Smitson Looks To Defend Team Tournament Title On Marshyhope Creek

 

Professional angler Melvin Smitson, Baltimore Maryland looks to defend his Crabtowne Bassmasters Open Team Tournament Title On Marshyhope Creek this Saturday August 3, 2013!

 

In 2012 Smitson weighed in 6 bass for 17 lbs 03 oz and had a 4 lb 3 oz lunker. That combo anchored his first place victory and big fish for the day. So what do you for an encore?

 

"Your allowed to weigh in a 7 bass limit so I will start there. A few bags pushing 20 lbs are rumored to being had in the past year or so. Maryland DNR has done a really nice job with stocking these bass in Marshyhope Creek. I think I have my work cut out for me that's for sure. As crazy as it sounds, I can in vision a scenario with an angler weighing in a 7 bass limit for 21 lbs or more in the near future."

 

"It's going to take 18 lbs or better to win this thing this year." My partner ( Dad ) was over this week and caught a couple 3 pounders, four or five 2 pound bass and eight largemouth bass that where a pound and a half or better. He told me he had around 23 bass total and his best 7 bass weighed around 16 lbs. Not to shabby for 5 hours of fishing."
