Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

As much as KVD is "The Man", Aaron Martens is within a few ounces of being a four-time Bassmaster Classic champion himself: second in 2002, 2004, 2005 and again in 2011.

 

"Kevin says that it's actually harder to finish second four times than it is to win it four times," Martens joked today when I caught up to him during the seven-hour drive back to his home in Leeds, Alabama.

 

Aaron has always been one of the nicest guys I've dealt with covering the tours, and I won't kid you, I was pulling for him hard when he came out of Day 1 with a lead.

 

So here's the schedule: Aaron Martens in the 6 o'clock hour, Kevin VanDam in the 7 o'clock hour. Same offer: any questions for Aaron Martens? Let's hear 'em.

Man I was really pulling for Aaron!  One of my buddies text me and told me there were rumars he had a thirty pound bag on day 3!  I wish it was true even though it wouldnt have been enough, I was pulling for him...just look back at our archive posts here...Aaron is the man!  Four second place finishes at the classic...dang that hurts!  He will get once soon!  No Jim Kelly Buffalo Bills bad luck here!

 

Joel can you ask him about the scrounger?

 

I've heard him talk a lot about the scrouger, Can you ask him when and where he would use the scrounger up here in the northwest. 

Could you ask him if he could take me fishing?
I would like to know what Aaron thinks are the most important factors to identify when trying to pattern bass on unfamiliar waters.

aaron is known for the UNconventional

 

how does he "get there" with the uncoventional technique, lure, presentation

 

for example, one year he finished second primarily with a hair jig, another the "underspin" or horsey head which has become poppular with the spots (last years FLW Cup)
