Steady Combs Leads With 33-07 At Halfway Point

By BassFan Staff

With Sam Rayburn Reservoir fishing as rough as it has it in months – years, even – the importance of staying consistent can’t be emphasized enough when fishing a 4-day tournament. To do that, though, you need to know the lake well and know where bass tend to hang out during tough post-frontal periods.

Few know it better these days than Keith Combs, who guides some on the lake when he’s not fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series and various FLW events. He proved it for a second straight day with a nearly identical stringer to what he caught on day 1.

His 16-11 effort today pushed him to the lead at the halfway point of the final FLW Tour Open of the season with a 33-07 total.

For the second straight day, kicker fish played a big part in who occupied spots in the Top 10 and who didn’t. Todd Castledine used a 7-02 to anchor his 19-12 stringer and move up 22 places to 2nd with 31-06, just 2-01 behind Combs.

Phil Marks held onto 3rd, thanks to a 14-02 bag that gave him 31-03. Day-1 leader J.T. Kenney struggled today, but caught 11-07 and stands 4th with 30-13. Matt Herren caught 15-11 and has 30-08 in 5th.

Lurking in 7th is Jacob Wheeler, the 22-year-old reigning Forrest Wood Cup champion who caught the tournament's best stringer so far – a 19-15 bag that more than doubled his day-1 effort.

With about 5 1/2 pounds separating the Top 10 pros, it’s starting to feel like the weekend could turn into a big-bass shootout – whoever catches a giant or two just may overtake those who’re catching similar stringers each day.

Here's a look at the Top 10 after the 2 days of competition, with deficit margin from Combs indicated by red numbers in parentheses:

1. Keith Combs: 33-07
2. Todd Castledine: 31-06 (2-01)
3. Phil Marks: 31-03 (2-04)
4. J.T. Kenney: 30-13 (2-10)
5. Matt Herren: 30-08 (2-15)
6. Mike Surman: 29-15 (3-08)
7. Jacob Wheeler: 29-12 (3-11)
8. Jason Wells: 29-02 (4-05)
9. John Cox: 28-04 (5-03)
10 (tie). Darrell Davis: 27-14 (5-09)
10 (tie). Landan Ware: 27-14 (5-09)

There was no shortage of meteoric rises and precipitous tumbles on the leaderboard today, a product of the unpredictable nature of Rayburn right now. Among the top climbers were Roy Hanselman (62nd to 17th), Tim Reneau (57th to 16th), Jim Tutt (56th to 20th), Wheeler (42nd to 7th) and Chris Baumgardner (47th to 18th). Among those who dropped out of the Top 20 were Dion Hibdon (8th to 68th), Michael Williamson (17th to 58th), Bill McDonald (5th to 25th) and Art Ferguson III (7th to 27th).

Two-time Bassmaster Classic champ and 2005 Forrest Wood Cup winner George Cochran missed the weekend cut in the final tour-level event of his 32-year career. He finished 35th and cashed a check for the third time in his last four events.

The Top 5 anglers in Open points entering the week – Larry Nixon, McDonald, Dave Lefebre, John Cox and Bryan Thrift – will remain the same as all five pros will finish among the Top 28, meaning they’ve secured berths in next year’s Forrest Wood Cup.

The wind died down today and that had some pros unsettled and others rejoicing. Tomorrow should be clear and warm with a good south breeze gusting to 15 mph. Some rain and thunderstorms are expected overnight Saturday and the clouds and rain are supposed to stick around through Sunday, when the winner will be determined by highest cumulative weight.

Combs Stayed Deep

> Day 2: 5, 16-11 (10, 33-07)

Confidence-wise, Combs wasn’t feeling great after day 1. He felt he should’ve stayed with what was working rather than try to duplicate a magical day he had in practice. He’s feeling much better now after tripling the number of keepers he caught and taking over the lead with 2 days to go.

“I didn’t think it was going to be a tournament of consistency,” he said. “I had a feeling yesterday that it was going to be somebody who’s just skating around and catches a giant bag. It’s working so far.

“I think it’s going to be a big-bass tournament from here on out. There are a handful of guys – mostly the guys from Texas – that are doing the right thing to win and it’s going to be whoever catches the big ones. One big one can change your day. Two of them can change everything. If someone catches two 6-pounders, they’re going to be leading tomorrow.”

Today, he didn’t spend too much time shallow, but he started and ended his day there as he’s still willing to devote time to the areas that produced some big bites in practice.

“It hasn’t panned out yet, but I’m still trying,” he said. “This is about what I thought I could catch every day off the structure spots. Some of it’s brush, some of it’s just drops. My practice told me I could catch 16 or 17 a day. If I could ever get that shallow thing going, man, that’d be big.”

Several of his best fish came as deep as 24 feet, which is considered real deep for Rayburn

“The only thing that excites me going into tomorrow is several of the places I didn’t get any bites on yesterday that had a lot of fish on them in practice, I got bit there today. I think they’re either starting to bite again or they’re coming back into those spots.”

2nd: Late-Day Change Crucial For Castledine

> Day 2: 5, 19-12 (10, 31-06)

A switch at the end of the day paid off for Castledine, who’s now thinking he’s going to focus the rest of the tournament in deeper water.

“I’d been fishing these little 2- and 3-foot ridges and ledges and sometimes they’re 5 to 8 feet and others are 8 to 15 feet,” he said. “I was on them pretty good, but they just wouldn’t bite.”

He was still without a limit by 2 p.m. so he moved out to some offshore structure spots and turned his fortunes around quickly with a 3-pounder and the 7-pounder off one spot before finishing his day with a 3 1/2-pounder.

“I think I’m going to switch up everything I’m doing from here on out,” he added. “The fishing out here’s been so hit and miss. I was on more consistent-type fish, but when I’d catch one that’s good, I couldn’t catch a limit out of those areas because that rain (last week) has it all messed up.”

He’s hoping for clear skies and calm winds tomorrow as he attempts to make his first 10-cut in his first Tour event.

“It’s pretty awesome,” he said. “I actually don’t do as well at Rayburn as I do at other lakes. I’m just trying to make the cut and fish for 4 days. Whatever happens at the end of 4 days I’ll be happy with, but I still have 1 more day to go. I’m extremely thrilled.”

3rd: Different Day For Marks

> Day 2: 5, 14-02 (10, 31-03)

Marks had to resort to a backup plan today, but it produced enough to keep him in the Top 3 and earned him at least another day on the water in his first Tour event.

The deep fish that carried him to 17 pounds on day 1 didn’t fire this morning as the bait they were keying on had fled the area. By 10 o’clock he had only a 14-incher in his livewell. He made a 30-mile run up the lake to some areas he felt he could catch decent 2- and 3-pound keepers.

“I caught most of my weight in the first hour up there,” he said. “I just stayed up there and tried to really see where they’re at in case I needed them again. I was able to spread out so I feel good about that. I don’t think I can win the tournament up there. I’m going to have to get some of those big bites early like I did yesterday.”

He has considerable experience at Rayburn, having lived in the area for several years back in the 1990s. He finished 4th in the Texas EverStart there back in April. Competing in his first Tour event hasn’t been all that intimidating for Marks, who works in product development and sales for Strike King Lure Company.

"I’ve been around the Kevin VanDams and Denny Brauers and George Cochrans and have known those guys for years and years,” he said, “So I’m not as in awe as a normal guy would be, but it’s like a who’s who – seeing guys that I watched when I was a little kid like Larry Nixon and those folks.”

4th: Kenney’s Deep Spots Were Vacant Early

> Day 2: 5, 11-07 (10, 30-13)

The first two deep-water spots Kenney pulled onto today were veritable ghost towns. No bait. No bass.

“There was just nothing there,” he said. “I messed around on a couple other deep spots and didn’t do much there so I went and flipped grass and caught three. I was definitely punting, that’s for sure.”

Shortly after, the grass bite tailed off so he resorted back to his offshore spot and to his delight, the shad had returned and so had the bass.

“They were biting and I caught them good,” he said. “I just didn’t catch any big ones. I caught about nine keepers in the last 2 hours of the day. I don’t know why they weren’t there today. They were there yesterday morning. All I know is it was a grind out there today.”

He handled only eight keepers today and knows the potential is there for a massive stringer, but is aware of the possibility of coming in short of a limit tomorrow.

“It’s not like, ‘I’m going to pull over here and catch some,’” he said. “It’s a grind.”

He likely won’t head offshore until mid to late morning tomorrow, especially if they’re not out there first thing.

5th: Herren Holding Steady

> Day 2: 5, 15-11 (10, 30-08)

Herren hasn’t fished Rayburn since the mid-90s, but he seems to have figured out something this week that’s allowed him to be consistent.

“I have a little pattern I’ve been running and I’ve been able to expand on it a little bit,” he said. “I found some more water today and added to what I was doing, so I’ve got about a day’s worth of spots without having to see the same water.”

Most of his fish are coming out of 8 to 12 feet of water, and of the 12 keepers he caught today, the best was a 5-pounder.

“It was about the same as yesterday,” he said. “Nothing fancy – just solid fishing. I’m flying by the seat of my pants and having a good time fishing so that’s what I’m going to keep doing.”

7th: Wheeler Had Big Turnaround

> Day 2: 5, 19-15 (10, 29-12)

Jacob Wheeler isn’t ready to rinse the taste of victory from his mouth just yet. The reigning Forrest Wood Cup champ, who’s fishing his first tournament since his Lake Lanier triumph in August, rebounded from a sluggish day 1 and more than doubled his catch with the best stringer of the event so far.

He did it by leaving behind the skinny water that had produced some quality bites in practice.

“Yesterday, I was fishing shallow and I was throwing big topwaters and swimbaits because I caught some big ones in practice doing that,” he said. “It just wasn’t happening.”

His adjustment paid off as he boated 18 keepers and capped off the day with a 6 1/2-pounder on his last cast. It fit nicely with two other 4-plus pounders he caught.

“That helped a lot,” he said of the kicker. “I’m as pumped as I’ve ever been in a tournament. I got a taste of victory at the Cup and now I don’t want to get the taste out of my mouth. You get in the winner’s circle once and you don’t want to get out of it.”

On day 3, he’s going to be in big-fish mode as he seeks to close the gap on the leaders.

“I’m going to put three rods on the deck and go for the W,” he said. “I’m going after the big ones and lots of them. I have a little bait that I’m catching them on, but I’ve almost run out of them. I’m super-gluing them and everything else, so we’ll see.”

27th: Ferguson Dumbfounded

> Day 2: 3, 8-01 (8, 22-12)

Ferguson came into the event with one goal on his mind: Secure enough points to jump into the Top 5 in the standings and lock up a berth in next year’s Cup. He fell well short of his goal as those ahead of him in the standings didn’t stumble at all.

After starting the day in 7th, he couldn’t generate any bites on the football jig he threw on day 1.

“It calmed right down and made it tough for me. I was out fishing deeper. I thought it might help and even make some of the grass fishing tougher,” he said. “I don’t know what else I could’ve done. I’m very disappointed because the biggest thing is I was in contention to make the Cup. That’s what was on my mind all day – just trying to find a way to get into the Top 20 and keep earning points. I wasn’t focused on much anything else.”

He didn’t lose any fish that would’ve helped him – it was just a painfully slow day.

“It was very frustrating. I couldn’t believe I only had three keeper bites,” he added.

35th: Cochran Shifts Focus To ‘Bucket List’

> Day 2: 5, 9-06 (10, 20-12)

Today saw the legendary career of George Cochran come to an end with yet another finish in the money – the 211th such finish in 361 career events between B.A.S.S. and FLW for the 62-year-old easy-going former railroad brakeman from Hot Springs, Ark.

“It’s all over for me,” he said. “I know I’ll be real sad come February because I’ll miss it. But my goal was to retire when I was 62. I reached my goals in fishing by winning two Classics and a Cup. It’s been a dream come true. Now, it’s like turning another page in my life.

“I was gone fishing for 35 years and my wife raised our children and now that I’m retired, I’ve got three grandchildren so now I’m going to be able to enjoy them and watch them grow up. Plus, I’ve got a bucket list of things I want to do with my wife and family.”

His last tournament at Rayburn before this week was the 1998 FLW Tour Major, in which he finished 7th. The lake’s undergone some changes since then, but as he became known for over his career, he concentrated on the shallow portions of the lake all week.

He fished a bright-colored Strike King Zero about 6 feet off the outside edge of the grass, jerking it like a fluke.

“I was working it real fast and I caught a lot of fish both days,” he said. “Lakes cycle and this lake will come back. There are times of the year when it’s really good. They’re keeping it real low compared to before when it used to be up in the bushes and willows. They’re a little bit harder to locate, but there’s still some good fishing here. I think the (cold) front had a lot to do with it. Everybody caught the heck out of them in practice when that front came in. When it cleared up, it’s been tough, but I was able to do what I’ve always done and scratch out a limit of fish each day and get a check.”

Notable

> Day 2 stats – 110 anglers, 63 limits (6 fewer than yesterday), 11 fours, 15 threes, 11 twos, 5 ones, 5 zeroes (2 more than yesterday).

> Reigning FLW Tour Angler of the Year David Dudley isn’t fishing this week, but his boat got plenty of use as nephew Philip Jarabeck competed in his first Tour event using his uncle’s equipment. He wound up 47th and cashed a check.

> After zeroing on day 1, Lamonte Loyd weighed in three fish for 11-02 today, but his 7-11 proved to be the biggest fish so far on the pro side through 2 days. He finished 95th.
