We caught up with Aaron Martens at the recent Bassmaster Southern Open and asked how his day went.
“Terrible!” he said. “I couldn’t catch anything but short fish!”
Well, even the best pros have off days and we know it tears them up, especially after a good practice on a lake like Guntersville. Sometimes things all fall into place and other times what looks like a sure thing, or close to it, becomes a bust.
Martens didn’t have much to add about his recent effort in the U.S. Open on Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The Alabama angler, transplanted from California, said he had one of his worst tournaments out there due to a lower water level than he expected along with him just not getting on a good pattern.
“I just need to go out and catch some fish,” he said, but he was smiling all the while. “The Open is one of my favorites. I just stunk this year.”
We know Martens will whack a few of those big spots on the Coosa River and get back in form.
