visibility to the point that B.A.S.S. National Tournament Director Dewey Kendrick had no other choice but to call it a day.

Day 2: A cold front accompanied by muddy water and 20 mph winds changed fishing conditions from what the pros found earlier this week during practice.

Day 4: "The winds today aren't just hard, they're life-threatening," said Alton Jones. The 2000 BASSMASTER Megabucks winner and nine other finalists must wait until Sunday to decide the Louisiana BASSMASTER Top 150 on Toledo Bend.

Day 5: Rojas, who won with a record-setting catch at Kissimmee, Fla.'s Lake Toho last month, sacked 21 pounds, 2 ounces in the finals to compile 55 pounds, 8 ounces and leap from third to first.

That's a 3.7 pound average under post frontal conditions
