Sammie Jo Denyes and Keith Phillips
September 18, 2007 by admin
The final event of the 2007 WBT schedule is the first event of the year for professional angler Sammie Jo Denyes. She’ll fish the Red River tournament out of a Nitro bass boat that has a patriotic wrap that seems like a shoe-in for the Coolest Rig Running award. The story of the wrap, Sammie Jo’s decision to sit out most of the 2007 season, and her plans for the 2008 WBT are worth a listen.
Then we catch up with Keith Phillips from the Bassmaster Elite series. The Elite season may be over, but Keith is busier than ever preparing to fish for the U.S. in the Eurobass Tournament coming up in Spain. When he gets back from Europe, he’ll have just enough time to gear up for the Bassmaster Wild Card Qualifier on Lake Okochobee, where he’ll need to turn in a top-10 finish to get his Elite tour card for the 2008 season. But even with this busy schedule, Keith had time to stop by and share some tips on swimming a jig to capitalize on the coming fall bite.
