Henry started the day in ninth place but jumped to the top of the leaderboard after catching the only limit weighing more than 30 pounds throughout the three-day event.

      “Today I caught them off of a community hole on a bridge,” said Henry, who earned his first career victory in FLW competition. “The first two days I fished probably 30 spots a day. Some were shallow and some were medium-offshore.”

      Henry explained that the bass were feeding when he arrived at the bridge in the morning, and that he didn’t leave until he had caught over 30 pounds on a Shad 1-colored Scottsboro Tackle Fringe Swimbait.

      “Guntersville is the best lake in the country,” said Henry of his home waters. “I caught about 25 bass and culled three or four 5-pounders today. My co-angler thought I had it won and I thought I had a good chance. I didn’t know that I had more than 30 pounds, though. When I saw that I knew that Mark Rose would need to have a really big bag to beat me.

      “About a year and a half ago, Jason Christie started helping me, I fish the FLW Tour as a co-angler and practice with him,” finished Henry. “I hang around with guys that expect to win and I think that’s rubbed off on me. I hadn’t thought about the check until they handed it to me. All I wanted was that trophy. All I wanted to do was win.”
