FLW AND KBF ANNOUNCE INITIAL SPONSORS FOR KAYAK FISHING EVENTS

Dee Zee Truck Accessories named Title Sponsor – Multiple Brands signed as Associate Sponsors

MINNEAPOLIS (April 26, 2019) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, and Kayak Bass Fishing, LLC, (KBF) the nation's foremost organization supporting kayak bass anglers, announced today the first group of companies named as sponsors of the two kayak bass fishing tournaments scheduled in 2019.

Dee Zee, a staple brand in the truck accessory market since 1977, has signed on as title sponsor of the events. YakAttack, an industry leader specializing in kayak fishing gear and kayak rigging has been named as the presenting sponsor. Bass Pro Shops, FishUSA, Jackson Kayak, Bonafide Kayak, B&W Hitches, Dakota Lithium Batteries and Polaris have all signed on as associate sponsors with the organizations, ensuring that the brands will be showcased at all FLW/KBF Kayak events and through exclusive digital content and on-site activations. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.

“Dee Zee is excited to explore new marketing opportunities with FLW and KBF. These established brands have proven their ability to empower their athletes through their business models and showcase their sport,” said Scott Moyer, Director of Marketing for Dee Zee. We are thrilled to have the chance to engage their audience and display how closely our products align with their lifestyles.”

Grassroots B.A.S.S. Fishing Championships To Be Held On Lake Hartwell, South Carolina

April 26, 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Anderson, S.C., on the shores of Lake Hartwell is becoming a frequent and favorite stop for Bassmaster fishing tournaments.

The lake hosted the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods in 2015 and 2018, a Bassmaster Elite Series event in April, a B.A.S.S. Nation Championship in 2017, and High School Opens this spring and last.

Add two more major B.A.S.S. events to the lineup — the Bassmaster Team Championship and the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Championship — later this year.

The Nation Championship will be held Nov. 6-8, and the Team Championship will take place Dec. 11-14.

“Our team at Anderson County could not be more excited about hosting the 2019 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship as well as the Bassmaster Team Championship at Green Pond Landing and Lake Hartwell,” said Neil Paul, executive director of Visit Anderson. “Our community enjoys a tremendous amount of success whenever we’re hosting the great folks from B.A.S.S. We owe a great deal of credit to B.A.S.S. for their part in helping us establish Lake Hartwell as a championship fishery and Green Pond Landing as one of the premier facilities in the nation. We look forward to welcoming the anglers, their families and the entire B.A.S.S. Nation to Anderson County later this year.”

“We are excited to bring the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship back and the Bassmaster Team Championship to Lake Hartwell, Green Pond Landing and the city of Anderson,” said Jon Stewart, B.A.S.S. Nation director and Team Championship tournament director. “They always roll out the carpet for B.A.S.S. when we come.

“And Hartwell is a fantastic fishery. I am excited to go back. They both should be very exciting events with lots of bass caught. I am pretty sure that Lake Hartwell with be the only lake in the history of B.A.S.S. that will singularly be responsible for sending four anglers to the Bassmaster classic in the same year! That’s pretty cool!”

The top boater and nonboater from each state competing in one of three regional championships will fish the National Championship, along with qualifiers from 11 foreign nations with affiliated B.A.S.S. Nation organizations. The Top 3 finishers from the Nation Championship will earn a spot in the 50th Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK'S Sporting Goods, to be held March 6-8 in Birmingham, Ala., with fishing on Lake Guntersville, as will the winner of the Team Championship Classic Fishoff competition.

The overall winner of the Nation Championship will receive an invitation to fish the 2020 Bassmaster Elite Series. Two current Bassmaster Elite Series pros qualified for the top tier of professional bass fishing through the Nation Champions, Caleb Sumrall in 2017 and Randall Pierson in 2018.

The Team Championship comprises the top teams from organized tournament trails across the United States, as well as other countries. Teams were fielded this year from Australia, Canada and South Africa, in addition to the U.S. The trails must register with and be sanctioned by B.A.S.S. prior to the start of the season.

The program has grown dramatically since its inception. In 2014, 38 trails signed up. That number grew to 62 trails (with more than 8,000 members) in 2018, when the fifth annual Team Championship event on the Harris Chain of Lakes at Leesburg, Fla., drew 197 two-angler teams.

William Samples of South Boston, Va., and Charles Purcell of Townsville, N.C., won the 2018 national team title with a two-day total of 42 pounds, 10 ounces, and will be able to defend their title at Hartwell.

Kentucky angler Matthew Robertson won the Classic Fish-Off and a berth in the 2019 Classic in Knoxville in March.

“These two grassroots programs provide weekend anglers a chance to prove their remarkable fishing skills on a national stage,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin. “We’re proud to provide that platform because they represent an important part of the foundation of the fishing industry and the sport of bass fishing.”

Both events are hosted by Visit Anderson.

Navionics New SonarChart™ Shading Coming Soon to Platinum+ and HotMaps Platinum

SonarChart Shading is a new chart feature we will be adding to our exclusive Platinum+ and HotMaps Platinum cartography products for coastal and inland fishing and boating.

Embedded within the satellite overlay content layer, SonarChart Shading provides a detailed rendering of the seafloor and lake bottom to deliver a unique perspective of underwater topography at a glance. Created from the high-definition 1’ contour data within SonarChart, varying shades of blue reveal changes in depth, highlighting channels, drop-offs and other features to give you better situational awareness and clear, visual cues to identify fish-holding structure.

SonarChart Shading can be viewed on GPS chartplotters that are compatible with HotMaps Platinum and Platinum+ satellite overlay and with the same options, including selectable overlay on land, land and shallows, or full overlay. Adjustable transparency allows you to view the new imagery blended with either the SonarChart bathymetry map or the nautical chart.

At closer zoom levels, SonarChart Shading is replaced by the actual satellite imagery over water, allowing you to see a bird’s-eye perspective of sandbars, marshes and backwater channels. In addition to SonarChart Shading, Platinum+ and approximately 3,000 lakes within HotMaps Platinum will offer updated and optimized high-resolution satellite imagery. As coverage areas are released, customers who own a Platinum+ or HotMaps Platinum chart with an active subscription will also be able to download the combined satellite overlay and SonarChart™ Shading layer for their region via the Chart Installer.

We expect to release SonarChart Shading starting in mid- spring with HotMaps Platinum for U.S. and Canada. Coastal coverage will follow with updated Platinum+ marine charts for U.S., Europe, Canada and Central America, then South America and Australia by midsummer 2019. Availability for other regions is expected by Q4 2019.

Lithium Pros Signs Battery Sponsorship With MLF Bass Pro Tour

TULSA, Okla. (April 26, 2019) - Major League Fishing® announced today that Lithium Pros, a United States manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, has signed on as a sponsor of the MLF Bass Pro Tour for 2019.

The company brings a history of advanced lithium-ion technology proven in automotive racing circles to competitive bass fishing, a place where battery weight, power, durability and recharge time is arguably even more important.

"While pro anglers' thoughts are about adding pounds to their catches, ours are about taking pounds off of boats and giving fishermen total confidence that they have all the battery power they need aboard to run their boats, electronics and trolling motors without a second thought," said Kevin Bennett, Lithium Products president. "The Bass Pro Tour's popularity and wide audience appeal give us a great place to showcase Lithium Pros' advantages for all who spend long, full days of fishing."


	Batteries get a workout on today's bass boats during competitions. MLF's Andy Morgan, winner of the recent Bass Pro Tour Stage Four event, is among the nearly one-fourth of the Bass Pro Tour anglers who rely on the lightweight, long-lasting Lithium Pros' batteries to power their boats, trolling motors and electronics.

"The MLF format relies on and thrives on technological advancements, so we certainly appreciate what Lithium Pros brings to the table in that respect," said MLF President and CEO Jim Wilburn. "We're pleased to have them as part of the exciting 2019 Bass Pro Tour season."

Lithium Pros batteries weigh about one-third that of lead-acid batteries. Plus, they have a higher terminal voltage, a very flat discharge curve in deep cycle models (which translates into a super strong all-day charge), and recharge five times faster. Also, Lithium Pros are fully sealed, which makes them maintenance free.

The Knoxville-based manufacturer has marketing relationships with some of pro bass fishing's most successful anglers, including fellow East Tennesseans Ott DeFoe and Andy Morgan. Among their most recent accomplishments, DeFoe won the 2019 Bassmaster Classic in March, and Morgan claimed top honors at the MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Four event earlier this month.

Lithium Pros also has other sponsored anglers and MLF pros relying on their batteries to power their way through the rigors of competitive bass fishing.

Outdoor Channel announced earlier this week that the Major League Fishing "Cups" and "All Angles" programming topped the ratings list of the network's best-performing shows in the first quarter of 2019. The two ranked as the Top 2 programs on Outdoor Channel during Q1 2019 with households, total viewers and men 25-54.

The impressive audience ratings delivery during the first quarter of 2019 was MLF's best ever quarter.

Major League Fishing programming also airs on airs on World Fishing Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network and Discovery Channel.

DAY TWO OF COMPETITION CANCELED AT COSTA FLW SERIES AT SANTEE COOPER DUE TO WIND

Advisory for Friday, April 26, 2019 from FLW

WHAT: Day Two of the Costa FLW Series event on Santee Cooper presented by Power-Pole has been canceled due to strong winds. The event started Thursday, the third and final regular-season stop in the Southeastern Division.

WHERE: Costa FLW Series at Santee Cooper presented by Power-Pole

John C. Land III Landing

4404 Greenall Road

Summerton, S.C.

NOTES:

April 26, 2019 by Sean Ostruszka

Santee Cooper and wind do not go together well. Hence, the decision to cancel day two of the Costa FLW Series Southeastern Division event, presented by Power-Pole.

“We have a threat of a west-southwest wind of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 30 or 40 mph,” says Tournament Director Mark McWha. “Santee Cooper has some wide-open areas on both lakes, and it’s easy to get 5- and 6-foot rollers on it real quick.

“Because of that, we’ve made the decision to cancel today to ensure the safety of our anglers.”

McWha cited years of history hosting tournaments on Santee Cooper – and seeing just how rough it can get – as critical in his final decision.

Meanwhile, for anglers, the decision was seen as the right one.

“I think it’s a good decision, safety-wise,” says day-one leader and local Bradford Beavers. “A lot of guys don’t know how to run this lake, and it can be hard to run right because of all the stumps even when it’s not rough. So if they’re calling for 20 mph, this lake will be dangerous.”

With today canceled, the entire field will fish Saturday, with a champion crowned after the day based on total cumulative weight.

Bryan College Takes The First-Round Lead In Bassmaster College Series Tournament On Bull Shoals

April 25, 2019

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. — After a slow, dark morning, things brightened quickly for Cole Sands and Conner Dimauro of Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn.

With only four small bass by late morning, the team found a key stretch of water today that helped them total 19 pounds, 4 ounces and take the Day 1 lead at the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops at Bull Shoals Lake.

In second place are Will Andrie and Gaige Blanton of Kansas State University with 18-0. Taylor Hamburger and Tristen Turley of Oklahoma State University are third with 17-6. The 199 teams brought 2,458 pounds of fish to the scales on a rainy day.

“We had an unbelievable practice,” Sands said. “Good bags on this lake are 15 to 18 pounds. We got here Tuesday around noon for the first day of practice and our best five went about 21 pounds. We were trying not to catch them.

“Today, we started off in a couple areas where we saw some good fish, and it was slow to start with. We only had one by 10 a.m., then pieced together four keepers for about 10 pounds. Then at around 11, we went down one bank and caught six keepers.”

That seemed to open the floodgates to go to their bigger fish. The team culled up to around 16 pounds and then decided to try for one of the largest bedding fish they had marked in practice. Dimauro caught the 4-pounder within three minutes of getting to the spot at around 2 p.m.

Confident their 17-plus bag would put them in contention, they went looking for more fish in other pockets.

“It was our last cast, and Conner flips a bait in the bush and sets the hook on a 4 ½-pounder. It was the biggest fish of the day,” Sands said.

“Obviously, conditions today were different from practice; it was overcast with a little bit of chop from the wind and rain, but we threw some baits in areas that we knew there would be a lot of fish in,” said Dimauro, noting their fruitful practice. “We were seeing a lot of fish. The water here is incredibly clear.

“It was harder to sight fish for them today, but we knew they were there. We were able to catch some of those fish we had been seeing. There are empty beds everywhere. I’d say that for every five beds we saw, one of them might have a fish still on it.”

The Kansas State team said practice clued them in on what the fish were doing, but they pretty much just “went fishing.”

“We had about 10 or 12 spots we picked out from practice and just ran a rotation,” Andrie said. “We fished anything that would look good. If they were there, they were there.”

The team caught a limit in the first 20 minutes and then upgraded by ounces until they caught two of their 4-pound class fish in the afternoon.

“We had one key bite to fill our limit in the morning,” Blanton said. “Then we upgraded by ounces for about three hours. Then with 30 minutes to go, we had two really key bites (4-pounders). The afternoon is when we got our bigger bites.”

Conditions will change for Day 2, with the forecast calling for sunny skies and temperatures climbing from a morning low near 50 to the lower 70s by afternoon. Dimauro believes his team needs about 15 pounds to make Saturday’s championship.

“It’s going to be completely different conditions tomorrow, but it will be like the days we had in practice,” he said.

“We’re confident we can key something together — just kind of roll with it and keep the same game plan. We know we’re going to be around some fish, but we’ll just have to figure out what they want each day. We saved quite a few fish. We have several on bed that we want to hit.”

And they know that even with another slow start, they have to keep their heads in the game because the bite can turn on like it did today.

“No matter where we’re sitting, we know it can all happen so fast,” Dimauro said.

The big bass of the day were 5-9 bass landed by the Blue Mountain College team of Isaac Duncan and Fisher Young and Luke Mason and Justin Lane of the University of North Alabama. Duncan and Young are seventh with a total of 16-9, while the UNA team is 77th with 13-8.

It was a good day for many of the of teams, 13 of which brought in more than 16 pounds. There were 15 teams topping 15 pounds and another 30 teams that caught more than 14 pounds. There were 173 limits.

The teams will again launch from Bull Shoals Boat Dock at 6:30 a.m. CT, and the weigh-in there will begin at 2:30 p.m. The Top 12 teams advance to fish on Saturday, and the Top 20 teams will qualify for the College National Championship, with the end prize one berth to the 2020 Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods after a College Bracket fishoff.

April 25, 2019
JASPER, Ala. — Jordan Wiggins experienced what he called “a magical day” in taking the lead at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Open on Smith Lake.

Wiggins, of Cullman, Ala., caught a five-bass limit weighing 17 pounds, 8 ounces. Just 5 ounces behind him is John Cox of Debary, Fla., with 17-3 and David Williams of Newton, N.C., is third with 15-11. Wes Logan of Springville, Ala., and Griffin Phillips of Mount Olive, Ala., are tied for fourth with 15 pounds.

Experiencing a magical day is a big statement from an angler who calls the 21,000-acre northern Alabama fishery his home lake. Wiggins, a top local tournament angler, indeed had a magical day, considering his achievements on Thursday.

He caught a mixed heavyweight bag of spotted bass and largemouth. That is a trick to do given the nomadic nature of both species on this lake. The postspawn largemouth are moving back to deep water, and recent high water has those fish spread out and challenging to track down. The spotted bass, also in the postspawn phase, are searching for food after the stresses of spawning.

Wiggins worked his magic in the same spot. That is another mismatch given the prevailing conditions. That spot was a pocket located off the main lake with the strike zone from 1 to 10 feet of water. And finally, the 17-pound mixed bag was swimming inside his livewell by noon, only midway into the competition day.

Can he work the magic again Friday?

“I should be able to because it’s how we fish here this time of year,” he said. “It’s not that uncommon to catch what I did, but to do it so quickly and exactly from the same area, that’s not so common.”

Wiggins said the magic continued with the appearance of the largemouth, which he had not seen during practice. Those bonus fish added to his weight and gave promise that he can leverage both species to his advantage.

“The changing weather, cloudy skies and rain helped make them start moving again,” he explained. “I feel good about catching another mixed bag on Friday and again on Saturday.”

Cox ran a “junk fishing” pattern, choosing his lures and techniques based on the area where he fished at the time. Today’s success required covering a lot of water, rotating through lures and picking apart any bass cover he encountered along the way.

“I went through a lot of numbers to catch the quality,” said Cox. “I have figured out something for Friday.”

That is good news considering his track record here.

“I have yet to do the same thing on this lake for two days in a row,” he admitted. “I find something one day and it changes the next.”

Cox added he plans to continue covering water to build on his success of today. What he does know is the weather will change again Friday, and so will the patterns. The forecast calls for clearing skies and warmer temperatures after the rainfall clouded the skies on Thursday.

The full field of 185 boats with a pros and co-anglers are fishing through Friday. On Saturday, only the Top 12 anglers from each division compete. The $63,000 cash purse will be divided between the winners, with $37,000 for the top pro and $18,000 for the co-angler.

Leading the co-angler division is Jonathan Barnette with 12-1. Barnette, a Jasper resident, fished today with second-place pro angler John Cox. David Vogelpohl of Cambridge, Minn., is second with 9-8, while Xeng Lee of Onalaska, Wis., is third with 8-9. Cameron Naquin of Gray, La., holds down fourth place with 8-4, and Chandler Sickafoose is fifth with 8-2.

Contingency awards sweeten the pot with the Phoenix Big Bass of the tournament paying $750 to the pro and $250 for the co-angler. The Berkley Cast for Cash bait contingency program will pay bonus cash to the Top 2 anglers in each division. The pros get $1,500 and $1,000, while $250 and $100 go to the co-anglers.

Stacy King of Reeds Spring, Mo., leads the big bass competition in the pro division with his catch weighing 5-11. The bass weighing 5-8 caught by Vogelpohl leads the co-angler side.

Daily takeoffs begin at 6 a.m. CT from Smith Lake Dam Access. The Friday weigh-in begins there at 2 p.m. The final weigh-in on Saturday is at 3:30 p.m. at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Leeds, a suburb of Birmingham.

Local host is the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County.

BEAVERS BLASTS 31 ON SANTEE

April 25, 2019

by Sean Ostruszka - Courtesy of FLW Fishing

Everyone figured someone was going to bring in a 30-pound bag. Bradford Beavers proved them right.

Despite Santee Cooper being a little stingier than it was a year ago, the FLW Tour rookie and local once again showed off the lake’s potential when he dropped 31 pounds, 2 ounces to take the day-one lead in the Costa FLW Series Southeastern Division event, presented by Power-Pole. While no lead is safe on a fishery like Santee, Beavers will at least have a solid 5-pound cushion over second-place pro Todd Olds heading into Friday.

“The potential is always there [for a 30-pound bag on Santee Cooper],” Beavers says. “There’s 30-pound stringers swimming everywhere.”

Beavers would know. If you can believe it, this is actually the third time he’s cracked the 30-pound barrier in a tournament on his home lake. In fact, his 31-2 bag wasn’t even his biggest in a Southeastern Division event, as he cracked 32 pounds on the second day of his very first Costa event back in 2014.

Of course, that 2014 tournament also showcased what he and many other locals know about Santee Cooper, in that this lake can humble an angler quick. Case in point: Beavers actually zeroed on day three of that 2014 event.

Beavers certainly doesn’t seem destined to do that in this event, though.

Relying on more than 20 years of history and a few secrets – Beavers says Santee Cooper is one of the few lakes left in the country where you can have secrets – the South Carolina pro managed to methodically put together his giant stringer.

While most anglers committed themselves to Marion or Moultrie, Beavers says he fished both because he “always fishes both, just to check if one is better than the other on any day.” Today, they both fired for him.

Understandably, the already-secretive Beavers was extra tight-lipped on what he’s doing, pattern-wise. But, he did say while he’s doing a similar pattern in both lakes, he’s doing it in different locations, as he feels the fish on the two lakes are in different stages.

“There’s only one person who knows what I’m doing, and that’s my dad,” Beavers says. “He’s the only one who will ever know.”

Of course, Beavers admits as strong as his pattern and game plan is, it may not matter come tomorrow.

The forecast is calling for thunderstorms and significant winds; significant enough to put day two in jeopardy of being canceled, as Santee Cooper has a history of getting dangerous in a hurry with any sort of wind.

If the anglers do go out, Beavers figures he’ll have to see just how strong the wind and waves are and determine a game plan on the fly.

“I’m going to have to adapt,” Beavers says. “We all will. Fortunately, it’s not so much the area for me as the technique. So as long as I can find some protected stuff I should be fine. I just have to be able to get to it.”

TNT Fireworks Sponsors B.A.S.S. High School, College And Grass-Roots Fishing Series

April 24, 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — TNT Fireworks, the nation’s largest distributor of consumer fireworks, has signed on to sponsor B.A.S.S. high school and college fishing programs and become the title sponsor of the organization’s grass-roots angler events, the TNT B.A.S.S. Nation Series.

“TNT Fireworks, like B.A.S.S., has been the leader in its field for more than 50 years, and we’re proud to be associated with the company,” said Bruce Akin. “The B.A.S.S. Nation members are so influential on behalf of conservation, angler access and youth recruitment at the state and local levels, and they are loyal to the companies and brands that support their efforts. We are also glad to have TNT’s support for high school and college competitions, which are ensuring a healthy future for our sport.”

“We are excited to further our partnership with B.A.S.S. and support the High School, College, and B.A.S.S. Nation programs,” said John Propst, TNT vice president. "These programs do an outstanding job of carrying on the passion and enthusiasm for bass fishing through their conservation efforts and youth involvement. We believe that many of our customers at TNT share the same passion for the outdoors and carrying on traditions. We also hope that we can help the many fishing clubs and teams raise money for their sport through our fundraising program.”

The B.A.S.S Nation, a 50-plus year-old global network of B.A.S.S.-affiliated bass clubs, is active in 47 states and 11 foreign countries, including Australia, (Ontario) Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Namibia, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Zimbabwe.

TNT is the title sponsor of three B.A.S.S. Nation Regional Championship bass tournaments this year and the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship. The regionals kicked off April 17-19 with the TNT B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional on Lake Guntersville at Guntersville, Ala. The TNT B.A.S.S. Nation Western Regional will take place on Lake Shasta at Redding, Calif., May 8-10. And the TNT B.A.S.S. Nation Eastern Regional will be held on Sebago Lake at Point Sebago, Maine, Sept. 11-13.

The top boater and nonboater from each state in those regional fish-offs will qualify for the national championship at Lake Hartwell, S.C., Nov. 6-8. The Top 3 grass-roots competitors in the TNT B.A.S.S. Nation Championship qualify for the 2020 Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.

TNT is also sponsoring the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops and the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Series presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.

The College Series offers collegiate anglers four Tour events culminating in the College Series National Championship, which crowns the top college team in the nation, and the College Classic Bracket event, which sends one college angler to the Classic. The High School circuit consists of four regional High School Opens and a national championship.

As a sponsor of the events, TNT is entitled to exhibit space and fan activation opportunities at Nation, College and High School events, as well as the Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest at Lake Fork at Emory, Texas, and the Bassmaster Elite at Lake Guntersville out of Scottsboro, Ala. In addition, TNT was an exhibitor at the recent Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods in Knoxville, Tenn.

Hunt and Williams Take Red River Win in ABA BPS 150 Series

ATHENS, AL – Under clear skies and great fishing weather the Bass Pro Shops 150 Series held the first of four events on Saturday, April 20, 2019 on the Red River in Bossier City, LA.

The Red River showed itself in full force by rising over 7 feet this past week, but persistence and patience by the top 3 teams found themselves fighting it out for the winning position. When the smoke cleared the team of Trent Hunt from Haughton, LA and Cory Williams of Doyline, LA sat at the top of the leaderboard with 14.85 lbs with only a 2 ounce lead good for 1st place and took home the Tracker Pro Team 175XTE Tournament Edition Boat with a 75hp Mercury 4/Stroke Motor. In total this tournament paid back over 100% with a total prize purse over $30,000.00!

“We had spent a lot of time on the river the past week and I found a frog bite that was working really well in the back of an oxbow not far from here. I went out there a couple times to check on the fish and they were still there even with the rising water so this morning we went in and just put our heads down. The first bite of the morning was a good fish, but I didn’t get a good hook set and she came off. I caught the second one and from then on it stayed pretty consistent. We managed to catch about 18 fish throughout the day and culled a few times to get the weight we had. There were 2 main spots we went to, and both of them held the fish so we just caught as many as we could and were lucky enough to hold it off. This tournament was a great format and a lot of fun. We are both so excited to have fished it and won, and this is the biggest thing we have ever done as a team. What a day!” Said the team of Hunt and Williams.

Coming in a very close 2nd was the team of Mike Quinlin from Mooresville, IN and Lewis Mallory from Martinsville, IN with a 5 fish limit weighing 14.75 lbs, just 1 ounce off the lead. “We caught most of our fish flipping and pitching up here in pool 5 in McDade Lake off of the main river. It holds some cleaner water even when the river gets high and muddy like this and most of the time it’s also where the majority of the boats go. We caught enough to cull 8 or 9 times and had 20 keepers staying with the same pattern. The bite slowed down a lot and the last 2 hours of the day we may have caught a couple but that was all. Conditions were near identical to the 2018 Ray Scott Championship that I fished with the water height and color. I love coming down here. It’s a different style of fishing than we have back home and it’s also a lot warmer! This was a great tournament and we had a really good time.” Said Mike and Lewis.

Finishing in 3rd place was the Father and Son team of Don and Shane Williams, both natives of the Bossier City/Shreveport area with a 5 fish limit of 14.70 lbs, less than 2 ounces from the leaders.
Rounding out the top 5 in 4th place was Carl Broussard of Converse, LA and Randall Morgan of Rusk, TX with a 5 fish limit of 14.44 lbs, and 5th place was Sam Huckabee of Shreveport, LA and John Barrera of Milam, TX with a 5 fish limit of 12.54 lbs. Big bass of the event went to Billy Graves of Montgomery, LA and Micah Murrell of Dry Prong, LA weighing in at 4.97 lbs.

The 150 Series Championship qualifiers at this event will be the top 20 teams by place of finish to be held on Table Rock Lake in September. The winning team at the Championship will be awarded two (2) Tracker Pro Team 195 XTE Tournament Edition Boats with 150hp Mercury Marine 4/stroke Motors.

The Bass Pro Shops 150 Series is designed to provide anglers who have a bass rig with a 150hp and below the opportunity to compete against equally powered boats.

The Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission, Red River Waterway Commission and the Bass Pro Shop in Bossier City, LA hosted the event by providing dinner for all anglers.

Swindle says you only need three colors of crankbaits

Alan McGuckin - Dynamic Sponsorships

Modern day crankbaits come in a vast array of impressive color options that can cause a heap of mental perplexity and a badly overstuffed tackle tray. But bass fishing’s funniest man, Gerald Swindle, offers a comforting dose of simple advice, stating that you really only need three basic colors: red craw, shad, and firetiger.

“We all make it harder than it has to be, but choosing crankbait colors should really just be a seasonal-based deal. You’re not trying to collect every color they make. There’s no need to go broke trying to buy every shade they stock on a retail peg, but make sure you can afford these three,” says Swindle.

Red Craw

“This is your early winter through early spring color. Anytime the water temp is 42 to 56, I’m generally throwing a shade of red craw. You can be sure this color will put you in the ballpark of success anytime the water’s cold,” says the 2-time Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year.

Shad

“When the water temps hit 58 or 59, that’s when I generally see bass get off the red craw pattern and dial in on shad colors. It makes sense, because once the water warms, shad get shallower. But even in the heat of summer, if you’re fishing out deep, shad are probably the primary food for bass,” he says.

Firetiger

“Firetiger is my bullpen pitcher. I put him in the game anytime the water is heavily stained, and he stands a chance to play just about any month of the year. He’s kind of the wildcard among the three colors, but he can also be the most consistent if the water is off colored or dirty no matter the season,” concludes Swindle.

Swindle’s rod, reel, line for most cranking situations:Aside from ultra deep cranking, most of the time Swindle cranks with a Quantum 7-foot medium action rod, and a Quantum Smoke S3 6.1:1 gear ratio reel spooled with 10-pound Sunline Shooter fluorocarbon line.

Subscribe to Swindle’s simple theory on crankbait colors, and you’re sure to save a little money on tackle, spare yourself some mental angst, and catch a few more bass through a confidently refined approach to your crankbait game.

Birmingham, Lake Guntersville To Host Historic 2020 Bassmaster Classic

April 22, 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The 50th Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods will come home to its Alabama roots in 2020. The world championship bass tournament will be held in Birmingham, Ala., with fishing competition taking place on Lake Guntersville in Guntersville, Ala., B.A.S.S. announced today.

The iconic fishing tournament will be held March 6-8, with daily weigh-ins and the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo taking place in the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) in downtown Birmingham, B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin said during a press conference Monday afternoon at the BJCC.

“It’s fitting that the golden anniversary Classic be held in Alabama, where B.A.S.S. was founded more than 50 years ago,” Akin said. “Our plans are to make this the most spectacular celebration of bass fishing in history.

“Throughout the current Bassmaster Elite Series tournament season, we are celebrating ‘The Year of the Fan’ — our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the millions of bass fishing fans who make this sport so great. The celebration will culminate at the Classic here in Birmingham.”

The Classic was first held at Lake Mead, Nevada, in October 1971. The tournament was the brainchild of B.A.S.S. founder Ray Scott, who wanted a way to determine an ultimate champion at the end of every tournament season. It has since been held in Alabama 12 times, eight of those in Birmingham.

“We are so proud to once again host the Bassmaster Classic, the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing,” said Birmingham Mayor Randall L. Woodfin. “We look forward to the great competition the Classic attracts and the dedicated fans who will gather in Birmingham for this incredible event. While in the region, we invite everyone to experience the inspirational history, legendary food and world class entertainment which make us the Magic City.”

“We are thrilled that the Bassmaster Classic will be returning to the Birmingham region once again,” said John Oros, president and CEO of the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau. “This event is the pinnacle of professional bass fishing and it attracts the greatest anglers in the world. The tournament reinforces the fact that the Birmingham area is a great professional and amateur sports destination. We expect that the economic impact of the event will equal or exceed the $32 million spent in hotels, restaurants, attractions and retailers this past year in Knoxville, Tenn.”

Twice previously — in 1976 and 2014 — fishing has taken place on Lake Guntersville, which has become synonymous with bass fishing greatness over the past half-century.

“We are excited that Lake Guntersville has been chosen to be the fishery for this anniversary Classic,” said Katy Norton, president of Marshall County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The interest the Classic generates has positive impact for months, even years following the tournament, and we expect Lake Guntersville will be at the top of the list for anglers and B.A.S.S. fans to visit following next spring’s competition. We look forward to the tournament and to continuing our partnership with B.A.S.S.”

The inaugural event in Nevada, which was won by Arkansas angler Bobby Murray, featured a 24-angler field and a winner-take-all format with a $10,000 prize. None of the anglers knew the location ahead of time, and they all fished with identical boats and motors.

Much has changed since then — especially the payout, which is now a whopping $1 million for a 53-angler field with $300,000 going to the winner. The winner also adds his name to the most prestigious list in bass fishing.

“The Classic is literally a life-changing event for the angler who wins,” said B.A.S.S. Director Chase Anderson. “It exemplifies what Bassmaster competition stands for: ‘Big Bass. Big Stage. Big Dreams.’ It honors the angler who can catch the biggest bass of the week, and weigh them on the biggest stage in bass fishing, and fulfill the biggest dream any angler can have. No title in professional fishing holds the same clout as ‘Classic champion.’”

It’s hard to imagine a more fitting spot for the 50th renewal of the event than Lake Guntersville, which has hosted 22 major B.A.S.S. events.

The 68,000-acre Tennessee River fishery, which is a popular destination for bass fishing enthusiasts from across the country, will also play host to a regular-season Bassmaster Elite Series tournament June 21-24. That 23rd major B.A.S.S. event will make Guntersville the second-most visited lake in B.A.S.S. history, behind only Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas.

Weigh-ins and the Classic Expo will be held 75 miles away at the BJCC — and recent history says they’ll be plenty busy.

The 2018 Classic attracted 143,323 fans to all activities, including the Get Hooked on Fishing activity center, morning takeoffs, weigh-ins and the Expo. That was an all-time record until this year’s event on the Tennessee River in Knoxville drew 153,809.

The Classic will be covered live and streamed on Bassmaster.com, ESPN3 and the ESPN App, and five hours of original programming will be aired on ESPN2 and the Pursuit Channel following the event. In addition, the Classic annually draws more than 250 credentialed media. The 2019 Classic was covered by journalists from 28 states as well as Japan, China, Australia, Italy, Germany and Canada.

SEAGUAR INVIZX NOW AVAILABLEIN VERSATILE 600 YARD SPOOL

Compact, convenient, easy and economical new spool for anglers

Louisville, KY (April 22, 2019) - When it comes to choosing fishing line, hordes of anglers—including numerous pros—turn to Seaguar’s InvizX, a 100% fluorocarbon that’s great for casting, all-around use, as well as segmentation as a reliable leader material. It works extremely well as the main line on spinning reels and in higher pound test on baitcasting reels. It’s soft, supple and very castable with superior sensitivity. Part of the reason so many anglers turn to it as their primary choice in fluorocarbon is also because it’s virtually invisible yet has advanced hook-setting power, casts smooth and exhibits superior knot strength.

Previously only available in 200- and bulk 1000-yard spools, Seaguar is proud to announce the popular line is now available in a versatile 600 yard spool that you can take anywhere. This new spool is the perfect size to fit in a boat cup holder, a glove compartment in a boat, a fanny pack, smaller watercraft including kayaks, a tackle box, etc. It’s considerably smaller than a bulk 1000-yard spool and also more economical than purchasing three 200-yard spools. Ultimately, the 600 yard spool size is compact, convenient, and always at the ready.

Many anglers have already taken to the unique 600 yard format, including bass pros Aaron Britt and Keith Combs.

“Most of the time large spools of line are incredibly bulky and take up a lot of room. Not the new 600 yard InvizX spool. You could be a bank fisherman, a kayak angler, a small boat fisherman and put the spool virtually anywhere. A lot of anglers running the banks are using backpacks, fanny packs, smaller tackle boxes, etc. and the spool size is perfect for that. Not only does the spool fit into most places but you’re fishing with the best line in the world. It’s hard to argue that it’s the best bite for your buck considering you could roll up about six reels from one 600 yard spool versus separate 200 yard spools. Not only do you get more line on a 600 yard spool, you save money,” says FLW pro Aaron Britt.

He continues: “I keep one in the center console of my boat, which is very, very small. It fits a marker buoy, and some sunscreen, but also fits my 600 yard spool for quick and easy access. I love InvizX. It’s smooth, casts brilliantly, there’s not a whole lot of memory, and there’s just enough stretch. There’s not a lot of stretch but just enough that I feel comfortable setting the hook hard on any bait that I throw. It’s also a universal line. You can use it on spinning and baitcasting reels, as great leader material—it’s just overall the best line on the planet. I have the utmost confidence in it and spool all my reels with it.”

B.A.S.S. Elite pro Keith Combs agrees: “The 600 yard spool is the perfect size to fit into places that might have been wasted space in your boat. And For kayak fishing it’s great because you’re limited with space there, too. The other thing, it seems like there’s always some wasted line at the end of a 200 yard spool and a 1000 yard spool takes you forever to use; not with the new 600 yard spool—it’s the all-around perfect format.”

Combs has been a diehard user of InvizX for years and says he just appreciates its all-around performance besides the new economical and versatile 600 yard spool format.

“It’s an awesome all-purpose line. Seaguar has a lot of really good specialty lines and I use their Flippin’ line sometimes, their Finesse line on occasion, but InvizX is just kind of like if you’re going to stock up on your basic line sizes—your 12, 15, 20—InvizX is simply the most versatile line I’ve ever used. It holds up under all conditions and it’s good for anything. With that, I really appreciate the simplicity of saying I’m going to get a 600 spool of 15 lb. InvizX and wind up a bunch of my reels.

The performance is just incredible. There’s very little memory even when it’s extremely cold and it’s a supple line. A lot of my fishing is long casting offshore fishing and it’s great for that—it’s strong, it’s sensitive, but I can make really long casts because it’s very limp and extremely castable. But I can also use the same line to go flip laydowns. It handles it all.”

Seaguar InvizX is available in line tests of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 20 lbs, in the new 600 yard spool format.

Confidence Baits

Luke Estel - Tournament Team Blogger

What’s your favorite bait to throw?

It may be a shakey head worm, a small crankbait, or even a spinnerbait, but you have one lure that you always have tied on. The reason these are confidence baits are obvious, you catch fish on them.

I have two confidence baits.

No matter what time of year or what lake I am on, I have these two baits tied on. The first is a frog and the other is a swim jig.

Years ago one of my mentors, Keith Gale and my Uncle were fishing a tournament on a river. They weren’t doing very good and had only a few bites. As the day wore on, Keith told my Uncle that if fishing was this tough, that he might as well throw something he likes to fish with. That just happened to be a black Lunker Lure buzzbait. The original. Not long after he started throwing it, he immediately starting catching fish, and they were big ones. They went from zero to hero real quick, just because Keith decided to throw his confidence bait.

Another time my partner Chopper and I were fishing our home lake. It was summer and the deep brush pile bite was “supposed” to be on. We fished half the day with nothing in our live well. I decided to pick up a swim jig and work the edge of the grass. There was no reason for the fish to be there but we had exhausted all of our deep stuff. I put a clinic on in a matter of hours ultimately cashing a check.

Sometimes we bass fishermen tend to over think what the fish are doing and what we “should” be catching them on. We focus on the lake, the time of year, and the never ending dock talk, when in reality a bass is a bass and just go fishing.

Confidence is a huge part in success.

There have been many examples throughout history of it. Some of the best examples of this are found in our sports we love to watch. For example, watching underdogs upset top teams because they stuck to how they normally play.

Use this confidence to your advantage.

If a fisherman goes into an event with a closed mind, a terrible practice, and a bad attitude, they will never succeed. But the fisherman who thinks outside the box, has a drive to win, and the confidence it takes, he or she will come out on top.

Confidence baits can play a huge part in our success as tournament anglers. Have yours always tied on, and when things get tough, pull it out and start casting. It’s just a bass and it’s just fishing.

Dusty Jordan and Alex Bowdoin Win 2019 Alabama Bass Trail Alabama River

by Dan O'Sullivan

April 20, 2019 - Prattville, Ala. - Just when springtime breaks and perfect
conditions begin to arrive, it seems the weather throws bass anglers for a
loop. While the temperatures and rainfall had been stable and light in the
period leading up to the third stop of the Alabama Bass Trail Southern
Division's third stop, it changed drastically the two days prior to the
event.

Heavy rainfall and cooler temperatures greeted anglers during practice on
Thursday and Friday, and with it came a nearly 20-degree drop in
temperatures, and a two foot rise in water level. However difficult those
conditions can be, the team of Dusty Jordan and Alex Bowdoin figured out the
conditions and brought 18.35 pounds to the scales at Cooter's Pond to claim
victory and the $10,000 winner's prize.

They credited Jordan riding with a former Elite Series pro for their win.
"I learned a lot from Ott DeFoe when the Bassmaster Elite Series fished here
last time," said Jordan. "The conditions were very similar, and he put on a
big time clinic in that high water, and we were able to use those tactics
today to win this tournament."

They reported using a pear white 5-inch Berkley Swimbait rigged on a
3/4-ounce head as well as a heavy Shaky Head and NetBait T-Mac worm to catch
their fish. "We were fishing a hump upriver, and caught a 16-pound limit
early, then culled to this weight by early afternoon," they said. "This is
a very special feeling because these are great anglers, and we've wanted a
win like this for a long time. To do it after having a tough practice
round, then making adjustments and having it turn out this way makes it even
better; we're thrilled."

Rob Lee and Steve Winslett have been in this position before - at Cooter's
Pond - having finished second at this same venue in 2018. "We can't feel
anything but good about this outcome, because after the practice we had we
are lucky to have even caught a decent limit," they said. "This is a much
better outcome then we expected, we were just hoping to salvage some points,
this is a big outcome for us." The reported catching all of their fish in
current on a 7-inch green pumpkin chartreuse tail Big Bite Bait Company
Finesse worm on homemade 1/4 and 5/16-ounce Shaky Heads; they earned $5,000
for their performance, along with the $1,000 America's Fist bonus for
financing their boat purchase with America's First Credit Union."

Joe Wickoff and Radney Atchison stayed in Cooter's Pond and caught 17.49
pounds on a 1/2-ounce chartreuse with gold blades Thunder Baits spinnerbait
made by Wickoff. The pair earned $4,000 for their efforts.

Fishing without his partner Kyle Dorsett, and anchored by the 5.34-pound
Mountain Dew Big Bass of the tournament Allen Yarborough, posted a limit
worth 17.42 pounds to finish fourth. He earned $3,000 for his top finish,
and his big bass earned the $500 bonus for being the heaviest fish of the
tournament.

The Southern Division of the Alabama Bass Trail hits the water next at the
Lay Lake on May 18.

Texas' James Biggs Seals The Win In B.A.S.S. Nation Regional On Guntersville

Texas angler James Biggs wins the 2019 TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional with a three-day total weight of 70 pounds, 2 ounces on Lake Guntersville, Alabama.

April 19, 2019

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. — James Biggs could’ve slept in and still won the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional on Lake Guntersville, but instead the Euless, Texas boater caught a five-bass limit of 19 pounds, 9 ounces and slammed the door on a dominant wire-to-wire victory with a three-day total of 70-2.

After taking the Day 1 lead with 25-4, Biggs entered the second day with a margin of 2-12. Adding 25-5 — the event’s heaviest catch — increased his lead to 16-7. In the final round, second-place boater Jeremy Montgomery’s tournament total of 49-7 fell a pound and 2 ounces shy of Biggs’ combined weight from the first two days.

Adding his final day’s catch gave Biggs a winning margin of 20-11. Notably, that margin was more weight than anyone except Montgomery caught on Day 1.

Biggs said he intentionally built his weight as high as possible — even at the risk of fishing out his spot — because he knew the warm, mostly sunny conditions prevalent during the first two days would yield to the approaching cold front. After a rainy night, Day 3 brought a significant temperature drop, with big winds starting around mid morning. Getting his work done early was essential, Biggs said.

“Today went pretty well and I had almost 20 pounds by about 10 o’clock,” he said. “I actually got off the spot and gave it to my buddy to try to win the co-angler side. His boater wasn’t on fish, so I gave him that spot.

“I got closer to the ramp and just fished around. My nonboater (Justin Hymel) was able to fill out his limit close to the ramp and pull off the win.”

Fishing the upper end of the lake, near Goose Pond, Biggs caught his Day 3 fish with one of the two techniques he had used the first two days. The swimbait bite he had enjoyed went away in the final round, but his Dialed Baits ArmBreaker stickworm still performed.

Biggs rigged this bait Texas style with a light weight and dragged it along shell bottoms. Presentation pace, he noted, proved to be a key element of his success.

“I was dragging it really slow,” Biggs said. “You move it a foot, let it sit 10-15 seconds and just move it really, really slow.”

Biggs’ performance helped Oklahoma win the state title at this week’s event.

Montgomery’s second-place finish capped a consistent week that saw him take second on Day 1 with 22-8. The boater from Overland Park, Kan., slipped to fourth on Day 2 after missing his limit by one fish and weighing a 10-pound, 7-ounce bag, but made up the ground on Day 3 after catching a limit that went 16-8.

Montgomery caught his fish on a 1/4-ounce shaky head with a green pumpkin Zoom Magnum Finesse Worm. He said the final round weather didn’t affect him because most of his action came before the windy conditions began.

“I did most of my damage in the morning, right away,” he said. “I took advantage of the calm weather, got on my grassy humps and was able to slow down. I caught two really good quality fish right away, caught two more and then went running around. I got lucky at the end of the day. With 30 minutes to go, I caught another 4-pounder.”

Montgomery said the humps he fished rose 3 to 4 feet, with grass drops in 5 to 7 feet. His most productive presentation was throwing his bait on top of the humps and pulling it down to the grass.

Keith Glasgow of Guin, Ala., finished third with 49-6 after his tie with Louisiana boater Howard Hartley was broken by the heaviest single day catch — in this case, Glasgow’s Day 3 limit of 21-3. Glasgow, who made a big comeback from 64th on Day 1, got the ball rolling quickly on the final day and then focused on upgrading.

“I started off shallow on a shad spawn and caught a decent limit on a ChatterBait and a Carolina rig,” he said. “After that, I started fishing ledges in about 14 feet in the mouths of spawning pockets with Strike King 6XD, 8XD and 10 XD and a Carolina rig with a Zoom Magnum Finesse Worm. That’s the first place they move when they come off the beds.”

Josh Hilton of Clarksville, Ark., won the Phoenix Boats Big Bass award with his 8-12.

Justin Hymel of Norco, La., won the nonboater division with 32-10. After tying for third on Day 1 with 11-15, Hymel added 9-2 in the second round and took the lead. He sealed the deal on Day 3 with a three-bass limit that weighed 11-9.

“Yesterday, I didn’t catch my last keeper until 10 minutes left to fish; today, I caught my last keeper about 30 minutes before check in,” Hymel said of his down-to-the-wire win. “Keep your head in it every time. You never know, so don’t give up.”

The first two days of the event, Hymel caught most of his fish on a wacky-rigged stickworm. Today, he caught one of his keepers on a Texas-rigged Missile Baits Baby D Stroyer, one on a Texas-rigged Dialed Baits ArmBreaker and his third on a wacky-rigged ArmBreaker.

Lacson Reid of Eclectic, Ala., won the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among nonboaters with an 8-0.

The top boater and top nonboater from each competing state advances to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on Lake Hartwell, November 6-8.

Oklahoma Claims Team Title In B.A.S.S Nation Regional Bass Tournament On Lake Guntersville

April 17, 2019GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. — Oklahoma won the team title of the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional on Lake Guntersville today after posting a combined, two-day score of 365 pounds, 4 ounces and amassing a 30-pound lead over runnerup and host state team Alabama, which weighed in 335 pounds.

The weights include the combined catches of up to 10 boaters and 10 non-boaters from each state. A total of 19 states sent teams to the Central Regional at Guntersville.

Louisiana finished third with 325-5, Ohio was fourth with 318-4 and Wisconsin claimed fifth with 300-9.

Oklahoma was helped mightily by the lone Texas resident on the team, James Biggs of Euless. Biggs caught nearly identical five-bass limits — the two heaviest individual catches of the tournament — on Wednesday and today, and he leads the individual competition with 50-9.

Biggs’ game plan was based as much on weather preparation as it was on fishing strategies, and he worked both to perfection today. He caught a five-bass limit that weighed 25-5 today, giving him a huge 16-7 lead over his nearest competitor.

Biggs said he worked his spots for all they were worth in anticipation of a fierce weather system headed for Guntersville, he wasn’t taking any chances.

“With the weather getting bad — we’re supposed to have torrential rains tonight and thunderstorms — I wanted to catch as much as I could today, so I don’t have to catch as much tomorrow,” Biggs said. “If it muddies up, it can change things enough to where they don’t bite tomorrow. That’s why I wanted to get what I could today, so maybe I only have to catch 15 pounds tomorrow.

“I wanted to have more weight in my bag than the second-place angler had yesterday. I said ‘I’m going to fish until I get at least 23 pounds (Jeremy Montgomery placed second on Wednesday with 22-8) and try to make it hard on them. With this stormy weather, sometimes those big (female bass) will bite, but you just have to play the odds, and that’s what I tried to do today.”

Biggs returned to the same tactics he used Wednesday. He fished a mix of bridge habitat and some offshore structure.

“It was more offshore today, but I checked both of them every day and whatever the fish were responding to, that’s what I rolled with,” Biggs said. “It was the same mix of baits as yesterday — a little bit of dragging (plastics), some swimbaiting and a little bit of cranking.

“It was a blessed day. They kept biting and I kept catching them.”

Howard Hartley of Patterson, La. is in second place with 34-2. Adding 15-9 to the 18-9 he caught the first day, Hartley said he was pleased to find the bass doing what he wanted them to do — advancing to the shallow bedding areas.

“Being from south Louisiana, I like to power fish and bed fish,” Hartley said. “I was able to pick up one of my better bass on a bed today, but I also think I have the staging area locked down for prespawners.

“Where I was fishing yesterday and today, they were coming up and heading to the bank; but with that stormy weather tomorrow, if they pull out, I have an idea what I need to do.”

Today, Hartley caught spawning bass on a Texas-rigged Senko, Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver and a Zoom Speed Craw. He caught the prespawn fish on a lipless crankbait and a bladed jig.

Larry Franks Jr. of Wilsonville, Ala., is in third place with 33-3. Gaining one spot from his fourth-place position on Day 1, Franks added 14-6 to his initial limit of 18-13.

“Today was a lot tougher with the boat pressure; there were a lot of people fishing the same area I was in,” Franks said.

Targeting postspawn fish in grass of varying depths, Franks used a mix of reaction baits and plastics. He stuck with two main areas and caught 25 to 30 fish.

Josh Hilton of Clarksville, Ark., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with an 8-12 largemouth.

Justin Hymel of Norco, La., leads the co-angler division with 21-1. Alternating between pitching a Missile Baits Baby D-Stroyer and a wacky-rigged stick bait, he reported struggling most of the day. The grind was highlighted by a late-day surprise.

“I caught my last keeper with like 10 minutes left in the day,” he said. “I got the D-Stroyer hung in a laydown on a bluff. I broke that off and threw a wacky worm in there and caught my last limit fish.”

Lacson Reid of Eclectic, Ala., holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with an 8-pounder.

Friday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6 a.m. CT at Guntersville State Park State park ramp. The weigh-in will be held at Guntersville State Park State at 2:15 p.m.

Teams Tie during the WWBT College Team Series on the Delta

Courtesy of Wild West Bass Trail - John N. Felsher

STOCKTON, Calif. -- In a tight grind on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, better known as the California Delta, the top anglers fishing the Wild West Bass Trail College Team Series tied during the event held April 14, 2019.

Launching out of Ladd’s Marina in Stockton, the team of Tyler Wood and Zion Jerge of De La Salle High School tied with Herbie Leblanc and Tshu Xiong representing the University of California at Merced. Each team brought in five-bass tournament limits weighing 13.38 pounds.

“It was a grind, but we stuck it out and picked up the bites when we needed them,” Wood confirmed. “We burned a lot of fuel looking for fish.”

“We caught fish on varied lures, but it was mainly a soft-plastic bite,” Jerge echoed.

Leblanc and Xiong caught all of their fish on either wacky-rigged Senkos or a Zoom Baby Brush Hogs. They also had to search for their fish, picking up one bass here and another one there, but did get several good bites in one spot.

“We flipped the Senko around brush on the inner weed line and flipped the Baby Brush Hog in the tulies,” Leblanc explained. “We caught our first fish at about 10 a.m. Then we caught two big ones and one more at about 1 p.m. After that, we just grinded it out to get one more bite with 30 minutes to go to get our limit.”

In third place, Austin Crane and Tyler Firebaugh of Chico State University brought in a five-fish limit going 11.34 pounds. They also roamed the lake looking for fish in the shallows.

“We ran history today, fishing spots where we caught fish before,” Firebaugh said. “We’d catch a couple in an area and then go to another area and catch a couple more. We were looking for prespawn bass. All of the keepers came shallow.”

“We didn’t catch a limit until about 1 p.m. and caught our big one about five minutes before we had to quit,” Crane added. “That helped a lot. We caught the big one right on top of a weed line on a swim jig. We found a big one on a bed and tried to catch it for about an hour, but never did.”

The best Wild West Bass Trail College Team Series anglers will compete again in the trail championship to be held later this year at Clear Lake. The largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California and one of the oldest lakes in North America, Clear Lake covers 68 square miles or about 43,500 acres. About 19 miles long and eight miles wide, the lake drops to about 60 feet deep in places. Clear Lake traditionally ranks high among the best bass lakes in the nation.

Bassmaster High School All-American Team Welcomes 12 New Members

Twelve extraordinary high school anglers from across the country have been selected as members of the exclusive 2019 Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. The team will be invited to participate in a special tournament held in conjunction with the Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest benefiting Texas Parks and Wildlife Department which will be held on Lake Fork this May.

April 18, 2019BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Twelve standout high school anglers have been selected as members of the exclusive Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.

“We are proud to welcome an exceptional group of anglers to our 2019 class of High School All-Americans,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “Each year we see competitive applications from across the country, and every one is so impressive. This class is made up of exceptional young fishermen who also excel in academics, conservation initiatives and community service.”

More than 400 applications nominating students in grades 10-12 were submitted from 35 states across the nation. Of these, 62 were chosen as Bassmaster All-State anglers. After reviewing tournament resumes, community service activities and recommendations from coaches and school officials, a panel of judges representing the sportfishing industry, media and conservation groups further narrowed the field to the Top 12 high school anglers in the country.

The team has been invited to participate in a special Bassmaster High School All-American Bass Tournament being held in conjunction with the 2019 Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest benefiting Texas Parks and Wildlife Department event, a fan-favorite festival that will be held May 2-6 on Lake Fork, Texas. Each All-American angler will be paired with an Elite Series pro for the one-day derby to be held on a nearby fishery.

Congratulations to the following student athletes for being named to the 2019 Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. Following are short biographies of the 2019 team members, listed alphabetically. (Judges only considered tournament records for the past 12 months.)

Tyler Cory, Amherst, Wis.

Cory, a junior at Amherst High School, has earned three wins in high school tournaments across the state of Wisconsin over the past 12 months, including an FLW High School Open on the Mississippi River. He also has an impressive five Top 5 finishes to add to his extensive list of tournament success.

Cory is also the founder and current president of his high school bass fishing team. In 2018, he was selected as a member of the Bassmaster High School All-State Team, and when asked what his fishing goals for the future were, his response was “to be named a Bassmaster High School All-American.”

“Perhaps most notable about Tyler Cory is his passion for fishing,” wrote Hannah Lynch, a physical education teacher at Amherst High School. “There are few people in this world with a solid passion and drive like Tyler has for fishing. He could not be a more deserving candidate and he will work extremely hard.”

Dylan Fogarty, Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Fogarty, a junior at Cumberland Valley High School, has tallied an impressive four wins this tournament season, as well as six Top 5 finishes and three Top 20s in high school events. He has also been the angler of the year two years running for the Capital City Junior Bassmasters. Fogarty currently is serving as tournament director for his high school club and single handedly raised over $1,800 for the club to use for equipment, jerseys and tournament expenses.

Fogarty also participates in various conservation and community service efforts, including helping Conodoquinet Creek Association apply for the 2019 Pennsylvania Creek of the Year grant. He helped organize a “Hooked on Scouting” fishing event meant to help recruit new cub scouts and their families. At this event, he instructed young children in conservation practices and fishing techniques. For the past several years, he has also been a volunteer with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Kids Fishing Derby which gives a day of fishing to children who are affected by these illnesses.

“I’ve never met a person, young or old, with the passion for fishing that Dylan has,” wrote Robert Shaw, bass fishing club advisor at Cumberland Valley High School. “He was excited and prepared to start a bass fishing club at our high school. Dylan took the initiative, and on his own, created the club we have today. The club is now home to students who fish in tournaments, some who just fish for fun, and others who don’t fish much but want a safe and welcoming place to hang out with friends.”

Parker Guy, Ocilla, Ga.

A junior and member of the Irwin Bass Anglers, Guy has earned two wins over the past 12 months, including the Georgia B.A.S.S. Nation High School tournament on Lake Eufaula. Currently, Guy is ranked fifth in the angler of the year points standings for the Georgia B.A.S.S. Nation.

“As a coach, seeing Parker make the decision to focus all of his attention on fishing was a blow to our other athletic programs,” wrote Buddy Nobles, athletic director for Irwin County High School. “It is not every day you find a 6-foot, 8-inch athlete with impeccable character, God-given athletic ability and academic greatness. I sure would love to have him on the baseball mound or football field, but there is no doubt Parker’s destiny has always been on the water.”

Guy assisted the caretaker of a neighborhood lake, learning how to properly clean and care for the areas surrounding the lake, deal with beaver dam-building, creating fish habitat and maintaining the dam and other facilities. He has now taken over responsibility for monitoring and caring for the lake.

Luke Haymaker, Canal Fulton, Ohio

Haymaker has been a member of the PrimeTime Junior Bass Anglers club for the past five years, including three years in which he served as president. In the past 12 months, he claimed victory in two tournaments and finished in the Top 5 in three additional tournaments.

He was named the PrimeTime Junior Bass Angler of the Year in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018. Haymaker will be attending Kent State University in the fall, and he plans on joining the Kent State bass fishing team. He intends to study marketing in hopes of attaining a sales job in the bass fishing industry — if his original plan of becoming a Bassmaster Elite Series angler does not work out.

“With the love of the outdoors, Luke possesses a keen awareness of our need as sporting enthusiast to be conservation minded, and to protect God’s fragile ecosystem,” said Robert L. Davis, president of the North Coast Bass Anglers Association.

Brody Jacks, Benton, Ark.

A junior at Bauxite High School and president of his high school fishing team, Jacks has seen extensive tournament success over the past year. He has earned three wins, including an Arkansas High School Bassers Classic Championship, as well as four Top 5s and seven Top 20 finishes.

Jacks helped write a grant application to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. As a result, the club was awarded $1,000 from Gov. Asa Hutchinson to help purchase fishing supplies for students who would like to become part of the fishing club, but do not have the means to purchase gear.

“Besides helping to start the Bauxite High School fishing team, Brody serves in many other leadership positions,” wrote Jonathan Knight, the school’s assistant principal. “Somehow he still manages time to grow his small business, Osprey Fishing Tackle. And, in the past few months, he has been invited and accepted invitations to speak about high school fishing on the highest-rated morning show in Arkansas — KABX 103.7.”

Seth Moser, Maryville, Tenn.

A senior at Sequoyah High School, Moser has earned four wins, including a Southeast Tennessee B.A.S.S. Nation high school event on Lake Chickamauga. He also has one Top 5 finish and six Top 20 finishes to his credit.

“Academically, (Moser) is in the top 1% of the senior class and has maintained that ranking all four years,” wrote Debi Tipton, principal at Sequoyah High School. “Not only does Seth get great grades, he also participates in many extracurricular activities. He personally raised over $16,000 over the course of four years for the Sequoyah High School Bass Team as well as completed 82 hours of community service.”

Moser also excels in leadership and scholastic achievements. He has been the recipient of multiple math and scholar awards; has been invited to the National Youth Leadership Conference for Medicine and Science; has served as the FCA president, senior class treasurer and high school bass team president. His goal is to lead his future college, University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, to a national bass fishing championship title.

Wyatt Pazdro, Minooka, Ill.

Pazdro, a junior at Minooka Community High School, has an impressive four tournament wins over the past 12 months, as well as four Top 5 finishes. One of his wins was in the IHSA State Championship, where he was competing for the second time.

In addition to his tournament success, Pazdro has as extensive list of conservation projects and community service to his name. He has planted fish habitat in local ponds, helped clean the shores of the Des Plains River and participated in a DNR program to help Aux Sable Creek Farms, just to name a few.

“I have always known Wyatt to be a very dedicated fisherman,” said Kevin Gummerson, a social studies teacher at Minooka Community High School. “It was evident to me that fishing has been a big part of Wyatt’s life and has motivated him to do better in the classroom.”

Wes Rollo, Natchitoches, La.

A senior on the Natchitoches Central High bass fishing team, Rollo has overcome great obstacles to earn his tournament success on the water.

At the age of 12, Rollo was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. At the time, he was an up and coming pitcher with his baseball team and a cornerback on his middle school football team.

"Within 6 weeks," said his father, Jeff Rollo, "Wes was a skeletal 70 pounds and had little muscle mass. Chemotherapy treatments and other medications he had to take caused avascular necrosis (AVN), which can lead to bone death."

Wes, who had been fishing since age 2 and who practiced casting into a bucket at 4 years old, wouldn’t give up on fishing.

“Sometimes I had to carry him, sometimes he would sit in a chair,” said his father. “Every chance we got, I took him in the boat. When he was not physically able to get out of bed, he watched hours upon hours of (fishing) videos. It was what got him through those nearly 3 years of treatment.”

Wes learned in 2015 that the AVN condition had improved, instead of getting worse as expected. His doctor credited the turnaround to his activity fishing and balancing as he stood in a boat, Jeff Rollo said.

Off the water, the young angler has raised money and collected donations to cook dinner and provide Christmas gifts for St. Jude’s kids and their families at the Ronald McDonald House in Memphis. It was there that he chose two children to host for a fishing weekend in Louisiana, where he will take each child and his family fishing for a weekend.

Dalton Smith, Brandon, Miss.

Smith, a junior at Northwest Rankin High School, has earned five wins in high school tournaments, seven Top 5 finishes and 5 Top 20 finishes in the 2018-2019 tournament season. He is also a four-time TBF youth state champion and a TBF youth Central Division champion.

Smith has an extensive lineup of conservation projects as well as community service activities. He organized two fundraisers for the Wounded Warriors Project, worked to educate future anglers about giant salvinia on Ross Barnett Reservoir and takes peers and younger children in the community out to help them learn about fishing as a relaxing and rewarding way to spend time.

“Whenever opportunity lends itself, Dalton gives speeches, writes papers and creates art to bring awareness and help develop an interest in fishing among his peers,” wrote Mary Jane Cox, art department chairman at Northwest Rankin High School. “This is the second year Northwest Rankin High School has had a fishing team, and Dalton has been very active in recruiting students to be a part of this growing group.”

Tucker Smith, Shoal Creek, Ala.

A junior at Briarwood Christian School, Smith has two first-place finishes on his resume, including a win against a 200-boat field at the Bassmaster High School National Championship held on Kentucky Lake out of Paris, Tenn. Smith and his fishing partner, Grayson Morris, are also a part of the high school television show on Jimmy Houston Legends (JHL.TV) called Winning Edges — a show produced by high school students to present “hands on” educational and inspirational video content.

“When Tucker was in junior high school, he suffered a traumatic ‘tib fib’ leg fracture at
football practice,” wrote Jay Mathews, director of athletics and the bass fishing coach at Briarwood Christian School. “He was in a wheelchair for quite some time. Tucker decided to take this setback as a comeback and even fished from his wheelchair! He never complained throughout his recovery.”

Off the water, Smith has worked for King's Home Kampfire for the King event and has been a big part of managing a private lake in Louisville, Ala., for a number of years. This year, they will be adding fish habitat in addition to the baitfish stocked in 2018.

Jackson Swisher, Lake City, Fla.

Swisher, a junior at Columbia High School, has excelled both on and off the water in his high school career. In the past 12 months alone, Swisher has earned three first-place finishes, seven Top 5 finishes and six Top 20 finishes. He’s currently in first place for the Florida B.A.S.S. Nation Southern Series points standings.

When he’s not fishing competitively, Swisher volunteers at fundraising tournaments on the Suwannee River, including the Breast Cancer Awareness Association tournament and the Puzzle Pieces of North Florida Autism tournament. He also teaches pitching, casting and knot-tying skills to first-time anglers at the National Wild Turkey Federation Take A Kid Fishing Day.

“My three daughters (age 6, 7 and 9) expressed to me they wanted to learn about fishing,” wrote Thomas Hosford, principal at Columbia High School. “I spoke to Jackson … and he immediately asked when he could take them fishing. Over the next week, Jackson spent a couple of afternoons fishing with them at a nearby pond. I was amazed at his patience with them. You could see his passion for showing others, especially children, how to fish.

“When I think of an All-American, I think of someone who not only excels in his or her sport, but also in all walks of life. Jackson is the epitome of an All-American.”

James Willoughby, Gulfport, Miss.

With an outstanding five tournament wins over the past 12 months, Willoughby has demonstrated the fishing ability needed to qualify as a Bassmaster High School All-American. In addition to those five wins, he has also logged seven Top 5 finishes and 8 Top 20 finishes.

Willoughby organized the first fishing team at his high school and has been actively involved ever since. He is also very dedicated to his schoolwork and has not missed a day of school in the past four years. He has volunteered with special needs children, giving them the chance to be on the water and catch fish.

“James is an example of a good citizen who is committed to his role as a student, teammate and community member,” said Caitlin Holley, an english teacher at West Harrison High School. “He humbly demonstrates leadership skills daily, and his classmates are encouraged by his positive attitude and behavior.”

The River Less Traveled

Vance McCullough - AnglersChannel.com

There are two reasons you’d find yourself alone in a bass tournament:

1) you are smarter than everyone else,

2) you are dumber than everyone else.

It turns out that Dylan Hays was the former during last week’s FLW Tour on Lake Cherokee when he turned his back on the smallmouth smash fest happening on the lower section of lake and ran up the Holston River to fish for largemouth. Though he finished 3^rd, at first he wasn’t so sure he’d made a smart move. “I was boat number 78 when we launched the first morning. When I went under the 25E bridge - the first bridge on the lake, it’s about halfway up - I was boat number 1.

“Nobody went up there. Not a soul. I said ‘Oh, Dylan, you’re probably screwing up’.

“And I fished the first seventy-five yards where I had a lot of bites in practice and I never got a bite. I thought ‘Dylan, you’re really screwing up bad.’

“Then I got my first bite. It weighed 4-6. It settled me in. My next bite was a 3-and-a-half. In my next hour I caught two keepers and then I caught a 4-11.

“Then I knew I had something special.

“The reason I chose to do that was because I just couldn’t get the smallmouth game going to be honest with you.”

Early the first day of practice Hays caught a 3 ½ -pounder up the lake. While it was not in the area he fished during competition, it gave him a clue. He thought he might bed fish and he marked a bunch of them, but that didn’t quite pan out.

“So, day 3 of practice I decided ‘I’ve got to figure out how to catch a bass.’ I pulled out a little swimbait and caught some smallmouth, 2-and-a-half-pounders, and I thought with a couple of bed fish I might put together a limit doing that, but it wasn’t the winning stuff.

“At 5 o’clock the last day of practice I went up the river; just took off.

“I pulled into the creek I ended up fishing in the tournament and it was like a different lake. I got bit, like, every other flip. Whether it was little ones or bream or whatever, it was something, just something. I liked it and thought ‘man, I want to come up here, but I haven’t caught any keepers yet’.

“I fished for twenty more minutes and caught a 4 ½ - pounder. The very next flip I shook off a big one. And like, five flips later I shook off another big one. I said, ‘well ok, the decision’s made right there’.”

Hays’ decision to fish the upper reaches of the lake nearly won him the tournament. “I should have made it happen. I lost the winner on Day 3. But four or five guys had the bites to win. But I did, for sure, have the bites to win.”

Hays weighed-in several 4-pounders during the event which made him the envy of most guys in the smallmouth camp. Lake Cherokee has an outstanding population of 3-pound brown bass, but 4-pounders are rare.

While he had half the lake to himself, Hays caught most of his weight throughout the week from one piece of shoreline. “Out of the seven 4-pound fish I weighed, six of them came off one bank. I also caught another six that weighed 3-plus off that bank. That’s over half my fish that I weighed in the tournament, off one stretch.”

What made that section of the creek so productive? “The channel wrapped around this point right there. All the big females I caught in that creek were sitting right there. You could get off that, to some steeper banks, and catch some but they would almost all be males, 2 ½ pounds or less.”

While he used the flipping approach - generally associated with heavy cover - to put a lure in front of fish, Hays says the magic was more about the structure of the bottom, less about the cover on it. “Contours. That’s all it was – contours. There were three or four laydowns on it, only one laydown that I caught fish out of. I caught two big ones out of it the first day and never had another bite on it all week. All the rest of them, I was just flipping the rocks. There might have been a log here or there but most of those fish were just sitting on the rock.”

Hays duplicated some of his magic on three other channel swings in the same creek. “I also caught a couple of 4-pounders and another 3-pounder fishing channel swings out on the main river with laydowns. I even had that to myself. I never ever had a boat in my way the whole week.”

Hays did most of his work with a homemade half-ounce jig, green pumpkin/brown, tipped with a Zoom Z Craw Jr in green pumpkin. “I also caught a couple the last day on a Zoom Big Salty Chunk on the back of that same jig.

“I weighed two fish on a Phancy Lures spinnerbait. Half-ounce, chartreuse and white with tandem blades. The wind literally blew, like, ten minutes one day and I picked the spinnerbait up and caught a 4-pounder. Then it blew, like, ten minutes another day and I picked it up and caught a 3 ½ -pounder on it. It never blew in there the whole rest of the tournament.”

Conditions called for fluorocarbon line. Hays opted for 20-lb Hi Seas. “That stuff is really, really strong. That was key because I was flipping rocks the whole time and that’s bad on your line.”

Video on FLWFishing.com shows the big, round bow of Hays’ rod as he sets the hook. He says that action was critical to success this week. “A 7’3” Falcon Cara swimbait rod. That rod is awesome to flip with.”

A 7:1 reel helped him keep up with feisty springtime bass.

Hays used his Costas to good advantage too. Late on the first day, when he boated his best bag of the week, he needed to cull a 15-incher. “I went and started checking some beds I had marked. I had six big ones marked and they were all gone. I went over one fish that was still there. It was a 3-pound smallmouth. I caught it sight fishing. The beds were really hard to see. I knew that wasn’t the deal, but it did give me one good fish the first day.”

Hays hopes to ride his newfound momentum to a Cup appearance. “I was the first person out of the cut for the Cup last year by two points. I really want to make the Cup. I just jumped from 72^ndin the points to 39^th. That’s huge for me.”

The top 40 pros get an invite to fish the Forrest Wood Cup in Hays’ home state of Arkansas.

“The Cup is on Lake Hamilton which is just down the road from me.”

Along the way to qualifying for the championship, Hays would like to win a Tour event. “I’ve been close 3 years in a row. This is my 3^rdTop 3 in 3 years. But you won’t hear me complain about 3^rdplace.”

Hays has seen Champlain, sight of the Tour finale. “I’ve fished it the last two years the same exact week we fish it this year. Not saying I’m going to do good. I’ve cut checks both times though. But I will not be intimidated by the lake like I was the first time I showed up there. That was the first time I ever saw big water in my life. I was just a freaking scared little kid. I didn’t know how to get around and I was just really intimidated. At least now I won’t have that factor going in.”

He pre-fished Chickamauga with mixed results. “I caught 6 pounds one day and 19 the next day. I’m comfortable there but I’m still nervous – I’m always nervous about ‘em. I ain’t ever sure I’m on ‘em wherever.”

Uncertainty didn’t hurt Hays this past week. He followed his gut to a $25,000 payday and a high finish. But still, it’s a razor’s edge between success and failure. “If I didn’t find those fish in that last hour of practice, I would’ve probably caught ten or twelve pounds a day and finished in the hundreds.”

But if Hays keeps listening to that little voice in his head . . .

MLF Gets Bad Boy Mowers for Stage Seven on Grand Lake

Bad Boy Mowers Becomes Title Sponsor of Grand Lake Stage Seven Event

TULSA, Okla. (April 18, 2019) - Major League Fishing® (MLF) announced today that Bad Boy Mowers is a new sponsor of the MLF Bass Pro Tour and that it will be the title sponsor of the series' 2019 Stage Seven event at Grand Lake O' The Cherokees, May 31 - June 5.

The maker of the popular line of zero-turn-radius mowers and other quality lawn care

equipment has interests common with Grand Lake and fishing in general, making the new relationship an especially good fit for all.

Bad Boy shares The Ozarks with Grand: its headquarters is located in the eastern part of the scenic region at Batesville, Arkansas, while Grand occupies the west side in Oklahoma. And Bad Boy shares in the lake's interest in reaching the wide and diverse MLF national audience that is known to be active outdoors enthusiasts.

"Our MLF audience, whether they're following us on the MLF NOW! live stream, personally attending Bass Pro Tour events, or watching our MLF programming on Outdoor Channel and other networks, is without doubt a group that loves the outdoors and being in it," said league President and CEO, Jim Wilburn. "Bad Boy is a great addition to our team of sponsors and I have no doubt that their brand and our fans will both benefit greatly from the interaction afforded through the entitled advertising and on-site activation efforts."

"We're excited to partner with the MLF Bass Pro Tour in its inaugural season and be the title sponsor of Stage Seven on Grand Lake," said Lennie Foree, Vice President of Marketing for Bad Boy Mowers. "Our customers, dealers and staff are sports fans and outdoorsmen, and aligning with MLF is the perfect connection to their passion. And we look forward to showcasing Bad Boy Mowers to MLF fans."

The Bass Pro Tour is halfway through its 2019 season of eight qualifying events, called "Stages," with Stage Five up next and scheduled for Lewis Smith Lake at Cullman, Alabama, April 30 - May 5.

Bad Boy will make its MLF on-site debut during the Bass Pro Tour Stage Six fan activities at Missouri's Table Rock Lake, another Ozark destination, April 30 - May 5. The mower company's presence will then be heightened even more when the Bad Boy Stage Seven Grand Lake event follows afterwards at the end of May.

"The American spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation that powers Bad Boy Mowers is the same spirit that conceived and launched the MLF Bass Pro Tour. It's fantastic to welcome Bad Boy as a partner with MLF and showcase their brand to our growing millions of fans," said Chris Bork, Director, Sponsorship, MLF Bass Pro Tour.

As part of the sponsorship, the Bad Boy brand will be featured in TV commercials and digital graphics on MLF programming, and additionally spotlighted during the Stage Seven two-hour television show that will air on Discovery Channel in the fourth quarter of 2019, and repeat on Sportsman Channel in first and second quarters of 2020.

Bad Boy Mowers was started in 2002 and has grown from around 20 employees in the beginning, to more than 800 today. The company's operation in Arkansas spans more than 105 acres and has facilities totaling nearly one million square feet for the manufacturing of Bad Boy commercial grade and commercial-quality residential-grade zero-turn mowers.

Prespawn Bass Put Biggs In The Lead At Guntersville B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional

Texas angler James Biggs of Team Oklahoma took the lead on the first day of the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional held on Lake Guntersville out of Guntersville, Ala. Biggs brought 25 pounds, 4 ounces to the scales at Wednesday's weigh-in.

April 17, 2019

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. — James Biggs of Euless, Texas, effectively employed an intercept strategy to catch a huge five-bass limit that weighed 25 pounds, 4 ounces for the opening-round lead at the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional on Lake Guntersville.

With a 2-pound, 12-ounce margin over second place, the Texas boater built his game plan around seasonal patterns. Anglers reported finding fish in all three stages of the spawn, but Biggs believed his best opportunity would be found with the prespawn fish.

“I just found where they’re transitioning,” Biggs said. “We have a full moon coming and they’re heading to the banks. I found that stopping spot pretty close to where they’re heading.

“I fished the renowned Guntersville bridges, which make funneling points. These are just common-sense spots where the fish will stop on the way in, and stop on the way out.”

Biggs said he spent most of his time fishing bridge pilings and bottom structure in the deeper sections. Although he caught fish throughout different parts of the day, Biggs experienced a midday upturn.

“I think that was because (the TVA) started running some current,” he said.

Mobility, he said, was the key to his success. He knew the fish would be feeding heavily, so checking multiple spots proved essential.

“The morning bite wasn’t very good; I sat on one area for a while and caught a couple, but nothing great,” he said. “I made a move and was able to cull those fish out.

“I just started spot hopping the same type of stuff. It was more of a pattern than a location because it worked in multiple places.

True to the prespawn pattern, Biggs caught his fish on a mix of presentations. Swimbaits produced some of his bigger bites, but slowly dragging plastics along the bottom also added to his limit.

“We’re at Guntersville in April — fish your strength,” he said of the big lake’s famous spring bonanza. “This lake is so full of fish, you can catch them a bunch of different ways.”

Jeremy Montgomery of Overland Park, Kan., is in second place with 22-8. Anchoring his bag was a 6-5 and another kicker around 6. Three more in the 3-pound range bespoke a day of consistency.

Montgomery said he’s targeting grassy humps rising from about 7 to 8 feet of water down to 4 feet. His fish are either right on top of the hump or they’re on the edge of the grass.

“They’re coming to me, for sure,” Montgomery said of his postspawn staging areas. “I only hit three of the spots I found in practice, so I have a couple more that I left alone today. I got a limit really early, culled one at noon and then kind of laid off of them.”

Montgomery caught his fish on Senkos Texas rigged with a 1/8-ounce bullet weight, which helped the bait push through the grass. Popping the worm out of grass often triggered reaction bites.

Sawyer McMurphy of Long Beach, Miss., finished the first day in third place with 19-0. He was mostly targeting prespawn and postspawn fish, but late morning offered an opportunity to catch a bedded fish.

“I saw the bed in about 3 feet of water but I didn’t actually see the fish,” he said. “I flipped a beaver in there and she attacked the bait on the first cast.”

Josh Hilton of Clarksville, Ark., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 8-12.

Mike Szczechowski of Strafford, Mo., leads the nonboater division with 15-4. Paired with Biggs, he also benefited from the staging popularity of Guntersville bridges.

“I caught fish on the pilings and the points going underneath them,” Szczechowski said. “It was a mix of reaction baits and slower baits. Sometimes the bite was really fast, and sometimes it was really slow. We just did what we had to do to get bit, and reacted to where we fished.”

Szczechowski’s bag included a 6-5 kicker. He caught that one mid-morning.

Lake Hartwell and Anderson County: “Where Champions Fish”

Anderson County, S.C. – Visit Anderson and Anderson County took a leap of faith when in 2016 they put financial support behind two young professional anglers and budding stars Brian Latimer of Belton and Brandon Cobb of Greenwood. In the past 45 days, that leap of faith has come full circle as Brian Latimer, and Brandon Cobb notched their first career wins on the FLW Tour and Bassmaster Elite Series respectively. Anderson County and Visit Anderson will be highlighting wins by Latimer and Cobb as well as additional successes in a press conference to take place at Green Pond Landing on Monday, April 22 at 11 a.m.

Brian Latimer, who represents Green Pond Landing and Event Center on the FLW Tour, won his first professional tournament on Lake Seminole in Georgia back in March. Latimer, a native of Belton, has Green Pond Landing logos on his jersey and his boat and travels all over the country fishing the FLW Tour and serves as an ambassador for Anderson County, Green Pond Landing, and Lake Hartwell, his home fishery.

Brandon Cobb, who represents Visit Anderson in his first year on the Bassmaster Elite Series, won his first professional recently when the Bassmaster Elite Series competed on Lake Hartwell. Cobb, a native of Greenwood, carries the Visit Anderson branding on his jersey and boat and travels all over the country fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series and serves as an ambassador for Visit Anderson and Lake Hartwell, which Cobb refers to as his home fishery. Cobb went to college at nearby Clemson University and spent a lot of time on Lake Hartwell during college as he and a small group of friends are responsible for creating the bass fishing team at Clemson in 2008.

“We couldn’t be more proud of these two young men,” said Visit Anderson Executive Director Neil Paul. “They are outstanding anglers and professionals in their own right, but I wouldn’t trade the relationships and friendships that we have developed since we began working together. Brian and Brandon are tremendous anglers but even better people. I have often said, that the County and CVB took a chance on them when we decided to sponsor them on their professional journey, but more so they took a chance on us. It is a very unique and untapped partnership opportunity across the fishing industry. I was a young and naïve director at the time; but to the credit of these two young men, they saw a very supportive fishing community in Anderson County, a world-class facility in Green Pond Landing and a championship fishery in Lake Hartwell and they have been a great representative of what we’re trying to do here ever since. Through their successes and the visibility of our brands, we are now fielding calls each year from professional anglers wanting advice on how to approach their communities for partnership opportunities.”

For the press conference scheduled for Monday, April 22 at 11 a.m., Brian Latimer and Brandon Cobb will be available with their boats, jerseys and their trophies available for photos and interviews. Also, representatives of Anderson County and Visit Anderson will talk about these partnerships and share additional information regarding recent recognitions as well as sharing future event news for Green Pond Landing, Lake Hartwell, and Anderson County.

When Scroggins says it’s Easter

Alan McGuckin - Dynamic Sponsorships

Terry “Big Show” Scroggins is a character. The Florida pro painted cars for 16 years in the family auto body biz, loves to pour his own soft plastic lures, build his own fishing rods, and grill meat for his buddies. Plus, he’s filled with a Tundra full of timely one-liners that will make you howl with laughter.

One of his best: “If I tell you it’s Easter, you’d better hide your eggs.”

Well, it’s Easter time. And Scroggins is dishing out non-negotiable truths about how to catch spawning bass about the same time Peter Cottontail comes hopping down the bunny trail.

Be aware and buy good eyewear

“The first step to catching bass around the spawn is taking time to know if the fish in your area are pre-spawn, spawn, or post-spawn. Around my house in Florida, bass start spawning in late January and February, but in New York it could be June. So you have to pay attention, and know if bass are actually on the beds or not,” says Scroggins.

“If you know for certain fish are spawning, then buy the best pair of polarized sunglasses you can afford, and look for beds in super shallow water in the backs of creeks, flat bays, and shallow pockets. But you need to realize not all beds look the same, based on the bottom substrate and water clarity. Some spawning beds look almost orange, while others can look tan or white, and some look nearly black,” says Scroggins.

Learn to trust spinning tackle

“If you’re fortunate to spy a big bass on a spawning bed, don’t assume you need 20-pound line and a baitcasting reel to catch her,” says Scroggins. “I catch 90% of my spawners with a spinning reel spooled with light line, and a 7-foot medium action rod from Mud Hole. Not only can you finesse the lure better on spinning tackle, but lighter line is less detectable to finicky spawners.”

These three lures are all you need

“A lot of times you have to offer a single spawning bass a variety of lures to make her bite. It’s crazy how the same fish will snub their nose at one lure, but turn and attack a different lure on the next cast,” he says. “If you have a tube, a wacky rigged 5” Senko, and a skinny 6” straight tail worm, there’s a really strong chance that fish will eat one of those three,” says the Toyota pro.

Scroggins will also tell you it’s almost Easter. So you’d better hide your eggs.

Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest Could Be Tournament Of The Century Belt

Courtesy of BASS

EMORY, Texas — Everyone recognizes the shiny blue trophies that are presented to each of the nine winners of regular-season Bassmaster Elite Series events.

Likewise, all fans of professional bass fishing instantly know the hulking trophy that is awarded every year to the Bassmaster Classic champion.

But there’s one piece of B.A.S.S. hardware that isn't seen nearly as often.

Known as the Century Belt, it’s only awarded to anglers who catch more than 100 pounds of bass during a four-day Elite Series event — and it could be making a rare appearance soon.

The third annual Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest benefiting the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is scheduled for May 2-6 on Lake Fork near Emory, Texas. That means some of the best bass anglers in the world will converge on a lake with a reputation for producing giant bass at just the right time on the calendar.

“To sit and think about the possibilities is really exciting,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin. “We’ve never had a major B.A.S.S. event on Lake Fork. Now, we’ll be visiting in the spring — at the perfect time for giant bass to be caught.”

To put the possibilities into perspective, consider this:

In 2014, the Toyota Texas Bass Classic (TTBC) — the predecessor to Texas Fest that included the top anglers from B.A.S.S. and the FLW Tour — was held on Lake Fork. Current Bassmaster Elite Series pro Keith Combs took first place with a gigantic winning weight of 110 pounds.

That was a three-day event that recorded the weights of only 15 fish.

Anglers will spend four days on the water at Texas Fest and record the weights of their 20 biggest fish. All fish will be weighed in the boat and immediately released.

“To get to 100 pounds in four days is a major accomplishment, and to do it in three is unheard of,” said Combs. “It’s nothing about the angler — it wasn’t about me when I did it there. It’s just a testament to the quality of fishing at Lake Fork.”

In the 10 years TTBC was held and the two years since its transition to Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest, the event has generated millions of dollars for TPWD’s youth fishing and urban outreach programs.

“We’re excited to head back to Lake Fork and be the official sponsor of the 2019 Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest,” said Brent Hillyer, Gulf States Toyota’s senior vice president of marketing and vehicle supply. “There’s no better way to continue to benefit Texas Parks and Wildlife Department than by holding this competition at one of Texas’ most admired reservoirs.”

The Elite Series was formed in 2006, and Century Belts have only been awarded at nine events (out of more than 100 total). No angler has earned one of the belts since the 2013 Elite Series event on Falcon Lake when Combs (111-5), Rick Clunn (105-6) and John Crews (103-13) all topped the 100-pound mark.

Many believe Century Belts could be claimed again at Texas Fest because Lake Fork — a 27,000-acre impoundment on the Sabine River — has been intensely managed for giant bass since it was impounded in 1980.

Through 2018, Texas Parks and Wildlife has stocked nearly 14 million Florida-strain largemouth — and the bass have flourished in habitat that includes vast areas of standing timber, hydrilla, milfoil and duckweed.

To help the fish reach exceptional sizes, TPWD implemented a slot limit that protects all bass that measure between 16 and 24 inches. Anglers can keep up to five bass per day, but only one of them can be over 24 inches.

Those management efforts have created a fishery that has produced 30 of the 50 largest bass ever caught in Texas, including the current state record of 18.18 pounds, which was in 1992 by Barry St. Clair.

The slot limit won’t be a problem for the 75-angler Elite Series field since all bass will be immediately released — and the springtime conditions at Fork could lead to great things. The catch/weigh/release format made its debut at the first Toyota Texas Bass Classic, which was held on Lake Fork in 2007.

“Our Department is very proud of the fact that we helped create and rollout the nation’s first catch/weigh/immediate release tournament,” said Dave Terre, chief of Fisheries Management and Research for TPWD. “For the past 12 years, we’ve used them to showcase some of Texas’ best bass fisheries, including Lake Fork. The unique format emphasizes fish care, supports catch and release and honors our fisheries management goals. At Lake Fork, our goals are to produce big bass. We’re now delighted to have the opportunity to showcase this great fishery for the first time in a Bassmasters Elite Series event. We think four-day catch records could be broken.”

During that 2014 TTBC when Combs won with 110 pounds, he had one five-bass limit that weighed 42 pounds. That’s a little more than 3 pounds shy of the all-time B.A.S.S. record for largest single-day, five-bass limit.

The full field of Elite Series anglers will fish Thursday and Friday, May 2-3. Anglers will then take a break from competition on Saturday, May 4, for a special Fan Appreciation Day with festivities, including Bassmaster University seminars, the Bassmaster Outdoors Expo and the annual Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team Tournament. A highlight of the Expo will be the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Outdoor Adventure experience, including a catfish tank, wildlife viewing tent, fly casting and tying center, Texas State Fish Art exhibit, Toyota Sharelunker Trailer and many others.

The Top 35 Elite Series pros will resume competition on Sunday, May 5, and the Top 10 will compete on Championship Monday, May 6.

The tournament will feature a total payout of $1 million, with $100,000 going to the champion. A Toyota Tundra pickup truck will be awarded to the angler who weighs in the heaviest bass of the week.

“The Lake Fork Area Chamber of Commerce and our partners the Wood County Industrial Commission, Emory Tourism and Quitman EDC are excited to be hosting such an elite tournament such as the Bassmaster Elite Series,” said Michael Rogge, president of the Lake Fork Area COC. “This the first time in Lake Fork’s history to hold such a tournament. This event will show that major tournament organizations, such as Bassmaster, can hold events on a lake with restrictive size limits. Catch-and-release tournaments are becoming more popular, and this tournament will show the world that it can be done and exciting at the same time.”

The event will be covered in real time on Bassmaster LIVE, which streams on Bassmaster.com and the ESPN app, and it will be featured in a special episode of The Bassmasters television program to be aired later on ESPN2 and ESPN Classic.

In addition to the Lake Fork Chamber, the Wood County Industrial Commission, the Sabine River Authority, Quitman Economic Development Commission and Emory, TX Tourism are hosting the Texas Fest event.

VanDam looks for dogwoods, mimics nest robbers

Alan McGuckin - Dynamic Sponsorships

Unless your favorite fishery is clearer than Sprite, you probably can’t see for sure if bass are actually on spawning beds. But Kevin VanDam says if you see dogwood trees blooming along the shoreline, you better start casting ultra shallow, because there’s a super high chance your local largemouth are making babies.

“I don’t care if you’re in Michigan, Missouri, or somewhere in between, I’ve always said if the dogwoods are blooming, then you can pretty much bet the bass are spawning,” says the Team Toyota angler.

Moon phase and water temp matter too

“Dogwoods are an easy indicator, but you need to pay attention to the moon phase and water temperature too, especially the moon phase,” says VanDam. “Water temps can fool you a little, because I’ve seen bass build beds in a pretty wide range of water temps. But if you have either a new moon or a full moon, like we’ve got coming later this week, and the dogwoods are blooming, you can count on bass spawning.”

The ideal “nursery” for largemouth

“You need to do a little map study and focus first on the shallowest and flattest creeks, pockets, coves, and bays on the northern shorelines. Most people know bass build their nests shallow, but the importance of pockets and creeks on the north side of the lake gets overlooked. And those are really key because they get blitzed by warm sun, and they’re protected from cold north winds,” he explains.

Three lures that will get a spawner’s attention

“Just about every lure I use when I know bass are on beds mimics bluegill, because bluegill and other small species of sunfish love to eat the eggs of largemouth. I call them ‘nest robbers’ – and obviously bass are trying to protect their eggs and fry, so they try to eat the small sunfish,” he says.

“If I was going to choose three lures to cast when the dogwoods are blooming it’d be a Strike King Caffeine Shad, a 4” Texas rigged Strike King Game Hawg, and a swim jig – and every one of them would be the colors of a small sunfish,” says VanDam.

He says he also likes to add a bit of chartreuse dye to the tips of the lures to help them resemble the lighter-colored fins of a sunfish. But mostly, at this time of year, VanDam’s eyes are always searching for pink or white dogwood trees.

Courtesy of CBA Facebook Page:

CHATTANOOGA (CBA INC.) – The veteran C.B.A. team of Eddie Wilson and Don Lamb caught a 5 bass limit weighing 22.23 pounds topping out the field of 120 anglers to win first place and $2,000.00 in the BoatLogix Chattanooga Bass Association event. This bass event was held April 13th, 2019 out of Chester Frost Boat Ramp.

When we got down river to our first location, there was one crappie boat in the whole area, it was a dream come true. The bass bit good all day and we caught them till we had to head back to Chickamauga, This will be a win we remember for a long time”.

The big bass of this event was caught by youth division angler Trey Randolph, a nice 7.05 pound large mouth bass. Tray was also the youth division winner.

All fish caught in this event were released back into Lake Chickamauga to be caught again and special thanks to the fishermen for taking such extra good care of their catches.

APEX’S JOYCE WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE OPENER ON KERR LAKE

Drakes Branch’s Toombs Wins Co-angler Division

HENDERSON, N.C. (April 15, 2019) – Boater Keith Joyce of Apex, North Carolina, caught five bass Saturday weighing 19 pounds, 5 ounces, to win the 2019 T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Piedmont division tournament on Kerr Lake. Joyce earned $7,254 for his victory.

“I was just looking for isolated buck bushes in the back of spawning pockets as far as I could go,” said Joyce, who earned his first career win in BFL competition. “I think I caught 10 keepers total, fishing a shakey-head (rig) all day long. I did have one big fish that I weighed in that came on a buzzbait, but the rest of my keepers were on the shakey-head.”

Joyce said that he fished in the Nutbush area with a Hot Shot Lures Shakey-Head rig with a green-pumpkin KVD Fat Baby Finesse Worm and a white Hot Shot Lures buzzbait.

“It didn’t start off well – I had about 40 fish marked coming into the event, but we had bad thunderstorms and a lot of the creeks had mudslides running into them. So I just went back to the area that I had found the most fish in during practice, put the trolling motor down and just started fishing.”

.The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Keith Joyce, Apex, N.C., five bass, 19-5, $5,254 + $2,000 Ranger Cup

2^nd: Danny Haire, Yadkinville, N.C., five bass, 17-12, $2,052

DALLAS’ SMITH WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE EVENT ON TOLEDO BEND

Deport’s Nichols Wins Co-angler Division

MANY, La. (April 15, 2019) – Boater Ken Smith of Dallas, Texas, caught five bass Saturday weighing 21 pounds, 12 ounces, to win the 2019 T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Cowboy division tournament on Toledo Bend. Smith earned $8,303 for his victory.

Due to a shortage of co-angler participants, Smith had to fish in a boater-on-boater format and was paired with River Lee of Nacogdoches, Texas. It was a successful day on the water for the duo, as Smith won the event while Lee finished the event in 12^th place and won $431.

“I had fish down by the dam, but he had fish closer so we decided to start on his fish and work our way south,” said Smith, who earned his second career victory in BFL competition. “We were fishing in my boat, but we never made it to my fish. Our first spot – which River suggested – we caught five keepers, back and forth, and we never left the area. In fairness, the place we fished is a community hole, but I certainly want to give River credit for putting us on the winning fish.”

Smith said that he caught around a dozen keepers throughout the day flipping a Baby Bass-colored Yamamoto Senko on a Lew’s Custom Lite rod and reel combo with 20-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon.

“The fish were up in the grass as opposed to being on the edge,” Smith said. “Around 11 (a.m.) I caught the big one (7-14) and then a 6-pounder. In 15 minutes I went from 12 pounds to 21 pounds.

“The key was fishing up in the viney bank grass,” Smith went on to say. “There were a lot of guys in the area fishing frogs and topwaters and we were coming in right behind them and catching them way up in the grass.”

.The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Ken Smith, Dallas, Texas, five bass, 21-12, $6,303 + $2,000 Ranger Cup

2^nd: Cole Stewart, Hemphill, Texas, five bass, 20-13, $2,232

3^rd: Zack Fogle, White Oak, Texas, five bass, 20-1, $1,489

4^th: Philip Crelia, Center, Texas, five bass, 19-3, $1,141

5^th: Paul Wilson, Converse, La., five bass, 17-15, $893

6^th: Glen Freeman, Zwolle, La., five bass, 17-7, $818

7^th: Josh Champagne, Breaux Bridge, La., five bass, 17-5, $744

8^th: Nick Abshire, Sulphur, La., five bass, 17-4, $632

8^th: Cody Pitt, Many, La., five bass, 17-4, $632

10^th: Matthew Armand, Hessmer, La., five bass, 15-14, $521

Complete results can be found at FLWFishing.com.

Smith’s 7-pound, 14-ounce bass was the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division and earned the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $640.

Lat Nichols of Deport, Texas, won the Co-angler Division and $2,357 Saturday after catching five bass weighing 15 pounds, 14 ounces.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

1^st: Lat Nichols, Deport, Texas, five bass, 15-14, $2,357

2^nd: Julio Garza, Houston, Texas, five bass, 13-6, $1,129

3^rd: Joey Tuminello, Lafayette, La., five bass, 13-2, $717

4^th: James Callaghan, De Berry, Texas, five bass, 11-10, $503

5^th: Brent Cooper, The Woodlands, Texas, five bass, 11-4, $431

6^th: Richard Hooter, Natchitoches, La., four bass, 11-3, $396

7^th: Rodney Harris, Texarkana, Ark., five bass, 10-3, $360

8^th: Jeff Grubbs Jr., Kemah, Texas, three bass, 10-2, $779

9^th: Cannon Rush, Grand Prairie, Texas, five bass, 10-0, $288

10^th: Dillon Roberts, Claremore, Okla., five bass, 9-9, $252

Grubbs Jr. caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 5 pounds, 13 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $305.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 24-26 BFL Regional Championship on Grand Lake in Grove, Oklahoma. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard.

LITTLE ROCK’S CLARK WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE EVENT ON LAKE HAMILTON PRESENTED BY GEARED

Hot Springs’ Sutton Wins Co-angler Division

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (April 15, 2019) – Boater Randall Clark of Little Rock, Arkansas, caught a five-bass limit Saturday weighing 15 pounds, 11 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Arkie division event on Lake Hamilton presented by Geared. Clark earned $3,901 for his efforts.

Clark said that he fished for spawning fish mid-lake, targeting 15 specific bass that he had found during his practice period on Friday and saved for the tournament. He was able to put three of those marks in the boat, including the big bass of the tournament at 6 pounds, 3 ounces. He added a couple of more keepers from the same areas to fill out his limit.

“I tried a bunch of stuff – I had 10 rods on my deck – but I couldn’t get bit on anything other than a Texas-rigged black Yamamoto Senko,” Clark said. “The pollen had really darkened the water up. It had color – almost muddy – but it wasn’t muddy, it was the pollen.

“Really, the key for me winning was catching the big fish,” Clark continued. “You couldn’t see them, but I was blind casting to the areas that I knew that they were in. During my practice on Friday I had shook that fish off, and I knew right where it was. It was my second stop during the tournament and I put her in the boat within five minutes of getting there.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Randall Clark, Little Rock, Ark., five bass, 15-11, $3,901

2^nd: Lance Pyle, Sherwood, Ark., five bass, 14-3, $1,733

3^rd: Garry Sutton, Hot Springs, Ark., five bass, 13-11, $1,155

MACON’S LANIER WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE EVENT ON LAKE SINCLAIR

Mineral Bluff’s Liner Wins Co-angler Division

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (April 15, 2019) – Boater Justin Lanier of Macon, Georgia, caught five bass Saturday weighing 18 pounds, 1 ounce, to win the 2019 T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Bulldog division tournament on Lake Sinclair. Lanier earned $4,399 for his victory.

“I have been fishing Lake Sinclair for several years, but a lot of the guys in this tournament have much more experience than I do,” said Lanier, who earned his first career victory in BFL competition. “The key for me was making the right decisions as far as where I was fishing and my timing.”

Although Lanier wanted to remain tight-lipped about the specifics of his win, he did say that he was fishing mid-lake, targeting docks and seawalls with a spinnerbait.

“I was keying in on the baitfish – shad,” Lanier said. “The bite was a little better in the morning, but I ended up with nine or 10 keepers throughout the day.”

Lanier said he threw his spinnerbait on a custom spinnerbait rod with an Abu Garcia REVO reel and 17-pound-test monofilament line.

.The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Justin Lanier, Macon, Ga., five bass, 18-1, $4,399

2^nd: Kip Carter, Mansfield, Ga., five bass, 17-13, $2,750

3^rd: Jason Smith, Dawson, Ga., five bass, 15-12, $1,398

4^th: John Duvall, Madison, Ga., five bass, 15-9, $980

5^th: Clabion Johns, Covington, Ga., five bass, 15-3, $840

6^th: Matt Baty, Bainbridge, Ga., five bass, 14-8, $770

7^th: Max Gresham, Valdosta, Ga., five bass, 13-3, $665

7^th: Mike Cleveland, Monticello, Ga., five bass, 13-3, $957
