After a hiatus from the Elite Series to fish the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour, Jason Christie re-qualified for the Elite Series, then proceeded to win the Sabine River event in his first year back. In this Bass University exclusive interview, Jason Christie talks about how the tournament progressed for him. He was making long runs and wasn't sure he'd have the fuel to make it to the backwater area he was fishing and back each day. Additionally, with the changing water levels, getting to the area was slow and monopolized the fishing day. Christie talks about being stubborn and sticking to his plan, which was fishing a Booyah Covert Double Colorado Spinnerbait. Thanks to Google Earth, we are able to see the route that Christie took and the area he fished from overhead.
