I thought this was interesting >
Carson Sims (13 years old) of Boerne Texas, the youngest angler to ever fish the Open, on day-one caught the big bass of the day, a smallmouth that tip the scales at 4.40. Cason also caught what would have been the second big bass of the day another 4 pounder to add to the total weight of the day 11.29.
Now for the kicker, the young angler from Texas drew Aaron Martens for day-two of the competition. When I ask Sims who he drew for day-two he replied, “Aaron Marten, who is he?” I couldn’t believe what I had heard, first of all that he drew Aaron Martens and second he didn’t know who he was. I told him Martens is one of the best anglers in the world and second one of the best anglers on Lake Mead.
“The bass aren’t as big here as they are in Texas,” said Sims at the weigh-in scales. Sims and his father Claude Sims, have been fishing team events in Texas and winning a few events this year. His father has won 5 boats in 7 years in Texas and knows his way around a bass tournament.
“I’m so excited for Carson,” I don’t care if I catch another fish for the rest of the tournament. We came here for Carson and he has already had the time of his life,” said his father.
