____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>James Madison, an IU professor who teaches a class on Indiana history, has seen it all. He’s watched every attempted IU mascot—a guy in a cowboy hat, for example—falter and flop over the years. One of the problems is that no one knows just what a Hoosier is. “I think it’s very important that we disagree on what Hoosier means so that we continue to have this conversation.”Point taken. Let’s continue.If Madison could design a Hoosier mascot, he says he might pick the buffalo1, which is on the Indiana state seal. But he knows, too, that most animals are already taken by other schools.“Whatever animal you come up with, you’re repeating, unless you come up with a mythical creature with an Indiana identity,” he says. He’s got a better idea.“How about a pork tenderloin sandwich? Is this a question to be serious about, or humorous about?”We’d like to know, too. Whatever the IU mascot could be, it needs to be rooted in something specific to Indiana, he says.“We’re the state school. Purdue can’t do it. They’ve got some godforsaken boilermaker.”

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Home-lake advantage means they know where the fish hide. It means they’ve scouted out spots and they call a few “lucky.” And it means grandma is watching.With family and Hoosier fans cheering them on, the IU Bass Fishing Club’s Jesse Schultz and Dustin Vaal sealed their second straight victory in the FLW College Fishing Central Regional Championship this weekend on Lake Monroe. Twenty teams competed.The two-man team traded in a three-day total of nine fish weighing a collective 31 pounds, 7 ounces for a $50,000 prize. Half the money goes to IU, and half goes to the team. The top five teams in each region will compete nationally in April.Schultz and Vaal both said they try to fish as one fisherman. Side by side at the front of the boat, they cast out and reel in rhythmically. When one hooked a bass, the other netted it. On Saturday, Schultz was the net man for Vaal, who caught all three of the final day’s fish. But Vaal said he needed his teammate out there. After frigid daily launches at 8:30 a.m., the two stayed energized by moving around to their favorite sweet spots on the lake and finding a pattern of casting to lure the fish.That pattern, which the two guarded until the end of the tournament, was deep-fishing over timber, Vaal said. They used a deep-diving crankbait.The event itself was like a carnival for fish enthusiasts. The National Guard sponsored the event and provided a festival in the tailgating fields, high-quality highlight reels and camera crews following the fishermen.Professional fisherman Justin Lucas was a host of the event. He weighed each team’s fish and said he had been watching the IU team’s excitement grow since the two fishermen qualified in May for this weekend’s championship on Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville, Ky.“They’ve been chomping at the bit for this to happen for a long time,” he said. Schultz said the excitement sprang from having the event at home — on their lake with their family and friends nearby. That allowed the club to help out and draw in bigger crowds. Free pizza after Saturday’s football game lured fans to the final weigh-in.Clint Shireman, a junior in the fishing club, watched the crowd grow after the game. He helped set up tents and ran a casting competition booth at the festival. He said the victory is huge for the team, and he hopes to use some of the winnings for future club travel events.He and other members of the club made up part of the crowd that cheered on the fishermen at the final weigh-in. Schultz’s and Vaal’s family members held signs hand-drawn in marker, saying “Find Lunkers and Win” and “KY Lake or Bust!” And, on a huge sheet of red poster board, “Memaw says: Go Jesse.” Grandma Darlene Schultz, who bought Jesse his first fishing pole, now watched him win his second consecutive college fishing tournament. Home-lake advantage means the memories are close, and this weekend, knowledge of the lake paid off for family and team alike.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Nine bass and a knowledge of the home lake meant victory for the IU Bass Fishing Club this weekend. Senior Jesse Schultz and junior Dustin Vaal won their second consecutive FLW Central Regional Championship and $50,000. The memory of last year’s success combined with high expectations for the home team were on their minds during the three-day tournament, Schultz said. The two fished against 20 other teams on their home lake, Lake Monroe.The University and the fishing club will split the $50,000 earnings in half. The final weigh-in, at 3 p.m. Saturday, was located on the tailgating fields near the DeVault Alumni Center. Fans leaving the football game stopped for free pizza and cheered on the fishermen as they weighed their day’s catch. The team won with a three-day total of nine fish for 31 pounds, 7 ounces.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>On day two of a three-day regional fishing tournament at Lake Monroe, IU bass fishermen Jesse Schultz and Dustin Vaal fueled on donuts and a deeper hunger for monster fish.With knowledge of the lake on their side, they are currently in second place among five final teams angling for a $50,000 prize. The two men won this tournament last year on Kentucky Lake near Murray, Ky.They’ve caught six fish for a two-day total of 20 pounds and 3 ounces.Zack Wojtowicz, a fellow IU Bass Fishing Club member who follows the team in his boat during the tournament, said the fishermen have been bagging their best near the end of the day.On Thursday, they caught two within the last 15 minutes of the day and today they caught all four after noon. The cutoff time is 3 p.m.The final day is Saturday. Schultz said he and Vaal will continue their technique of hitting all their favorite spots quickly. “When the fish aren’t biting, you have to move around a lot,” he said. “It’s not really luck but going to spots that you have confidence in. You can’t count luck out of the picture, but you have to work harder than it.”Truman State University is in first place with 10 fish and 21 pounds, 15 ounces. The top five teams out of an initial 20 will advance Saturday for a shot at the money.At 8:30 Friday morning, the temperature was just at freezing and the fishermen ate a quick donut breakfast. They waved to their parents and fellow club members, then launched their boat among the other competing schools at the Cutright boat ramp. FLW Outdoors and the National Guard sponsor the event and a fishing festival in the tailgating fields near the DeVault Alumni Center from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. Final weigh-in, which Schultz said will hopefully draw in the post-football game crowd, is open to the public at 4 p.m. Saturday at the fields.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Dustin Vaal kissed his fish. He hauled the 5-pound, 5-ounce largemouth bass into the boat just long enough for a picture and a weigh-in, then puckered up before dropping it back in Lake Monroe on Friday.“You give me two weeks,” he said to the fish. “Go eat, and then come back to me.”This weekend was the IU Bass Fishing Club’s last time to spend on the lake before the FLW College Fishing Central Regional Championship. The championship is Nov. 4 to 6 at Lake Monroe. After Sunday, the team isn’t allowed to touch the water until practice day Nov. 3.Jesse Schultz and Vaal, the two IU fishermen who will defend their regional title from last year, didn’t miss a moment to spend on the water, fishing all three days this weekend. On Friday, they fished from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., catching four fish and scouting their favorite banks.Last year, IU Bass Fishing won $50,000, including a new boat, in the regional tournament on Kentucky Lake near Murray, Ky. Now, they’re looking for a win on a lake they know better than any other team.The home lake advantage is about knowing the good spots, Schultz said. The team looks for shallow water against banks where trees and rocks provide shelter. Wind pushes schools of small fish to shallow areas, where the bass swim to feed.Vaal’s favorite season on the water is fall. But in weeks, days or hours, a lake can change. Rain and wind can shift the movement of fish and personality of the water.“We know where all the cover is,” Schultz said. “So if the water rises, we realize what’s under it.”Although they can’t control the weather, Schultz and Vaal said they can focus on how they fish.“We have to be one mind working together,” Schultz said. “We don’t argue. We become like one fisherman.”Schultz and Vaal fished again from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, catching nothing until they found a new sweet spot and caught four fish in 30 minutes, Schultz said.On Sunday, the club fished a tournament among members, with Vaal and Schultz fishing in two boats to cover more water. Schultz came in third. First place went to Zack Wojtowicz and second to Chris Weiss.It only took a 6.8-pound fish to win the tournament, Schultz said. This could be a sign that the regional tournament will result in fewer or smaller fish, but Schultz said he and Vaal want to be the fishermen catching them. In the May division qualifier, Schultz and Vaal placed second behind Purdue on Kentucky Lake. The other division qualifiers will gather at Lake Monroe for the 3-day tournament that will send the top five teams to compete nationally.
