RED RIVER AND BEYOND WITH DEAN ROJAS

Lake Havasu City, AZ - After a 14th place finish in the Toyota Tundra Angler Of the Year Standings, Elite Series pro Dean Rojas will compete in his 10th Bassmaster Classic this February on the Red River. While Rojas has fared well in Classic competition, finishing in the Top 25 in each of his previous five Classic appearances, his highest finish came in 2004 at Lake Wylie where he landed in 4th place.

“I go to the Classic to win,” he stated. “You’re not in it for the points so you’re either going to hero or zero. I learned that when I almost won at Lake Wylie. I was in the right area and never lost a fish the entire event. I just got beat and that’s what happens when you don’t get the right bites.” Read More

Dean Rojas: Breaking KVD's reign

I'm ecstatic with the tournament (the Elite Series Battle on the Bayou at Toledo Bend Reservoir).

It was sort of the reverse of when I won 10 years ago down here. That time I came from behind to claim first place. This year I had to fight off a serious charge at the end by Gerald Swindle to win.

2011 Battle: Straightening Out The Bend

MANY, La. -- As they met backstage, Dean Rojas and Gerald Swindle shook hands, then gave each other a man hug. Both smiled graciously, both teared up a little.

It was hard to tell who had just beat who, but it was Rojas who had bested Swindle by 1 ounce in the TroKar Battle on the Bayou. Rojas secured a wire-to-wire win, his second Bassmaster Elite Series victory. It was his fourth Bassmaster career win, one of which, like Sunday's win, was on Toledo Bend Reservoir.

Dean Rojas - In the News	June 25, 2011
The Dean of Froggin'

By Dean Rojas as told to Ed Harp No, I'm not talking about a gig and a frying pan. I'm talking about catching shallow summertime bass with one of my Spro Bronzeye Frogs. To do it right you'll need three of them and some basic tackle.

Spro Bronzeye65 in Midnight Walker

This is your general, go-to bait. It'll catch bass over weeds and thick vegetation, in lily pads and around laydowns under all conditions. Bass can't resist those piercing red eyes. As soon as you take it out of the package cut about an inch off both legs. That'll make it walk cleaner and with very little effort on your part.

Work it really slow right over the top of where you think the bass are hiding. Give them plenty of time to make up their minds.
