2008 TBF Kansas State Team
Jason Baird is a ÂMaximum PerformerÂ
Johnny Starks and Rob Hague, WOW!
Wilson Lake: August 25 & 26th, 2007 proved there are keeper sized bass in the lake. The event as a whole went extremely well, but not a for numbers of keeper size fish.
Wilson Lake is on the verge of becoming a bass fishing Mecca of sorts, in Kansas. It has all the right ingredients, currently the water is still about 3 feet low, but has come up over 6 feet in the last 12 months, the massive amounts aquatic vegetation should allow for great spawns and a cover for the juvenile bass to hide and grow in. The numbers of under 15Â fish is absolutely incredible.
In all Bass Tournaments someone always figures out the key pattern and Jason Baird, was the man, who had to pool all his years of fishing experience to get the upper hand on these Wiley Wilson Lake Small mouth. Using a Storm Baby Chug Bug, for 2 days; on shallow, 2 foot or lesson sandy flat banks, with scattered vegetation, Jason was able to earn the Tournament Win and 2007 ÂCastrol Oil Maximum Performer Award  $500.00 Wal-Mart Card. Congratulations.
