Iaconelli on Cover of February 2010 Bassmaster Cover
Mike, accompanied by a huge bass, is featured on the February 2010 issue of Bassmaster magazine. The article, "Smart Ways to Fish 'No-Brainer' Baits", covers advanced techniques for using what many would consider "beginner baits", including: jitterbugs, in-line spinners, Cubby Mini-Mites and original Rapalas.
Mike reports, of his "panic box", which contains some of these "beginner lures", "These are almost emergency baits to catch a keeper -- or maybe three keepers. Or maybe I know the fish are here but can't figure how to get them to bite. Later, looking back at my season, I may see that more...

Iaconelli Finishes 4th in BASS Angler-of-the-Year Standings
Iaconelli came into the first BASS postseason in 11th place, and was given little chance of dethroning points leaders Skeet Reese and Kevin VanDam. Mike's win at the first event, the Berkley Powerbait Trophy Chase catapulted Mike from 11th into 3rd, unfortunately for Mike, a 2nd place finish by Skeet Reese kept the points lead just out of reach. While Kevin VanDam finished with a solid weight, only about 3.5lbs. off the winning-weight, he finished in the middle of the pack.
To conclude the season, Kevin VanDam dominated the Alabama River. Making long runs and catching big bags more...

Iaconelli Wins Berkley Powerbait Trophy Chase on Lake Jordan
Mike Iaconelli landed the big fish both days of the tournament, with a fish over 4lbs. both days. Mike also caught over 14lb. bags each day for a total winning weight of 28lbs. 15oz. to beat a hard-charging Skeet Reese, and first day leader Tommy Biffle.
Concerning his chances of winning the angler-of-the-year in a stunning come-from-behind fashion, Mike says, "Coming in here I knew, theoretically, I could win the AOY. Still, with this caliber of anglers, I thought the door wouldn't open. But I have made a career of not giving up and I'm certainly not going to more...

Berkley Beast and Tru-Tungsten Weights for Largemouth in Cabbage Patches
Last regular season stop on the bass tour, Lake Oneida. You know Lake Oneida, one of my favorite lakes in the country, going into it really excited. I ended up not having a great tournament there but I did catch fish. I caught enough limits to get me to the post season.
So let's talk about what I did at Oneida. I got to Oneida and it was really a weird deal because there were roaming smallmouths, schooling smallmouths, I never found those. And then there more...

Iaconelli Modifying Two Part Skirt Jigs to Make Finesse Jig on Mississippi River
The next stop was the Mississippi River out of Fort Madison. I'm going to tell you, talk about a tough tournament, you know this was a really tough one. You had high, muddy water, you had fish that were spread out, and you were coming off of a major flood so this was a real tough event.
I decided to fish backwaters in this event. You have main river and backwater and I decided to fish backwater, I locked one time up and I found the backwater more...
