CLEARED
FOR TAKEOFF
S
ometimes it seems like small-
mouth bass leap just to show
off. this acrobatic brown bass
certainly put on a show in front of
the camera after wes logan hooked
her on the second day of competi-
tion at Cherokee lake in April. the
leap was almost as remarkable as
the quality of the bass fishing on
the east tennessee reservoir, which
impressed everyone involved as
smallmouth after smallmouth bit
pros’ finesse offerings. Altogether,
the tournament catch totaled 1,767
bass in four days. logan caught a
quality 15-pound, 13-ounce limit on
day two and finished 89th.
