Having not shot an international match since winning Olympic gold in London, Rhode (El Monte, Calif.) returned to action last month in Tucson, Ariz., and quickly picked up where she left off with the top qualifying score and an eventual bronze medal.
Shortly after celebrating the first birthday of son Carter, she ventured overseas once again but...

Jason Christie Cracks Dardanelle for Come-from-behind Win
Jason Christie pulled off a 4-ounce “wonder” win Sunday in the Bassmaster Elite at Lake Dardanelle.
It wasn’t a case of anyone thinking that a Christie victory would be a wonder. After all, the pro from Park Hill, Okla., was already an Elite champ from the 2013 season and has a very successful career going. It was Christie himself who was kept guessing.
“At what point did you know you’d won this?” a reporter asked Christie, who had started out the championship round in fourth place.
“When they announced on stage I was the winner,” Christie replied. “To be 3 pounds...
New Mexico Team Wins Second Regional
Tanner Cooper and Memo Nunez are likely to hold a record for a while as the only team to win two Carhartt Bassmaster College Series regionals — in two separate regions.
The teammates from New Mexico State University got to choose to compete on California’s Clear Lake for the Western Regional because their regional, the Central, was on the Ouachita River in Louisiana, more than 12 hours from home.
“We couldn’t pass up fishing on Clear Lake,” Cooper said. Both Clear Lake and Ouachita River were a 20-hour drive and are both great fisheries, but Clear Lake has the distinction of...

Ice, No Ice, and Everything in Between
When you live near the Minnesota and Canadian border, two things become very important in life: fishing and bragging rights. That’s why the hard-core anglers of the northland (and those who vacation there) fish in all conditions, even in just a few weeks’ spread. For the recent statewide “opener,” there were boats pushed all the way up to the ice still just two miles out on Lake of the Woods. You can look long and hard and not find a more prolific fishery with so many options. Spend a few weeks in April and May up at the Lake of the Woods and Rainy River to find all of the following at...

Toyota ShareLunker Season Ends Quietly
After getting off to a fast start with three entries in November and December, the Toyota ShareLunker season sputtered to an end April 30 with a total of only nine entries.
Low lake levels, unseasonably cold spring temperatures and windy conditions on many weekends combined to limit angler opportunities to catch big bass. But the fish were out there, and those who persevered will be rewarded with replicas of their catches and ShareLunker clothing at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center on June 7.
Two catches were new lake records. Ken Leonard of New Braunfels set the new...
