Rojas, Roberson, Jones

Dean Rojas finally scratched his seven-year itch with a Bassmaster Elite win on Lake Oneida. Flying in the face of conventional Oneida wisdom, Rojas fished a frog (imagine that!) to catch a winning weight of largemouth bass…even as most of his peers serached the deeps for smallmouth bass. He’s here to tell us how we won it, what the win means, and what he’s good at besides frog fishing.

Then Major Cody Roberson calls in from Baghdad, Iraq to share some exciting news about the 2009 Bassmaster Classic and a special role to be played by the Army Bass Anglers. Maj. Roberson also talks about a couple of upcoming Fishing for Freedom events to be held in Texas in October. For more information about all of the Army Bass Anglers exploits and their mission of Support. Defend. Fish. visit ArmyBassAnglers.com

Finally, we return to the beginning of the Bassmaster Elite season and the Bassmaster Classic with Alton Jones. Jones will share the details of his winning pattern and techniques, and offer some advice on locating a “spot on a spot.” He also talks about the impact the win has had on him, his family, and his career and finishes up with the important role his faith plays in fishing and his entire life.
