Columbia, SC
– While Lake Murray, site of this week’s Carolina Clash – the sixth stop of the 2008 Bassmaster Elite Series – may have initially been constructed as a hydroelectric generation facility, it has evolved into one of the most storied bass fisheries in the nation. With Santee Cooper drawing much of the springtime glory, anyone will tell you that Murray is the best fishery in South Carolina.
It’s been a few years since the BASS boys have been to Murray. The last Tour event at the storied pond was back in 2000 when Alton Jones won a Megabucks event there with nearly 44 pounds. This week, pros are saying that 44 pounds will be enough to secure a Top 50, but it is likely going to take more than a 16-pound per day average to win.
The BASS ZONE met with some heavy hitters the morning of the final practice day to get their take on how the week will unfold.

– While Edwin Evers entered the day as the leader, he wasn’t able to back it up as Kenyon Hill’s momentum gathered more steam as he sacked his heaviest limit of the week weighing in at 18-2 on the final day to add to his four-day total weight of 68-0.
Hill capped off a week of incredible consistency and won his first Elite Series title by nine
pounds.
