Kennedy Leads Bass Fishing Tournament on Oneida Lake

August 7, 2008
B.A.S.S. News - Archived

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - On a day when most Elite Series competitors were plagued by constant rain on Oneida Lake, Steve Kennedy managed to remain mostly dry. The Auburn, Ala., pro weighed in 17 pounds, 14 ounces, Thursday avoiding the weather and grabbing the lead at the Champion's Choice bass fishing tournament, the final Bassmaster Elite Series event of the season.

   Fishing fans can watch the on-the-water action from the Aug. 7-10 Champion's Choice on The Bassmasters, which airs Saturday, Aug. 16, at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN2. Additionally, fans can check into Bassmaster.com for live, streaming video of the weigh-ins, real-time leaderboards, analysis, photo galleries and more throughout the four-day event.

   While Kennedy staked his lead in the chase for the $100,000 top prize, the two anglers battling for the Bassmaster Angler of the Year competition, Kevin VanDam of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Todd Faircloth of Jasper, Texas, took center stage. With this, the 11th event in 2008, the 'Trail to the Trophy' will culminate and the winner will take home $250,000.

   The two, however, failed to capitalize on each other's struggles. Faircloth, the leader by 21 points heading into the event, was 62nd while VanDam, a three-time Angler of the Year, limped to 59th place. The winner could be crowned on any of the final three days and the race appears that it will go down to the wire for the third consecutive season since the Elite Series was created.

   While VanDam and Faircloth will sweat out the top spot, many anglers who are at or below the cutline to qualify for the 2009 Classic, set for Shreveport-Bossier City, La., on Feb. 20-22, needed to perform this week to cement their status in the marquee event. The top 36 will earn qualifying berths and have a shot at the $500,000 top prize.

   Kennedy is safely in the Classic cutline as he was 20th in the AOY standings heading into this week's event. The 2006 Rookie of the Year is searching for his second BASS victory after narrowly missing out by ounces at a 2007 Major event on New York fisheries last year. In the first two days of competition on Oneida, Kennedy was second, only trailing Dean Rojas, who is fifth this week.

   Behind Kennedy was Terry Butcher of Talala, Okla., in second with 16 pounds, 9 ounces; Britt Myers of Lake Wylie, S.C., in third with 16 pounds, 6 ounces; Dean Rojas of Phoenix with 15 pounds, 14 ounces in fourth and four-time Bassmaster Classic champ Rick Clunn of Ava, Mo., was fifth with 15 pounds, 13 ounces.

   "I'm not sure what I have will hold up all week," said Kennedy, a one-time BASS winner. "Today was a struggle early. You can't expect to catch 18 pounds every day so I'll just have to go back at them tomorrow."

   He attributed most of his success to the pattern he was running and felt it was effective throughout the lake. He was focusing on shallow water with a Kinami Flash and another lure he kept close to the vest.

   Despite his banner day, Kennedy said he missed a few quality fish that could have added to his weight. During the three-day practice period, he had no indication he would do well on Oneida but made the necessary slight adjustments Thursday.

   He had most of the areas he fished mainly to himself as other competitors were targeting deeper fish and expects more of the same Friday.

   "Honestly, I'm very concerned about the way the fish were biting," said Kennedy, 39. "I'm just not certain that I can continue to catch them well."

   Butcher, who has had a somewhat disappointing season as he is 70th in the AOY standings, is looking for redemption on Oneida. Like Kennedy and Rojas, Butcher has found success on New York fisheries, finishing in fourth place at an Elite event on Lake Erie out of Buffalo last year.

   A one-time BASS winner, Butcher weighed in both largemouth and smallmouth bass. One of the few competitors to target both species, Butcher played it close to the vest on the tactics he used Thursday.

   "I ran multiple patterns and caught them in a couple different areas," the 37-year-old said. "I had a rough practice so I'm happy to get the bites that I did today."

   Myers, in third, needed a big tournament to propel himself into the Classic cutline. In 37th in the AOY standings heading into the event, he put himself in good position to qualify for his first Bassmaster Classic.

   Perhaps Rojas is Kennedy's biggest threat. In fourth, he is targeting shallow water, much like Kennedy, and has his areas all to himself. If he is to earn $25,000 between his finish from Oneida and his Angler of the Year winnings, a very real possibility, Rojas will push his career BASS earnings over $1 million.

   In the co-angler division and the race for the $25,000 top prize, local Ron Plocek of Liverpool, N.Y, took the Day 1 lead with 10 pounds, 13 ounces. Trailing Plocek were Allan Hall of Brandon, S.D., with 9 pounds, 11 ounces and Tom Frink of Simi Valley, Calif., with 8 pounds, 15 ounces. Frink is searching for his third BASS win in the co-angler division.

   Known as the "thumb" of New York's Finger Lakes, Oneida is 21 miles long and 5 miles wide, with shelves and shoals formed by glaciers. The natural body of water features plenty of shoreline vegetation and an abundance of rocky offshore structure.
