Larry Nixon's Picks

Detroit River

Group A – Andy Morgan – Andy is red hot right now and there's no reason to believe he'll slow down. Plus he's done real well at Detroit in the past.

Group B – Larry Nixon – I've done real well at Detroit most years. Last year I didn't do too hot, but this is my time for revenge.

Group C – Kevin Long – Never pick against the local guy in a fishing tournament. Especially one like Kevin who's done very well at Detroit in the past, including last year's runner-up finish.

A member of Team Evinrude since 2006, Cochran was inducted into the Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2002. During his 29 years as a professional Cochran has finished in the top 10 a total of 59 times and won 9 tournaments, including the 2005 Forrest L. Wood Championship at Lake Hamilton. Like Nixon, his career earnings as a professional exceed $2 million.

George Cochran's Picks

Detroit River

Group A – Andy Morgan – Andy might be the best fisherman on the tour right now. He's certainly the hottest. He thinks he can win every tournament and has certainly come close this year.

Group B – Larry Nixon - You can't pick against the legend. He's won several tournaments there already and he's always one to watch for.

Group C – George Cochran – I'm going to start practicing there earlier this year and looking for some new places to catch fish. I think this is the year I master the Detroit River.

The legendary Team Evinrude pro Guido Hibdon has been fishing professionally for more than 38 years. He was inducted into the Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2004.

Guido Hibdon's Picks

Detroit River

Group A – Koby Kreiger – Koby used to live up in that area and has fished that river a lot. He should do very well at Detroit this year.

Group B – Larry Nixon – He's the most experienced out of that group and has won there before.

Group C – David Walker – He's game for the style of fishing that will be need to succeed at Detroit.
