Casey Ashley Wins 2015 Bassmaster Classic
GREENVILLE,
S.C. — On Sunday evening at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Casey Ashley
completed a journey that began more than three decades ago and seemed to
drag on forever these past few weeks.The 31-year-old South Carolina native, who has lived just a few miles from Lake Hartwell all his life, caught five bass that weighed 20 pounds, 3 ounces to cap a moving victory in the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro on his home waters with a three-day total of 50-1.
The weight was enough to help Ashley pass Elite Series pro Bobby Lane of Florida, who finished second with 46-15, and Texas angler Takahiro Omori, who placed third with 44-3.
