Whitewater Fishing pro ambassadors drill down into the details of what elevated them in the 2024 Bassmaster Classic.
Whitewater Fishing is proud to announce that two of its pro ambassadors did precisely that. Both hailing from Wisconsin—yet competing on the southern waters of Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees near Tulsa, Oklahoma—Adam Rasmussen and Jay Przekurat, finished second and fourth, respectively.
Approximately two hours before sunset, while on the boat, a dark rain cloud began to canopy over the top of the lake. After gathering my equipment to get ready for a quick boat ride back to our cabin, I realized this gentleman had no intentions of leaving. As the rain began to fall, he urged me to grab the fishing pole from the front deck with a black plastic worm already tied and start fishing. My first cast in the rain landed six inches on the opposite side of an exposed log. Immediately after the worm hit the water, a bass hit like that of Mark McGwire hitting a baseball.
