Ike Almost Wins Second Bassmaster Classic in 2009

Mike Iaconelli had a phenomenal 20+ lb. on the final day of the 2009 Bassmaster Classic, including a last minute big fish that Ike estimated at 6lbs. His day 3 weight temporarily moved him into first place, and that's where he stayed while eight others weighed in. Ultimately, Skeet Reese weighed in a 16lb. 2oz. bag that moved him narrowly into first by 11 ounces.

Ike finished second, earning him a $45,000 payday, and continuing his unprecedented streak of top 10 finishes.
