You know every local bass fishing guru gave Ashley the zip code of every bass in the lake. But he still had to catch em
This! It's no different than being in the same boat as your buddy and he catching fish while you cant buy a bite with the same exact bait. There's plenty of opportunity to screw up between finding a fish and landing one. Especially in the pressure cooker I'm sure he was placed in all week.

Casey stayed pretty much in the same flat the entire last day.
He has been fishing this lake all his life , has planted numerous brushpiles, and has alot of folks putting stuff in his ear all month leading up to this.
Icasmelly had over 1,200 places waypointed in his GPS. Do you think he spent three days finding 1,200 places in practice? Point is they ALL get info from friends,guides ...you name it.
Ever heard of information overload?
Bottom line Casey understood the Hartwell bass better than most because he fishes the lake every chance he gets. He knew the shallow water dock bite would go away for the most part due to cloudy weather conditions, thus he chose to stay on flat that the fish were moving in and out of for most of the last day.That takes patience way beyond his years. Most guys couldn't do that, especially on the last day.
In case you have never seen it, Hartwell has 10-15 ft visibility at times. Ridiculously clearwater that I absolutely hate to fish, since I grew up worming ledges and flipping /pitching brush on Lake Eufaula in ALabama where you are lucky to see past 6" into the water most of the year.
Casey won this tourney by being patient and fishing S-L-O-W. When you see the replay notice how slow he fished his stuff...gave a whole new meaning to the term "Slo-Rolling" to me.
The kid is good...period.
