BassCommunications |
First and foremost I would like to thank all of my fans, family, and friends for their support during the 2008 Bassmaster Elite season. I appreciate all of you! I'm still surprised and humbled when I pull into a gas station or tackle store and people actually want my autograph and their picture taken with me. My hats off to all of you for following the sport of Bass Fishing. Without our fans, Professional Bass Fishing would not exist. I enjoy talking with all of you and answering any questions you may have. |

Derek Remitz - "I'm just kind of plugging away doing what I usually do. My practice is going okay, but overall it's a little slow. I never really know what I'm on until the first day of the tournament is over. It's about what I expected, though. You have to fish slow and grind it out, and I'm comfortable with that. Don't believe what all these guys are saying, though. It's better than they let on." |

 Last week, Derek Remitz told us weights would be down this year at Amistad. "The big bite just isn't here. I don't really know why but I'm beginning to wonder if it's not past its prime," he said after two days of tough practice.
That turned out not to be true. The top three winners bagged 15 bass apiece that averaged just over 5 pounds per fish. If Day 1 hadn't been cancelled, the total weights probably would have hit the 100-pound mark. And, let's not forget Greg Hackney's 11-pound, 11-ounce monster on Saturday. That's a big bass anywhere, anytime.

8th: Remitz Stayed 'In Between' Day 1 Falcon |
Derek Remitz spent most of his time fishing "somewhere in between" on day 1.
"I'm not up on the bank flipping that brush, but I'm not out in the middle of nowhere, either," he said. "I'm fishing brush that's about 12- to 15-feet deep. I looked for that deep bite that a lot of other guys are on, but I just never found it."
He said he fished "pretty close" to Mark Davis today and he's confident there's still plenty of fish left in his area.
"The spot I'm fishing is a big flat with a lot of little fingers and points. I caught 6 or 8 off each little spot and never went back. I'm sure there's more fish there. I've got a good feeling I'll catch them again tomorrow.
"What I can't get over is that I culled 25 pounds today," he added. "That's ridiculous. Aaron (Martens) said he culled like 32 or 33 pounds today. This place is pretty amazing. It's definitely the best fishing I've ever experienced in my life." Read More |
