“
At my victory on Winyah Bay, I was traveling 110 miles each way to the Cooper River, a total of 880 miles over four days of competition, and the dependability of my Bass Cat allowed me to make that trip across those big open bays without a second thought. Running at sea level with the current I could get the boat over 80 miles per hour and that allowed me to gain 40 minutes of fishing time as compared to many of my competitors. That’s critical when you only have 4 hours to fish. In
fact, I was so much faster than the rest of them I could pass people, stop for fuel, and pass them again on the way to our final destination. In a tournament where every ounce was critical, the big livewells were also an important factor. We were running through saltwater, so once you pumped water in you had to plug them up to keep it from running out. I made the long run through big water. My fish were as strong and healthy when I weighed them in as they were when I’d caught them hours earlier.
