The 2013 Angler of the Year (AOY), 2013 Rookie of the Year (ROY), Toyota All-Star Week tournament bids and 2014 Bassmaster Classic bids were mostly decided by the end of the third day leaving only the outcome of the tournament itself in question going into the final day.

Detroit Lions players, bass fishing pros and sponsors battled the elements and the bass on Monday in the 2nd annual Detroit Lions / KVD Charity Fishing Tournament. And like last year’s inaugural event, the bass proved to be a tougher opponent than any the Lions will likely face on Sundays.
