Steve Kennedy grew up fishing West Point Lake, site of the next Elite event, the Pride of Georgia.
A lot of what Steve Kennedy knows about bass fishing he learned on West Point Lake from his father. So good at catching bass, Van Kennedy qualified for the 1982 Bassmaster Classic through what is now the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation.
Knowing that history, most people would rush to add Steve Kennedy to their B.A.S.S. Fantasy Fishing team for the May 5-8 Bassmaster Elite Series event, the Pride of Georgia out of LaGrange, Ga. But even Kennedy (son or father) might advise not jumping to conclusions: Steve last competed in a major West Point tournament in 2005.

Continued heavy rainfall in the Table Rock Lake region has forced the postponement of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open until this fall. The event most likely will be rescheduled for this October.
Capt. Gary Haupt with the Water Patrol Division of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said that all events on Table Rock Lake have been canceled through Sunday, May 1. The Marine Patrol cited public safety and property damage concerns as the main reasons for revoking the permits that are needed to hold tournaments on the lake.
"There's an advisory out for boaters on Table Rock and Lake Taneycomo this weekend because of the historic water levels we're experiencing, and in turn, the historic water releases," Haupt said. "There's a greater possibility of both property and personal damage with conditions like this. Our decision to revoke the permit wasn't a selective thing, we've canceled all events on the lake this weekend."
