2015 Bassmaster Classic Winning Baits
Local boy done good; real, real good. Overlooking the poor grammar, the message has never rang more true with the Bassmaster Classic win by hometown angler Casey Ashley on Lake Hartwell, SC. Growing up only 45 minutes from the lake's nearest launch ramp, Ashley spent many of his formative years fishing the waters of Lake Hartwell absorbing bits and pieces of information that would make him the angler he is today and more importantly teach him lessons about the lake that would prove invaluable during his classic victory. While the hometown advantage can certainly help clue you in on where and how to fish, it has always been a bit of a blessing and a curse in the history of the Bassmaster Classic. Until just the past decade, anglers fishing in their home state had never hoisted the trophy after it was all said and done. The local curse was widely known within fishing circles and held true until Boyd Duckett captured a classic on Lay Lake in his home state of Birmingham, Alabama followed by Randy Howell's 2014 victory on Lake Guntersville also in Alabama. While both anglers won in their home state, neither could say their victory hit as close to home as Ashley's triumph at Lake Hartwell his true home body of water and still a lake he fishes frequently.
The details of his victory can be read on a number of media sites, but for the purpose of keeping it simple we have outlined just the baits he used during competition to help him catch his final weight of over 50lbs of bass during his three days of fishing.
