GREENVILLE, S.C. — Casey Ashley is considered by many to be one of the favorites to win the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.
But if he wins, he’ll do it with 38 minutes less fishing time than the rest of the field. Contrary to unverified published reports of 40 minutes, B.A.S.S. officials confirmed the penalty is 38 minutes.
Ashley was 38 minutes late checking in for Wednesday’s official practice period at Lake Hartwell — and as a result, he’ll start Friday’s opening round by sitting for that amount of time in the "penalty box."
