The Pros Said It

“The lake is a lot different than when I lived here and I’m trying to figure out what the current conditions are. The conditions seem to be in their prime and it’s abnormally warm for this time of year. I would expect big things out of this event. Who’s going to catch them? I don’t know, but someone will find them. I have a lot of practice left to go and I’m still hunting for them.”- One-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier, ranked 83rd on the Bassmaster Elite Series Power Index, Mark Tyler, 34, Vian, Okla.

“The fishery here is unbelievable. My first fish on the Delta was 9 and 1/2 pounds yesterday morning. I was stoked coming in here before, and after the first one I caught, I could hardly stand it. It was a good way to start the morning. You can do just about anything you want to catch fish here. I think the anglers that are keying on the bedding fish are going to be successful.”– Bassmaster Elite Series rookie Scott Campbell, 24, Springfield, Mo.

“I was expecting the fishing to be a little better than what it is right now. I’m not sure if the pressure from the tournament last week is shutting them down, but I’m having trouble finding a lot of quality fish. There are areas holding pockets of fish and I’m hoping to run into one. I’m covering lots of water trying to find a group that are getting ready to move up and spawn, but the big waves of spawning bass haven’t hit yet.” –Two-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier ranked 21st on the Bassmaster Elite Series Power Index, Greg Gutierrez, 45, Red Bluff, Calif.

The Strategy

Tyler: Tyler’s primary pattern is flipping for both spawning and pre-spawn bass. He hasn’t found a specific sweet spot yet and plans to cover a lot of water during the tournament.

Campbell: Campbell is concentrating on what backwater areas – locations on the Delta unaffected by the tide or current and where the bass are heading before they spawn. Specifically, Campbell is targeting staging bass before they move onto the beds. He predicts 16 to 17 pounds a day will make the cut to the top 50 and the winning weight will be close to 100 pounds.

Gutierrez: Gutierrez is searching for several areas he can run to throughout the day. He describes the bass as moving with the tide and is using a variety of lures including a crankbait, Senko and drop-shot rig. He expects 17 to 23 pounds a day will win the tournament.

Day 1: Mark Tyler Takes Day One Lead on the Delta

Back to top

STOCKTON, Calif. – A former California resident, Bassmaster Elite Series pro Mark Tyler loves the Golden State. The 34-year-old, whose lone BASS win was in California on Clear Lake in 2003, stormed out to the lead at the “Duel on the Delta presented by Mahindra Tractors” with 23 pounds, 15 ounces Thursday, besting Alabaman and 2007 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year leader Derek Remitz by a mere eight ounces.

Tyler, who now resides in Vian, Okla., has had considerable success on the California Delta in the past. The massive fishery was the site of his Bassmaster Open record heaviest bass of 14-9. On Thursday, he boated the Purolator Big Bass of the Day- a 10-6 lunker.

Fishing fans can catch all of the on-the-water action on The Bassmasters Saturday, March 31, at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN2.

Tyler built a respectable limit by 10:30 a.m., and anchored his bag with the big bass at 12:30 p.m.

“Look at me, I’m still shaking, and I caught it three hours ago,” Tyler said. “My day really started out slow, and then the bite turned on. It was a great day.”

Tyler played it close to the vest on the details of his leading pattern, but did say he was looking forward to Friday. He is slated for a later launch time and feels that the tides will play into his favor.

Meanwhile, Remitz built on his momentum after a season-opening victory at Lake Amistad just two weeks ago. The 24-year-old is using a similar bait to the Omega football jig he used for victory at Amistad.

“I just went fishing today,” said Remitz, who is also leading the Toyota Rookie of the Year race. “I had a very difficult practice, but I concentrated on one of the few areas I caught fish in practice where some larger females are located in deeper areas adjacent to spawning flats.”

Finishing in third was Brent Chapman of Lake Quivira, Kan., with 22 pounds, 12 ounces. The 34-year-old made a long run to his honey hole- an area that he shared with three-time Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam.

“I had three fish in my livewell in the middle of the day and was thinking about leaving,” Chapman said. “Then I saw Kevin [Van Dam] land a four-pounder, so I stuck it out. I’m sure glad I did”

Rounding out the top five was Jeff Reynolds (22-11) of Idabel, Okla., and Bernie Schultz (22-10) of Gainesville, Fla.

Leading the co-angler division of the event was retired firefighter Ken Eddy (19-6) of nearby Madera, Calif., who held a more than two-pound lead over fellow Californians Gary Morris (16-15) of Tracy and Gerry Johnson (16-6) of Modesto.

Day Two of the “Duel on the Delta” presented by Mahindra Tractors will begin Friday from Stockton’s Weber Point at 6:50 a.m. PT. Weigh-ins begin at 3:00 p.m. PT and can be viewed at www.espnoutdoors.com.

Day 2: Remitz Continues Hot Streak at Duel on the Delta

Back to top

STOCKTON, Calif. – Madison, Ala., rookie Derek Remitz continued his first-year domination of the 2007 Bassmaster Elite Series, grabbing the Day 2 lead at the Duel on the Delta presented by Mahindra Tractors with a 27-pound, 9-ounce limit and finishing Friday with 50 pounds, 14 ounces. Fellow Alabama Elite pro Aaron Martens of Leeds, trails by a mere three ounces with 50-11.

The 24-year-old Remitz is in a rare position for a rookie. The former sod-farmer led the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year rankings and the 2007 Toyota Rookie of the Year race after his season-opening win on Texas’ Lake Amistad and is poised to build on his lead with a stellar performance on the California Delta.

Fishing fans can catch all of the on-the-water action on The Bassmasters Saturday, March 31, at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN2. The winner of the event will receive a $100,000 top prize.

The second tournament on the Elite Series is shaping into a battle between Remitz and 2005 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Martens. The duo sits more than eight pounds ahead of nearest finisher Jared Lintner of Arroyo Grande, Calif., who had 42 pounds, 0 ounces.

Remitz started Friday with only one keeper fish in his livewell until capitalizing on a mid-day run that started around 11 a.m. He stayed close to his opening spot but after finding little success, he looked for new water.

He was working an Omega jig - the same bait he primarily threw in his win on Amistad - slowly around precise pieces of structure

“I’m beginning to recognize subtle hints that are keys to my pattern, and it relates to slight differences in the bottom, or a certain kind of grass,” Remitz said.

Martens has had considerable success in the state of California scoring all three of his BASS victories in the Golden State. Martens’ last BASS win came on Clear Lake in April of 2002 and he also was victorious on Lake Shasta and Lake Oroville.

“I’ve got them figured out now,” Martens said exuding confidence. “It’s just up to me to finish it off.”

Similar to Remitz, Martens said that he caught all of his 30-pound, 10-ounce limit on new areas including a 11-pound, 2-ounce Purolator Big Bass, which earned him a $1000 premium.

Martens played it close to the vest on his pattern information, but did said he was fishing slowly.

Rounding out the top five were Thursday leader Mark Tyler, of Vian, Okla., in fourth with 40 pounds, 8 ounces, and Rick Morris of Virginia Beach, Va., fifth with 39 pounds, 8 ounces. Only the top 50 anglers will participate Saturday.

Leading the co-angler division was Gerry Johnson of Modesto, Calif., with 39 pounds, 8 ounces. Trailing Johnson was Californians Robby Chikasawa (28-0) of Sacramento in second, and Sal Herrera (27-10) of Discovery Bay, in third.

Day 3: Aaron Martens Takes the Lead on the Delta

Back to top

STOCKTON, Calif. – California native Aaron Martens still loves the state of California despite recently relocating to Leeds, Ala. The 34-year-old is seeking his fourth BASS win in the Golden State at the Duel on the Delta presented by Mahindra Tractors this week and currently leads the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament with 69 pounds, 13 ounces. Current Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year points leader Derek Remitz, an Elite rookie, sits in second with 66 pounds, 11 ounces.

Martens has gradually moved up the leaderboard after starting the tournament Thursday in 10th place. After catching more than 30 pounds Friday and surging to second, it was a 19-pound, 2-ounce limit that propelled him to the lead Saturday.

Fishing fans can see the final-day battle between Martens and Remitz on ESPN2 Saturday, March 31 at 9:00 a.m. ET. The top prize for the event is $100,000.

Martens has used an unconventional pattern for the California Delta, but plans to stick with his pattern on Sunday. He is working a small worm around spawning areas and sparse tulles.

“I used light line and a spinning rod all day,” said the 2005 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year. “The key is to fish very slowly and stick with your spots. I only moved 50 yards from my preliminary spot by noon today.”

Remitz and Martens have run away from the rest of the field as the closest competitor, Texan James Niggemeyer, sits more than 10 pounds behind the duo. Both are fishing the Frank’s Tract area of the Delta, but are using different approaches.

After a dismal practice period, Remitz of Madison, Ala., expected very little success at the Delta after his season-opening win at Texas’ Lake Amistad. But the former sod farmer is satisfied with his second-place showing thus far.

He has been working both a Rat-L-Trap and a jig slowly and methodically around precise pieces of cover.

“I am going to really slow it down tomorrow [Sunday],” the 24-year-old said. “If I don’t have a decent limit by 10 a.m. tomorrow, I will be forced to change areas.”

Rounding out the top five were Niggemeyer of Van, Texas, with 56 pounds, 2 ounces; Jeff Reynolds of Idabel, Okla., with 55 pounds, 0 ounces; and Brent Chapman of Lake Quivira, Kansas, with 52 pounds, 14 ounces.

Only the top 12 anglers will participate tomorrow. Two Californians qualified for final-day action: Jared Lintner of Arroyo Grande, finished in ninth with 51 pounds, 13 ounces, and Skeet Reese of Auburn, was in 11th with 51 pounds, 2 ounces.

Winning the co-angler division was Gerry Johnson of Modesto, Calif., with 49 pounds, 0 ounces. The Golden State angler claimed a Triton/Mercury rig valued at $50,000.

Johnson held off two other California anglers: Robby Chikasawa of Sacramento, who finished with 47 pounds, 14 ounces and Lee Poel of San Jose, with 35 pounds, 2 ounces. Chikasaswa earned a Triton/Mercury rig valued at $25,000.

Day 4: Aaron Martens Wins Duel on the Delta

Back to top

STOCKTON, Calif. – Castaic native Aaron Martens now of Leeds, Ala., capped off a week to remember Sunday winning the Bassmaster Elite Series “Duel on the Delta presented by Mahindra Tractors” with 85 pounds, 12 ounces over Elite rookie Derek Remitz of Madison, Ala., who finished in second with 78 pounds, 6 ounces. On Tuesday, Martens’ wife Lesley had the couple’s second child, a boy named Spencer.

The 34-year-old bested Remitz in addition to hard-charging Stephen Browning of Hot Springs, Ark., who finished in third with 75 pounds, 8 ounces.

Fishing fans can see all the details of Martens’ winning pattern on ESPN2 Saturday March 31 at 9 a.m. ET.

“If there was one place on the entire Earth that I could pick to win, it would be the California Delta,” Martens said. “Finally winning here is an amazing feeling. Heading into the tournament, I just wanted to finish in the top 50.”

With the Elite Series win, his fourth BASS win, Martens has amassed more than $1 million in BASS career earnings. He is the 18th member of that prestigious club.

Martens has scored all four BASS victories in the state of California and will look to capture a fifth win in the Golden State at the next Elite Series event on Clear Lake starting Thursday March 29.

Martens primarily concentrated on a short stretch of cover located in the Frank’s Tract area. He worked a four-inch and three-inch worm in his trademark color of Aaron’s magic on drop-shot rigs to sparse tulles.

Remitz fished in the same Frank’s Tract area as Martens for much of the tournament. The 24-year-old continued an unprecedented rookie run after taking victory in the season-opening Elite event on Texas’ Lake Amistad.

“I am really pleased with my finish here,” said Remitz. “I didn’t have a good practice, so I am absolutely satisfied with second-place.”

Remitz was working a red Rat-L-Trap around grass flats near spawning areas and caught the majority of his bigger keeper fish on small underwater structure changes with a jig.

Heading into the final day of action, it looked to be a two-angler race between Remitz and Martens. But the 40-year-old Browning posted the heaviest limit of the day at 24 pounds, 4 ounces, and put some pressure on the leaders.

Rounding out the top five were Skeet Reese of Auburn, Calif., with 74 pounds, 6 ounces, and Brent Chapman of Lake Quivira, Kansas, with 73 pounds, 12 ounces. Chapman scored the Purolator Big Bass of the Day, a 9-9 lunker, and earned the $1,000 premium.
