(AP) — While the debate continues about the Atchafalaya Spillway’s 14-inch minimum-size bass limit, fishermen at the recent Anglers Against Autism tournament talked about abundance — and the action.
“Man, I’m excited. We caught lots of fish,” tournament veteran Don Hutchinson said, “And we caught them most all day. The spillway is alive and well.”
Hutchinson teamed with rising-tournament angler Corey Wheat to win the 42-boat event (five bass, 15.04 pounds), and Wheat’s near 5-pound largemouth was the tournament’s big fish.
