Howell finds key to Guntersville, claims title of World Champion in Alabama.

One pound, one ounce. That’s roughly the weight of one largemouth bass of legal size to keep for competition.

It also happens to be the exact amount that Randy Howell beat Paul Mueller by to win the 2014 Bassmaster Classic Sunday on Lake Guntersville in Alabama. Considering Paul was only able to catch 3 of the 5 fish limit on day one, the outcome could have been very different had the weather not played such a huge role.

Introduction to Reel Weather YouTube Channel!

I just uploaded a video that I put together after returning from my two-day trip to Bass Pro Shops in Harrisburg, PA.  Special thanks to the Weather Underground, the Sim Redmond Band, Dobyns Rods, Zach Meadows, Bass Attacker Lures, the whole team at Bass Pro Shops who were incredible to work with, and to the staff where I stayed at the Candlewood Suites who treated me like family for 3 days.  Hope you like it!

You may have read Dr. Jeff Masters’ recent blog post about Northern California experiencing one of the worst droughts on record.  Being that I live in NY and it has seemed for the past three years (I’m knocking on wood as I write this) like all it does is rain and/or snow here, it never occurred to me that something like this could be taking place so close.  When I reach out to Gary Dobyns and ask him about it, he is surprised that I haven’t heard.

“It’s bad, Jim.  Orville is 197 feet low right now.”
