So Close, Yet So Far...
Mike Iaconelli started the final day of the BASS event on Lake Murray a few weeks ago in second place. He weighed in a big bag of fish, and it looked like he might win. A tie with Davy Hite, and a tiebreaker rule of heaviest single day weight put him in second, and final charge by Casey Ashley moved Ike down to 3rd. Now it's 3 weeks later, tournament day one's 17lbs. 7oz. put Mike in 3rd place, behind Vic Vatalaro and Larry Nixon. The 20lb. bags dried up on day 2, most notably for Larry Nixon, more...

Iaconelli Finishes 3rd at Bassmaster Lake Murray Event
Iaconelli fished consistently on day 1 and 2, boating 26lbs. 15oz. for 7th place to handily make the top 50 cut. Iaconelli made his big move on Saturday with 16lbs. 6oz., moving him into 2nd place. Cloud cover and being on relatively more active fish had Mike culling fish early on Sunday. At the weigh-in, it Davy Hite and Mike Iaconelli finished with the same total weight, the tie-breaker condition of highest single day weight gave Davy Hite a 1oz. tie-breaker advantage. Understandably, Iaconelli was disappointed, as soon would be local angler Davy Hite, who was hoping for more...
