4th: Ashley still Confident

Ashley spent most of the day within sight of Williamson. His confidence for day 4 is buoyed because he thinks Williamson's primary area is about out of big fish, whereas his own has the capability of kicking out a huge stringer.

"If they cooperate, I can catch 20 pounds, no problem," he said. "I'm not wishing (Williamson) bad luck or anything, but he won't catch them tomorrow.

"I saw every one he caught today except that big one. I don't know where he got that one." Complete Story

 
TEEN ANGST
Ashley is by far the youngest member of this group, but he hasn’t shown any willingness to be intimidated.

The collision took the lower unit off Ashley's outboard, but Arkansas pro Mike Wurm happened by a few minutes later, saw that Ashley was in trouble and stopped to help. Ashley transferred his Marshal and his catch to Wurm's boat and made it back to the landing with three minutes to spare. Complete Story
 
Wheeler Patterns 2–5

Casey Ashley made a huge move on the final day to finish 2nd. He fished a mix of a jerkbait and jig.

He had a stretch of jerkbait water that accounted for all of his day-1 weigh-fish. During the day-2 cancellation the area muddied significantly, so he needed to use a jig there on day 3 when competition resumed. The water had cleared enough overnight, however, that the jerkbait was back on for the final day. Complete Story
