First-year FLW Tour pro Jimmy Reese is quite familiar with Lake Havasu, which many Bassmaster Elite Series anglers will visit for the first time this week. It's long been a regular stop on the Western Rayovac (previously EverStart and Stren) circuit and the California native has a couple of Top-10 finishes on his ledger from the desert impoundment.
Here are his picks to fare well on the desert impoundment:
1. Aaron Martens
> Reese says: "No more 2nd-place finishes. It's time for him to win."
2. Dean Rojas
> Reese says: “If the water level's up, he's just going to run the river."
3. Brent Ehrler
> Reese says: "If he can find some fish that are spawning, he'll be right there with Aaron."
4. Kevin VanDam
> Reese says: “If the wind's blowing, he could hammer the smallmouth in the grass."
Darkhorse: Tommy Biffle
> Reese says: “If they're biting shallow in the river, it's hard not to include him.”
