Fishing Trips with Elias, Cella Among PAAuction Items
OutdoorHub 11.03.11
BENTON, Ky. Nov. 3, 2011 – Autographed memorabilia by anglers participating in the Toyota Texas Bass Classic along with two great fishing trips are among the items in the latest PAAuction from the Professional Anglers Association.
Want to learn about crankbaits, reading structure or the Alabama Rig? Win the auction for the trip with 1982 Bassmaster Classic champ Paul Elias on Lake Eddins in Mississippi and you’ll get an unforgettable trip. Elias recently won the FLW Tour Open with a four-day total of more than 102 pounds throwing the Alabama Rig on Guntersville Lake, but his vast experience and knowledge of structure, crankbaits and information will contribute to a day to remember.
If you’re heading to the Red River in northeast Louisiana, you can spend a day with rising pro Kent Cella to learn more about this diverse fishery. Cella competes on the PAA Tournament Series and Bassmaster Central Opens, fishes the Red regularly and will be on the tournament scene for a long time. Learn about this great fishery, which hosted the 2009 Classic and hosts the 2012 event, while spending a day with Cella on his home waters.
At the recently-completed Toyota Texas Bass Classic, the “Tundra Ten” pros who made the final-day cut signed a large, suitable-for-framing sign with the TTBC logo. Only two of these were signed this year to be offered to the public by the PAA. The anglers who signed include Todd Auten, Keith Combs (2011 TTBC Champion), Ott Defoe, Edwin Evers, Alton Jones, Mike Iaconelli, Steve Kennedy, Mark Rose, Brian Snowden (2010 Champion) and Wesley Strader.
Additionally, a Bassaholics-PAA t-shirt signed by all 50 TTBC competitors and legendary pro Jimmy Houston is available. The pros qualified from the PAA Tournament Series, Bassmaster Elite Series and FLW Tour for the TTBC on Lake Conroe.
