WHO’S DOIN’ THE
SCHOOLIN’?
J
ust moments before Missouri pro Joe
Wieberg hooked up with this bass on
the final day of the Costa FLW Series
Championship at Lake Guntersville,
FLW on-the-water reporter and photogra-
pher Rob Matsuura captured video
footage of some G-Ville hawgs schooling
on the surface. Wieberg saw it too and
whipped his umbrella rig into the fray.
The multi-bait imitator obviously schooled
this bass well enough that Wieberg was
able to hook up. After a short fight, he
swung her in right over the net held by
co-angler Derek Barnett en route to piec-
ing together a 12-pound, 9-ounce limit
that boosted him to 59th place.
