In The Box With Dion

BP pro Guido Hibdon of Sunrise Beach, Mo., trails Brown by about 4 ½ pounds. And if there is one guy you don’t want lurking behind you on Lake Eufaula, it’s a proven veteran like Hibdon, especially when he gets “dialed in.”

Today Hibdon got “dialed in” to the tune of 23 pounds, 4 ounces to claim second place with a three-day total of 59 pounds, 8 ounces.

And Browne has a little bit of Hibdon double-trouble to deal with tomorrow since Dion, Guido’s son, sacked 22 pounds, 5 ounces on the very pattern that Guido told him about. In fact, Dion slid into the top-10 cut in 10th place and now stands in a position to help Guido. There are no rules that prohibit pros from sharing information with other pros who are in competition – what’s that saying about blood being thicker than water?

Though Hibdon is keeping quiet about his pattern details, he did say that the fish are definitely postspawn bass and that each day they have changed.

“The first day, they were real shallow, and I started out too deep,” Hibdon said. “But once I figured how they were set up, I mauled them. Today was just the opposite. I started up shallow, and my boat was sitting right on top of the son-of-a-guns. I went two or three hours without a bite, and once I figured out they had moved out just a tad, I mauled them again. I’m talking, I caught 23 pounds in no time. I’m fishing the same water each day with two lures, but it just takes me a while to dial them in. But once I figure out how they are set up on those places, it’s game over.” Read Complete Story
