Beckville’s Jace Lindsay and Jaxon Evans have the right formula for winning. They are the Deep East Texas High School Fishing Series Anglers of the Year. That gives them a shot at BASS Master High School National Championships on Kentucky Lake in Paris, Tennessee, in late October.

Jace Lindsay shared that they caught their bass on soft plastic baits.

Lindsay-Evans won the season opener by more than a pound over a team from Lake Houston Elite, but their results from the November qualifier were thrown out as they finished well back in the pack at 30th — only the top five results from the qualifiers are used. They followed up with an eighth-place finish, two fifth-place finishes and a third-place finish.

Practice came up big for them during one of the early spring events as a cold front blew in and they didn’t have any fish as weigh-in time was fast approaching.
“We didn’t have anything and time was running out,” Lindsay said. “We went to a place we’d had good luck before and I think with an hour left, we caught five to keep us in it. We ended up winning (advancing) by 1/100s of an ounce.”
