Pittsgrove, NJ, Feb 25, 2015. Bassmaster Classic champion Casey Ashley and runner-up Bobby Lane joins Mike Iaconelli on Ike Live!, Monday, March 2, at 8:00 pm ET, live-streaming at MikeIaconelli.com. A free-form fan call-in/tweet-in follows at 9:30.
Ashley nailed the 2015 Classic at Lake Hartwell in Greenville, SC, with a stunning Third Day bag of 20-3, to push this 3-day total to 50-1. He is only the third angler to win the Classic in his home state and the first ever to win on his home-lake.
Bobby Lane placed second with an impressive 46-15 total, and Iaconelli pulled in a total of 42-6 on his new Abu Garcia line of rods. The three anglers will talk about the many challenges of this year’s Classic, not the least of which was frigid temperatures and freezing rain.
