Longest run pros have made.

Joe Thomas used to run from Clayton to Rochester, on Ontario that's a hell of a gamble.

I fished that tournament (BASS Clayton 1991). He ran to Little Sodus Bay. We ran to Chaumont Bay that day and it was horrendous! He went two times further! That was when the standard rig was an 18’ w/150. Joe ran a Skeeter. Rick Clunn won that one.

Some high school kids and their captain ran from Paris Landing to Pickwick Dam I think 3 days in a row in a BASS High School Championship a few years back. That’s like 125 miles or so each way.

we had a camp on little sodus from 2005 to 2010. We still go back every year to fish in May. Imo, it’s picturesque small town Americana especially during the summer months. Lots of events and activities going on, parades, garage sales, kids playing in the park etc. ever since the covid real estate boom the housing market there is insane.

A few years ago people were running down to Mexico from Clayton. I know a lot of guys ran from Waddington to chaumont recently

I did the Mexico Bay from Clayton thing in an FLW w/ Ernie Freeman. We had a sh!t day w/ insane waves. We were coming back and had some electrical issues, bilge pumps were acting up and the wind was getting worse and a storm was moving in and we knew the waves at St Vincent would be epic. Ernie said “things could be way worse, you could be out shopping for a minivan w/ your wife”!

Freakin' classic!

Back in 80's Basil Bacon ran from James river to North river at Currituck Sound. Not sure but I think he was fishing out of a 340 Ranger.

that’s great!

Ernie is a great dude, my buddy has been a co for him on a few occasions and I talked to him a few times during BFLs.

Having fished with Ernie he seems like a guy that won't "die on the hill" when it comes to spots. If they're cold he quickly cuts bait and goes to plan B, C, D all the way to Z. I can't imagine making an hour and a half run just for him to say 15 mins later "yep, they're not here let's move!".
