BassFan Senior Editor Cody Pike wasn t overly thrilled with any of his first four outings as an MLF Pro Circuit competitor. The fifth one was pretty decent, and then the regular-season finale was spectacular.
The 28-year-old rookie from Virginia triumphed in last week s derby at the St. Lawrence River with a four-day total of 82-12. Starting the final day with a 6 3/4-pound deficit, he caught a 22-03 sack that was enough to give him the win when previous leader Joey Cifuentes managed just 12-05.
