Team RedShad grabs First and Third in Indiana BASS Federation Invitational.

Bloomington, In -- Paul Smith finds himself in first place in the overall co-angler standings of the Indiana BASS Federation Invitational Series. After winning the first tournament of the year on Patoka Lake he picked up his second win today at Lake Monroe. This all in his first year fishing bass tournaments!

Paul, a student at Purdue University, says he has quickly become hooked on the tournament fishing experience. He is enjoying the opportunity to fish with a variety of anglers and learning from each one. Obviously he is a quick learner.

Also doing well today, co-angler Rod Yoder of RedShad.com, finished in third place. Both Paul and Rod fished Hildebrandt Tin Roller spinnerbaits over the tops of submerged weeds. The addition of a blood-red trailer hook proved deadly as the spinnerbaits were fished rapidly across the weeds triggering reaction strikes.
