The Columbus Bassmasters officially kicked off the 2026 season on April 11th at Indian Lake and it was a classic early-season showdown. The competition was tight, but a few familiar names rose to the top of the leaderboard by finding the right bite on rock in the warming waters. Jay Siefring landed Big Bass honors.
