A 7-pound, 18-inch largemouth bass bypassed reporters and went straight back into the water Saturday following a demoralizing defeat at the Bassmaster Lake Lewisville Shootout. 'This is a fish who prides himself on going out to that weed bed every day and eluding anglers, and you could see the disgust on his face,' Bassmaster official Travis Hessman said. 'There's no answer for how a bass who has been doing this for so long could get hooked on such a shoddy crankbait, and that's something he'll just have to live with until the next tournament.' Hessman added that the bass would be fined $30,000 for failing to fulfill his media obligations.
