Todd Faircloth fished across the creek from Kriet on a stretch that either might have been able to win on if they'd had it all to themselves. He focused on the ends of a couple of drains and some points and flats that had grass coming out from the bank. "The thicker the grass was, the better," he said. "And coontail was definitely the best grass." Most of his fish came on a Sebile Flatt Shad, but he also caught a couple on a Senko. "I was pumping the Flatt Shad, fishing it almost like a worm. That was critical." > Gear: 7'2" medium-action Castaway rod, unnamed casting reel (7:1 ratio), 16-pound Sugoi fluorocarbon line, 1/2-ounce Sebile Flatt Shad (shad/green back or chrome blue). > He said he threw a lipless crank of another brand for part of day 1 because it sank more slowly. - Main factor in his success – "The area. It was all about area here."
- Performance edge – "The Sebile Flatt Shad was it for me here, but I had to fish it a little slower than normal."

2010 Classic 3rd Place: Todd Faircloth |
Todd Faircloth put together a super-strong challenge for the bass-behemoth that is Kevin VanDam this week. Ultimately, it wasn’t enough to pull off the upset, but as Todd pointed out, there are few regrets in his performance this week.
“It was a good showing, but it’s not where I wanted to finish,” he said. “I really felt like I had a legitimate shot at winning this thing. I fished a clean tournament and didn’t lose any fish, I just never got a big bite today.” Read More
