Renegade Marine's Cabin Fever Open

Monday, March 06, 2017

For the third straight year, Tommy Pedigo and Rick Hiser have won the Renegade Marine's Cabin Fever Open. They continued their dominance at Nolin and bested the field of 29 teams.

The fishing was slightly off due to a series of fronts that moved into leading up to the event. "The day started off chilly but turned out to be a nice day," said tournament director John Newton. "Because of that, the fishing wasn't as good as it usually is."

The winning team had a bag weighing 14.48-pounds that included a 5.32-pound fish. "It was much slower and we only caught seven fish," said Hiser. "We got the biggest one pretty early and it was tough all day long." The team caught their fish on reaction baits.

For the win, they took home the guaranteed $1,000 since this event was part of the Lucas Oil BIGMONEY Tournaments Series. The next in the series will be the Cabins at Dale Hollow Lake Open on April 9th.

The team would like to thank their sponsors Mercury Marine, Renegade Marine, Power Analytics, Warren Electric and American Chiropractic.
