Details Make the Difference at FLW Tour on Seminole
Vance McCullough
The sky may have been falling but it was a bright moment for Brian Latimer as he hugged his first FLW Tour trophy.
His wife kids joined him on stage, sheltered from the thundering downpour that almost waited until weigh in was over. With an extra $100,000 in the bank, ‘B. Lat’ can make it rain any time he wants to now.
The pro from Belton, SC earned the victory over a week of slow fishing that, despite numerous pros bringing in numerous 20-something-pound bags of bass, was a grind, even for the guys who finished near the top. Bites were hard to come by.
“I told my wife after the 2ndday that I was on the right fish and if I could just catch 5 fish a day, I would win,” shared an exhausted Latimer.
On-lookers couldn’t help but notice his superior per-fish average weight as we watched FLW Live. However, when the Live feed was cut near the end of the final round, Latimer had only 3 fish and had lost a couple that would have helped him.
In the closing hour or so Latimer landed 2 more fish to make a limit that weighed 21 pounds, 3 ounces. He amassed a 4-day total of 80 pounds, 15 ounces. He was the only angler to post more than 80 pounds.
Three other pros put up over 70 pounds. Then there’s a gap of nearly 10 pounds between 4thand 5thplaces.
The difference between the haves and the have-nots was big – and not just in terms of weight.
Small details made huge differences.
The guys who made the cut generally stayed in a single area and picked it apart with one or two techniques and waited patiently for the bites which were often hours in coming.
The biggest difference may have been the way top performers worked their lures - or let them lie. A haphazard, straight retrieve wasn’t cutting it.
Sheldon Collings, the 21-year-old phenom who is a much older soul than his age indicates, was dialed-into the action. He pumped his Chatterbait and said he never got a bite all week on a straight retrieve, even his speed worm had to be jerked from the grass to provoke a reaction from the bass. It worked to the tune of 76-2 and a 3rdplace showing.
Rob Kilby, first man out of the final cut spoke on Day 3 of the need to stop/start his spinnerbait to trigger strikes as he reeled it through sparse pads in the Chattahoochee arm of the sprawling lake.
Speaking to the FLW Live audience on Saturday, Latimer noted that he had to soak his Z-Man Palmetto BugZ craw while flipping hydrilla clumps. “Can’t just go through the motions. You have to fish it like you know that fish is sitting there and concentrate on every flip. The weights make it look like it’s easy, but it is really tough to get a bite here,” said the 4th-year Tour pro as he waited over an hour for his next bite.
Amazing how many guys credited their Lowrance units with an assist. Collings marked fish in the deep grass on Day 3 and returned to catch them on Day 4.
Braxton Setzer (78-14, runner-up) nearly won the tourney by targeting fish on a submerged “sand area” that he found on his Lowrance Carbon unit.
Latimer’s area was dirty 3 days out of the 4 so he was glad he had way-pointed some individual grass clumps on his Lowrance when the visibility had been good. Those are what he flipped to produce all of his fish over the last 3 days.
During the final round, Costas replaced Carbon units for many in the field.
Scott Martin sight-fished. Terry Bolton busted a 27-pound sack by looking at them.
Josh Weaver jumped on the sight train too. He caught one fish.
Full disclosure: Weaver admits he passed over a bunch of 2-pounders while burning miles of bank looking for the 30-pound bag he figured he would need in order to contend for the win.
Latimer even went looking for a short period. He missed 2 fish and figured he needed to get back out to his flat on the Flint River that held big pre-spawn females. He added a pair of 3-pounders to close out the win. Good call, B. Lat!
LATIMER IS CHAMPION AT FLW TOUR AT LAKE SEMINOLE PRESENTED BY COSTA
South Carolina Pro Earns First Career Tour Victory, Wins $100,000
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (March 10, 2019) – In one of the most dramatic finishes in recent FLW Tour history, fourth-year FLW Tour pro Brian Latimer of Belton, South Carolina, brought a five-bass limit to the scale weighing 21 pounds, 3 ounces to win the FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa Sunday and the first-place prize of $100,000.
Latimer’s four-day total of 20 bass totaling 80 pounds, 15 ounces edged out Day One leader Braxton Setzer of Montgomery, Alabama (78-14), who finished second and 21-year-old pro Sheldon Collings of Grove, Oklahoma (76-2), in third place.
All day long Latimer, Setzer and Collings traded blows, landing one big one after another much to the thrill of the thousands of viewers that tuned in to watch the day’s action on FLW Live. As the broadcast came to an end at 2 p.m. Latimer was in third place, but only had three bass in his livewell. Latimer added two more keepers late in the day to overtake Setzer and Collings and earned the South Carolina pro his first career victory.
“I have fished for so long, and I always knew that I could do this,” an emotional Latimer said on the weigh-in stage. “I didn’t do well, for a long time. This is not an easy sport. But I knew I could do it, and I kept going. All I’ve ever wanted to do was fish for a living. To win the $100,000 is great, but to finally have my trophy… that is so awesome.”
Latimer caught his fish on Day One Thursday by cranking a current seam in the Flint River with a Bill Lewis MR-6 crankbait, bringing a solid limit weighing 19-1 to the scale. Friday, he caught a few fish cranking, but the majority came from a run down the river to a flat with isolated clumps of grass. He scrapped up a limit weighing 17-11, then decided to stick it out on the flat for the final two days of competition, weighing in 23-0 and 21-3 to slam the door and earn the win.
“Friday is when I figured out that I was on the winning school of fish,” Latimer said. “I did the majority of my damage at a big hydrilla and milfoil flat. I told my wife that if I can get five bites there, every day, I could win this tournament. I stuck it out there, and that’s what happened.
Latimer’s one-two punch on the flat was flipping a Texas-rigged Z-Man Palmetto Bugz with a 1/2-ounce weight or finessing them out with a wacky-rigged Zoom Trick Worm.
“It was stressful – probably the most stressful thing that I have ever been through,” said Latimer. “I lost quite a few fish this week, but I kept my composure. I wasn’t getting many bites. I had to stay focused, and I’m just so blessed that I caught what I did.
The top 10 pros on Lake Seminole finished:
1st: Brian Latimer, Belton, S.C., 20 bass, 80-15, $102,500
2nd: Braxton Setzer, Montgomery, Ala., 17 bass, 78-14, $30,200

SOUTH CAROLINA’S LATIMER MOVES INTO LEAD AT FLW TOUR AT LAKE SEMINOLE PRESENTED BY COSTA
Fourth-Year Pro Seeks First Tour Win, Brings 1-pound, 10-ounce Lead into Final Day
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (March 9, 2019) – The weather threw anglers a curveball Saturday morning at the FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa. A heavy, dense fog settled in over Lake Seminole and greeted the pros as they arrived to the Earle May Boat Basin in Bainbridge, prompting FLW Tournament Director Bill Taylor to delay takeoff for a little over an hour due to the low visibility.
Around 8:15 a.m., after the fog had lifted, the 30 anglers that qualified to fish the weekend embarked on Day Three of competition. Pro Brian Latimer of Belton, South Carolina moved into the top spot after bringing a limit weighing 23 pounds even to the scale.
The field is now trimmed to the final 10 pros for Sunday, and Latimer (15 bass, 59-12) will start with a slim 1-pound, 10-ounce lead over second-place pro Braxton Setzer of Montgomery, Alabama, (15 bass, 58-2) who led the first day of competition. Also in striking distance is Sheldon Collings of Grove, Oklahoma, (15 bass, 56-2) who sits in third place. The four-day competition features 165 of the world’s best bass-fishing anglers competing for a top cash award of up to $125,000.
“It might look like I had a really good day, but I only caught six fish,” said Latimer, who is fishing in his 26th career FLW Tour event. “I had nothing until 10 a.m., then I just started catching them slowly, one at a time, like every hour. I knew that if I could ever get five bites in the area I was fishing that I’d catch 20+ pounds, and today that finally happened.”
Latimer put a charge into the FLW Live broadcast Saturday morning, boating a 6-pounder on a wacky-rig two hours into the broadcast. He stayed in the same area for the entire day, grinding out six keepers.
“The current had pushed a lot of muddy water out of my area and it was crystal clear this morning,” Latimer said. “They wouldn’t bite flipping, so I had to go with the wacky rig. Tomorrow, unless the wind blows all night, it should be clear so I’ll start with the wacky-rig again. If the wind picks up and blows in muddy water from the river then I’ll have to pick them off by flipping.”
Latimer is already guaranteed to have the highest finish of his young career this week, yet seemed to have the confidence of an angler that has been fishing for many years. When asked about any nerves heading into the final day, the South Carolina pro said he had nothing to worry about.
“I’ve got no nerves – I’ve got one place to fish and two baits to throw. If I stay focused, land my bites and catch five, I think I can do it again. Fishing is momentum, and right now everything is working out right for me. I really feel like I can catch them again.”
The top 10 pros advancing to the final day of competition Sunday on Lake Seminole are:
1st: Brian Latimer, Belton, S.C., 15 bass, 59-12
2nd: Braxton Setzer, Montgomery, Ala., 12 bass, 58-2
3rd: Sheldon Collings, Grove, Okla., 15 bass, 56-2

South Carolina's Beavers Moves into Lead at FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa
2017 FLW Series Champion Paces Field into Weekend Cut, Thrift’s Limit Streak Comes to an End at 71
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (March 8, 2019) – Pro Bradford Beavers of Summerville, South Carolina, caught five bass weighing 18 pounds, 12 ounces Friday to take control of the leaderboard after Day Two of the FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa. Beavers’ two-day total of 10 bass weighing 43 pounds, 14 ounces gives him a 3-pound advantage heading into Day Three of the four-day competition that features 165 of the world’s best bass-fishing anglers competing for a top cash award of up to $125,000.
Although Beavers’ 18-pound, 12-ounce limit was an impressive sight on the stage, the South Carolina pro admits that he had to grind it out for the entire day. He boated four keepers in a 45-minute window right away Friday morning, then didn’t boat his fifth keeper until just three minutes before having to leave the water and head to weigh-in.
“I hooked seven fish today, but only got five of them to the boat,” said Beavers, the 2017 Costa FLW Series Champion. “I was around them. They would bump my bait, but they just weren’t going to eat.
“I spent three hours there this morning, then I finally gave up and ran around looking for another bite the rest of the day,” Beavers continued. “I don’t know if the fish are becoming more educated or the weather is changing their habits.”
Beavers said that he caught all of his fish Friday on a bladed jig.
“I finally got my last one with just three minutes left in the day,” Beavers said. “It was a huge window with nothing happening.
“Tomorrow my plan is to just go hit the one area where I have been catching them, and then just run some new water from there,” Beavers went on to say. “I’ll probably stay shallow. I don’t have anything else worth going back to, and it just takes too long to find them out deep. I hope I can find them.”
The top 30 pros that made the cut and will fish Saturday on Lake Seminole are:
1st: Bradford Beavers, Summerville, S.C., 10 bass, 43-14
2nd: Sheldon Collings, Grove, Okla., 10 bass, 40-14
3rd: Rob Kilby, Hot Springs, Ark., 10 bass, 38-15
4th: Kurt Mitchell, Milford, Del., 10 bass, 37-5
5th: Brian Latimer, Belton, S.C., 10 bass, 36-12
6th: Greg Bohannan, Bentonville, Ark., 10 bass, 36-3
7th: Hunter Freeman, Monroe, La., 10 bass, 35-5
8th: Joshua Weaver, Macon, Ga., 10 bass, 34-7
9th: Joseph Webster, Winfield, Ala., eight bass, 34-6
10th: Braxton Setzer, Montgomery, Ala., seven bass, 33-10
11th: Tyler Woolcott, Port Orange, Fla., eight bass, 33-2
12th: Miles Howe, San Juan Capistrano, Calif., nine bass, 32-12
13th: Scott Martin, Clewiston, Fla., 10 bass, 32-7
14th: Billy McCaghren, Mayflower, Ark., 10 bass, 32-5
15th: Jimmy Brewer, Marshall, Texas, 10 bass, 31-0
16th: Jared McMillan, Belle Glade, Fla., 10 bass, 30-12
17th: Ryan Salzman, Huntsville, Ala., 10 bass, 29-11
18th: Rapala pro Terry Bolton, Benton, Ky., 10 bass, 29-1
19th: Russell Cecil, Willis, Texas, nine bass, 28-9
20th: Matt Becker, Finleyville, Pa., 10 bass, 28-8
21st: Buddy Gross, Chickamauga, Ga., seven bass, 28-7
22nd: Jason Abram, Piney Flats, Tenn., 10 bass, 28-2
23rd: Miles Burghoff, Hixson, Tenn., 10 bass, 27-15
24th: Costa pro Dylan Hays, El Dorado, Ark., 10 bass, 27-0
25th: Andy Young, Isle, Minn., 10 bass, 26-13
26th: Matt Reed, Madisonville, Texas, 10 bass, 26-10
27th: Tommy Dickerson, Orange, Texas, nine bass, 26-8
28th: Kurt Dove, Del Rio, Texas, seven bass, 26-6
29th: Chris McCall, Palmer, Texas, nine bass, 26-3
30th: Jacob Wall, Jacksonville, Ore., eight bass, 26-0
Full results for the entire field can be found at FLWFishing.com.
Pro Bryan Thrift’s remarkable streak of 71 consecutive five-bass limits weighed in FLW Tour competition came to an end Friday as the Shelby, North Carolina pro weighed in just one fish totaling 2 pounds, 1 ounce. Thrift’s streak began in May of 2015 at the FLW Tour at Pickwick Lake. Thrift’s mark of 71 smashed the all-time professional bass fishing record of 57 set by Kevin Van Dam on the Bassmaster Elite Series. The previous all-time FLW Tour record was 50, set by pro Cody Meyer in 2014. Thrift finished the event with six bass for 12-7 and finished in 130th place.
Todd Castledine of Nacogdoches, Texas, earned Friday’s $500 Big Bass award in the pro division after bringing a largemouth weighing 8-pounds, 13-ounces to the scale.
Overall there were 596 bass weighing 1,528 pounds, 11 ounces caught by 157 pros Friday. The catch included 79 five-bass limits.
In FLW Tour competition, the full field of 165 pro anglers competed in the two-day opening round on Thursday and Friday. The top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight now advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.
The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa is more than $860,000. The tournament is hosted by the Bainbridge Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2019 FLW Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2019 FLW Cup will be on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 9-11 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.

B.A.S.S. Names Leading Student Athletes To 2019 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team
March 5, 2019
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Sixty-two outstanding high school anglers from across the country have been named to the 2019 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.
The students were selected for the honor based on their success in bass tournament competition, academic achievement and leadership in conservation and community service.
“The Bassmaster High School All-American program recognizes the best young anglers in the nation,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “These student athletes are at the top of our sport both with their tournament success and academic achievements. We are proud to honor their accomplishments on a national level.”
To be considered for the All-State Fishing Team, a student must have been nominated by a parent, coach, teacher or other school official. Students currently enrolled in grades 10-12 with a current-year grade point average of 2.5 or higher were eligible.
B.A.S.S. received more than 400 nominations from across the nation. From these, judges selected 62 student anglers from 35 states to make the All-State Fishing Team. In addition, 32 students received Honorable Mentions recognizing them for their tournament success as well as community service and academic achievement.
“These qualifiers are helping shape the future of our sport,” said Hank Weldon, senior manager of the B.A.S.S. High School program. “Their enthusiasm for sportfishing and their communities is exceptional, and we can only imagine what the future holds for these anglers.
“We are extremely proud to see our Bassmaster All-American program flourish, and we congratulate these student anglers on their success on and off the water.”
A second panel of judges will review nominations of the 62 All-State team members and select the 12 members of the 2019 Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. As in All-State judging, criteria include success in high school fishing tournaments, involvement in conservation efforts and other community service activities.
The 12 finalists will compete in a one-day Bassmaster All-American High School Bass Tournament held during the 2019 Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest benefiting Texas Parks and Wildlife Department event, a fan-favorite festival that will take place May 2-6 on Lake Fork out of Emory, Texas.

FIFTH-ANNUAL YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING OPEN SET FOR KENTUCKY/BARKLEY LAKES
GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. (March 5, 2019) – FLW College Fishing is set to return to FLW’s home waters, March 12-13 for the fifth annual YETI FLW College Fishing Open at Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. The tournament, hosted by the Kentucky Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau and Moors Resort & Marina, allows registration from any eligible college team from across the United States, regardless of division. Anglers who finish within the top 20, along with one additional team for every 10 teams over 200 competing, will automatically qualify for the 2020 YETI FLW College Fishing National Championship, and the champions will take home a new Ranger Z175 boat with a 115-horsepower outboard – a $30,000 package.
The annual FLW College Fishing Open is widely known as one of the largest college fishing tournaments in the nation – last year’s event drew 216 teams from across the country. Another huge field is expected for the 2019 event, with many of the future stars of tomorrow competing, including record-setting 5-time College Fishing National Championship qualifier K.J. Queen from Bethel University and Kash Daniel, star linebacker for the University of Kentucky, who will be taking his talents from the gridiron to the water to compete for the UK bass-fishing team.
“From what I’ve heard, the lake is supposed to start dropping a foot a day, so barring any more rain, they should be fishing falling water,” said Rapala pro Terry Bolton of Benton, Kentucky, a 24-year FLW Tour veteran. “The lake has been high for a while and I think that will create some opportunities. There should be heavy current generation, so it will be about finding little eddies and bars and points where those fish can stack up. My guess is the winning team will probably find one spot and that’s all they’ll need, and they’ll catch most of their weight in one place first thing in the morning.
“Overall, I think it’s probably going to be dominated by crankbaits, like a [Rapala] DT10 or DT6, big spinnerbaits, and even an umbrella rig. With the color of water, I still think it’s going to be a moving-bait type tournament,” said Bolton. “You may see a jig play a little bit. The jerkbait bite may be a little tough with the color of the water, but we’ll see what happens as the water falls, it may clear up creeks and other areas.”
The longtime Tour pro finished by saying he predicts the winning duo will have a two-day catch weighing 42 pounds.
The registration meeting for the Open will take place Monday, March 11, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at Moors Resort and Marina located at 570 Moors Road in Gilbertsville, with a pre-tournament meeting following registration at 6 p.m. The entire field of competitors will compete both days of the tournament.
Anglers will take off from Moors Resort and Marina at 7 a.m. CST on both days of competition. Weigh-ins will be held lakeside at the Resort each day, beginning at 3:00 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public.
YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats. The Potomac River and Marbury, Maryland, will play host to the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship, June 4-6, 2019.

ALABAMA’S SETZER LEADS DAY ONE OF FLW TOUR AT LAKE SEMINOLE PRESENTED BY COSTA
Courtesy of FLW Outdoors
Three Anglers Bring 25+ Pound Limits to the Scale
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (March 7, 2019) – Pro Braxon Setzer of Montgomery, Alabama, brought a five-bass limit to the scale weighing 25 pounds, 15 ounces to jump out to the early lead after Day One of the FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa. Fellow Alabaman Joseph Webster of Winfield (25-9) and Bradford Beavers of Summerville, South Carolina (25-2) are right behind Setzer in second and third place as the four-day tournament, which features 165 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals casting for a top award of up to $125,000, heads into Day Two.
“This morning I pulled into a spot near the area where I wanted to start and thought that I would fish my way up to it. I started fishing, then watched Joseph (Webster) idle right over to where I wanted to be, sit down and commence to just whacking them,” said Setzer, a four-year FLW Tour veteran with one previous FLW Cup appearance. “I thought to myself, ‘Oh my goodness, what a stupid call on my part.’ I struggled with that, but then I settled down and just picked apart the area that I was in.
“I caught a limit by 9:30,” Setzer continued. “The fishing was slower than I was hoping it was going to be, but it was a bigger area and took me a long time to pick it apart.”
Setzer said the spot was mainly deeper grass, with his most success coming from an area he described as a ditch that runs up into a flat. He caught seven keepers there – on two different baits – then left the spot around 11 a.m.
“The bite died off, so I ran down to another stretch of grass that I liked and ended up culling two fish there,” Setzer said. “It was very slow and was an hour or two between bites, but when I got bit it was a good one.”
Setzer tallied just nine bass total throughout the day. He said his plan for tomorrow was mainly to keep his options open.
“There is obviously a bunch of fish in my main area, but it’ll be interesting to see what the weather and the boat pressure does to it,” Setzer went on to say. “I don’t know if I’ll stay with it as long as I did today. I may have to run around and fish some new water. I think I’ve got maybe one or two more areas that I can get bit off of.”
The top 10 pros after day one on Lake Seminole are:
1st: Braxton Setzer, Montgomery, Ala., five bass, 25-15
2nd: Joseph Webster, Winfield, Ala., five bass, 25-9
3rd: Bradford Beavers, Summerville, S.C., five bass, 25-2
4th: Sheldon Collings, Grove, Okla., five bass, 23-14
5th: Rob Kilby, Hot Springs, Ark., five bass, 23-3
6th: Kurt Dove, Del Rio, Texas, five bass, 20-5
7th: Tyler Woolcott, Port Orange, Fla., five bass, 19-14
8th: Miles Howe, San Juan Capistrano, Calif., five bass, 19-13
9th: Dicky Newberry, Houston, Texas, five bass, 19-7
10th: Brian Latimer, Belton, S.C., five bass, 19-1
For a full list of results visit FLWFishing.com.
Beavers earned Thursday’s $500 Big Bass award in the pro division after bringing a largemouth weighing 7-pounds, 5-ounces to the scale.
Overall there were 573 bass weighing 1,551 pounds, 1 ounce caught by 154 pros Thursday. The catch included 72 five-bass limits.
In FLW Tour competition, the full field of 165 pro anglers compete in the two-day opening round Thursday and Friday. The top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.
The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Seminole presented by Costa is more than $860,000. The tournament is hosted by the Bainbridge Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2019 FLW Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2019 FLW Cup will be on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 9-11 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.

The What, When, and Where of Fishing Low-Vis Braid to Up Your Big Bass Odds
Louisville, KY (March 7, 2019) – If you’re like a lot of anglers, then you frequently wonder about the what, when, and where of fishing braid over monofilament or fluorocarbon on big bass waters. You’re not alone. Choosing the right line for the presentation and application is indeed a large part of the big fish formula.
That said, we caught up with Alabama-based pro bass angler Mark Daniels Jr. while prepping for the biggest bass tournament on the planet, the upcoming Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville, Tennessee. Like a lot of other anglers, he was carefully considering how he was going to fish and what line was best for dozens of baitcasting reels he was busy spooling with various Seaguar line.
For the sake of this piece, Daniels focuses purely on power fishing techniques with baitcasting gear but is quick to mention that Seaguar braid has become standard on his finesse spinning gear, too, typically with a fluorocarbon leader.

“First, let’s talk about the line itself. It’s my opinion that Seaguar Smackdown Braid—whether it’s Hi-Vis Green or Low-Vis Stealth Gray—is bar none the best casting line out there. It’s smoothness is unparalleled and it’s incredibly symmetrical, very round, and that’s where you get the smoothness from. It’s not grinding in your guides, which for me is a big turn-off, because I feel like a lot of times other lines can damage your rods. But you don’t have that with the Seaguar Smackdown Braid—it’s an eight-strand woven braid, the basis of that symmetry, and why it just fishes smooth and casts great,” says Daniels.
When it comes to techniques, Daniels says he’s fishing braid more and more all the time, especially now that there’s a low visibility option in Seaguar Low-Vis Stealth Gray Braid. From topwaters to flipping, to ripping Rat-L-Traps through grass, as well as chatterbaits and swimjigs, he says the majority of the rods and reels on the deck of his boat are spooled these days with Seaguar braid.
“As far as the applications go, there are a host of techniques where braid excels. I’m a guy, anytime I’m fishing a topwater, I’ve got Seaguar Smackdown Low-Vis Stealth Gray braid on. Years past, I used to use a lot of monofilament with topwaters, but in my opinion, monofilament’s pretty much obsolete. The little bit I do have laying around the house I use as filler backing whenever I’m putting some different line on top. I’m not using it whatsoever. But topwaters, absolutely, braid is my choice. Whether it’s a walking-style bait, a frog, a buzzbait, my go-to set-up is going to be the Stealth Gray. With my walking-style baits like a popper or a Zara Spook, I’m going to go with 40-lb. braid; with my frogs and buzzbaits—any big baits where I’m liable to encounter a lot of heavy cover – or I might be throwing a big wake bait or a rat—I’m going to go with the 50-lb. Stealth Gray.”
He continues: “Other applications to use Smackdown Low-Vis Stealth Gray braid include flipping in heavy cover where the water may be a bit more clear than normal, but it’s still too thick to feel comfortable with fluorocarbon. 50-lb. test would be my recommendation. It just blends into the environment; camouflages really well. So you’re able to maintain a stealthy approach.”
Daniels is also a big fan of braid for the highly-specialized technique of ripping Rat-L-Traps through the grass, like what anglers encounter on waters like Sam Rayburn and Lake Guntersville, but is certainly an approach that will work on other grass-populated waters coast to coast.
“There are some situations when I’ll throw a Rat-L-Trap on braid. My recommendation there is 40-lb. Low-Vis Stealth Gray Smackdown. With this technique you’re making super long casts and without braid you can’t get that bait to pop out of the grass and trigger a strike like you need to. So that’s a situation when I’d go with braid, but you want to make sure you’re using a softer rod because we all know with those treble hooks you can lose a lot of fish with the technique.”
Akin to that is Daniels’ approach to fishing chatterbaits in areas with heavy grass.
“If the grass is really thick, like on Okeechobee or Toho, I’ll use braid instead of fluorocarbon with a chatterbait. I need the action of the chatterbait on a long cast, which braid necessitates, and as soon as it encounters grass I need to get it out of that grass. Smackdown will keep it tracking true so I can get that bite.”
Daniels is also open to sharing an under-the-radar technique that’s won him a lot of money over the years, and that’s fishing swim jigs in a unique way that also makes braid a perfect choice.
“I’ll also use braid with a swim jig. I’ll fish a swim jig probably different than a lot of anglers; I I put them way back in the nasty, thick stuff and almost hop ‘em like a frog, just a little bit sub-surface and work through a lot of thick vegetation. It’s a technique I absolutely love to fish around lily pads, any kind of water vegetation like water hyacinth, water primrose, water willow—there are so many different kinds of grasses that live in these lakes—but I’ll swim a jig through that stuff constantly popping it and 50 lb. Smackdown Low-Vis Stealth Gray is definitely my go-to line for this.”
Looking forward to the Bassmaster Classic, Daniels says he definitely hopes the fish are coming along in the pre-spawn stage and the relentless rain and flooding quits to give anglers some stable conditions on the water. Whatever the case, know that Daniels will be pre-fishing soon and guarantees he’ll be fishing techniques where Seaguar’s new Smackdown Low-Vis Stealth Gray braid will undoubtedly come into play.

CAL POLY WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING WESTERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT ON LAKE MEAD PRESENTED BY BASS PRO SHOPS
HENDERSON, Nev. (March 4, 2019) – The California Polytechnic State University duo of Jesse Wilson of Atascadero, California, and Daniel Papp of Salinas, California, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Mead presented by Bass Pro Shops Saturday with a five-bass limit weighing 11 pounds, 4 ounces. The victory earned the Mustang’s bass club $2,000 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.
“We were fishing out of a 17½-foot Tracker Boat – the smallest boat in the field,” said Papp, a freshman majoring in Agricultural Systems Management. “Because of that, we couldn’t go far, but that turned out to be the right decision.
“We were fishing the outside brush lines in a few different cuts and coves,” Papp continued. “I caught our first fish on a 3½-inch Strike King Pro Tube (green-pumpkin and purple fleck) early. That spot wasn’t producing any more bites, so we went to our next cut and were targeting secondary points with swimbaits. Jesse caught the next two keepers – the biggest bites of the day – on a pro blue and red pearl-colored Keitech Easy Shiner.”
Around 9 a.m. the sun came out, and Papp said that it shut the fishing down. The Mustang duo didn’t catch their final two keepers until just 30 minutes before check in.
“The waves were brutal, so we were forced to head back to the cove near the launch ramp,” Papp said. “We managed to catch two more at the end of the day – both smallmouth. Our fifth keeper literally came on my very last cast. It turned out to be the winning fish.”
The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:
1st: California Polytechnic State University – Jesse Wilson, Atascadero, Calif., and Daniel Papp, Salinas, Calif., five bass, 11-4, $2,000
2nd: Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus – Dillon Davis, Queen Creek, Ariz., and Travis Race, Tempe, Ariz., three bass, 10-9, $1,400
3rd: Northern Arizona University – Levi Wittrock, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Gunnar Stanton, Boulder City, Nev., five bass, 9-0, $700
4th: Grand Canyon University – Joseph Dwyer, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Tommy Sendek, Tucson, Ariz., four bass, 7-8, $950
5th: California Polytechnic State University – Hugh Cosculluela, The Woodlands, Texas., and Patrick Ellis, San Diego, Calif., four bass, 7-0, $750
6th: Arizona State University – John Herrero, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Logan Mueller, Gilbert, Ariz., three bass, 6-11
7th: New Mexico State University – Ty Faulconer, Santa Clarita, Calif., and Daylon Smith, Frazier Park, Calif., four bass, 5-13
8th: Arizona State University – Ryan Slivkoff and A.J. Holland, both of Tempe, Ariz., three bass, 5-11, $250
9th: Arizona State University – Brandon Cook, Gilroy, Calif., and Steven Latino, Chandler, Ariz., two bass, 5-7
10th: California State University-Long Beach – Cole Thomas, Lakewood, Calif., two bass, 3-4
Complete results for the entire field can be found at FLWFishing.com.
The YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Mead presented by Bass Pro Shops was hosted by the Henderson Chamber of Commerce Cultural Arts and Tourism Department. It was the first of three regular-season qualifying tournaments for Western Conference anglers. The next event for FLW College Fishing anglers will be the 2019 FLW College Fishing Open, March 12-13 at Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.
YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats.

BECKUM WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL SAVANNAH RIVER DIVISION TOURNAMENT ON CLARKS HILL LAKE
Co-angler Title Awarded to Honea Path’s Henderson
APPLING, Ga. (March 4, 2019) – Boater Adam Beckum of Martinez, Georgia, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 22 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Savannah River Division tournament on Clarks Hill Lake. Beckum pocketed $4,011 for his efforts.
“I fished secondary points, catching fish that were moving in – coming from the deep to the shallows,” said Beckum, who earned his second career victory in BFL competition – first as a boater. “I probably fished 10 or 15 areas, including some in the Little River, Chigoe Creek and Keg Creek. I sat in 15 feet of water and threw up into 8 or 10 feet. I’d hit a couple of spots in each creek and then work my back through.”
Beckum said he used a black and blue-colored Ketch-Her Lures jig with a green-pumpkin Zoom Super Chunk trailer to catch his fish, adding that he caught nine keepers during the tournament.
“Most of my bites came after 10 (a.m.). I got bit at some spots in the afternoon that didn’t produce for me in the morning.”
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: Adam Beckum, Martinez, Ga., five bass, 22-10, $4,011
2nd: Pete Fargo, Marietta, Ga., five bass, 18-5, $1,693
3rd: Heath Pack, Ellijay, Ga., five bass, 17-11, $1,129
4th: Jeff Babcock, Fairview, N.C., five bass, 17-1, $890
5th: Daulton Smith, Lavonia, Ga., five bass, 16-13, $677
6th: Jeremy Eaton, Dahlonega, Ga., five bass, 16-3, $621

KNEPPER WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL COWBOY DIVISION TOURNAMENT ON SAM RAYBURN RESERVOIR
Nacogdoches’ Moore Wins Co-angler Title
BROOKELAND, Texas (March 4, 2019) – Boater Jeremy Knepper of Montgomery, Texas, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 27 pounds, 9 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Cowboy Division tournament on Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Knepper took home $5,261 for his efforts.
Knepper said he caught his fish flipping bushes along an approximately 200-yard stretch near Veach Basin. He said he’d had some success at the area in practice, and decided to return to it during the event.
“The stretch had some bushes with deep water nearby. During practice, I had only gotten five bites – including a 6-pounder – and lost a good one at the boat,” said Knepper, who logged his first win in FLW competition. “It was one of those deals where I knew that if I could get five bites during the tournament, they’d be the right ones, but I wasn’t sure that I could get those five bites.”
Knepper said he arrived at the area first thing in the morning and within about 10 minutes, put a 9-pounder in the boat.
“I flipped into a bush, felt a hard tug and boat-flipped it. That one calmed me down. With the water dropping and the weather changing like it is, I wasn’t sure that the pattern was going to hold. But that one told me they were there,” said Knepper. “About 10 or 15 minutes later I caught one of my 5-pounders. I looked at the clock and saw it was about 8:15 (a.m.) and I knew I was way ahead of schedule.”
Knepper said he got a couple more bites, but could tell he had hit a mid-morning lull, so he decided to let the area rest.
“I didn’t want to go back through - I wanted to let it sit. You had to let the stretch rest and reload,” said Knepper. “I spent about two hours running the bank looking for similar water before coming back to the stretch. Then I got a 6-pounder and then a 5-pounder toward the end of it. With four fish in the boat, I let it rest again, and caught my fifth around 2 (p.m.).”
The Texas boater said he used one bait to catch his fish – a ½-ounce, Texas-rigged, Hematoma-colored Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver on an Owner Jungle flipping hook.
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: Jeremy Knepper, Montgomery, Texas, five bass, 27-9, $5,261
2nd: Brandon Thrash, Downsville, La., five bass, 24-13, $2,931
3rd: Bryan Trahan, Orange, Texas, five bass, 20-1, $2,573
4th: Randy Deaver, Blanchard, La., five bass, 19-14, $1,428

MAHAFFEY WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL VOLUNTEER DIVISION OPENER ON WATTS BAR LAKE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS
Knoxville’s Coker Takes Co-angler Title
ROCKWOOD, Tenn. (March 4, 2019) – Boater Jeffrey Mahaffey of Bristol, Tennessee, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 20 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Volunteer Division opener on Watts Bar Lake presented by Navionics. Mahaffey earned $3,164 for his catch.
“I targeted isolated laydowns mid-lake. The area near takeoff at Tom Fuller Park was especially productive for me – I caught two over 5 pounds there,” said Mahaffey, who earned his first career win in FLW competition. “I primarily ran shallow cover off the bank, but capitalized on the deeper stuff that was maybe 50 to 75 yards off of the bank, if I saw it. I probably hit around 25 pockets, but targeted just a handful of trees – many only had one tree in them.”
Mahaffey said he leaned on two custom baits from Jerry’s Bait Shop in Rockwood to put together his limit – a ½-ounce and a ¾-ounce double-willow spinnerbait with white and blue coloring, each with a chartreuse Zoom Straight Tail Worm trailer.
“The shallower bites came from 6 to 8 feet down. You had to fish the ends of the trees – when the spinnerbait kind of came out of the tree and fell off the end, that’s when you’d get a bite,” said Mahaffey. “The deeper cover off the bank behind me was in 8 to 10 feet of water. That’s when I’d switch to the ¾-ounce [spinnerbait] and really let it sink down and get to the base.”
Mahaffey said he ended up catching 10 keepers throughout the day.
“Both of these patterns were fishing extremely slow – you really had to slow roll the spinnerbaits to get a bite,” said Mahaffey.
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: Jeffrey Mahaffey, Bristol, Tenn., five bass, 20-10, $3,164
2nd: Jonathan Bowling, Harriman, Tenn., five bass, 17-10, $1,782
3rd: Nick Huff, Bean Station, Tenn., five bass, 17-7, $1,154
4th: Matt Linton, Kingston, Tenn., five bass, 17-4, $738
5th: Jason Sosebee, Knoxville, Tenn., five bass, 17-3, $633
6th: Brad Mattie, Oak Ridge, Tenn., five bass, 17-2, $580
7th: Chase Henley, Kingston, Tenn., five bass, 16-14, $527
8th: Jeff Knight, Cleveland, Tenn., five bass, 16-10, $855

10th: Tyler Meredith, Oliver Springs, Tenn., five bass, 16-4, $369

Evers puts brakes on Conroe 8-pounder to capture Bonus Bucks
Alan McGuckin from Dynamic Sponsorships
When you catch an 8-pounder in the final minutes of an event you already appear destined to win, the old saying, “when it’s your day, it’s your day” begins to hold water like the Lake Conroe Dam.
“I had been pitching a Texas-rigged Berkley Pit Boss to undercut banks most of the day to catch my fish, and then decided to throw a drop shot in the final minutes when that 8-pounder bit,” says Lake Conroe’s Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour Champion Edwin Evers.
It was the first bass Evers caught all week on a drop shot, but the Toyota Tundra he towed his Nitro to weigh-in at La Torretta Resort is either his fifth or sixth. He’s not sure.
“Man, I’ve lost count of how many Toyota Tundras I’ve bought to be honest with you, but I think this is my fifth or sixth,” grinned the former college football defensive back from Talala, Oklahoma.
What Evers knows for sure is the towing and braking power of his Tundra are critical to the safety of his illustrious career.
“What I love most about a Toyota Tundra is what I call “the go and the stop” – that 381 horsepower engine has a ton of towing power, but a Tundra also has huge oversized brakes to stop 4,000 pounds of boat and motor, plus no tellin’ how much weight in fishing tackle and other equipment I’m carrying,” says Evers.
“Everybody thinks about towing power when they’re buying a truck, but you really need to think about whether the truck you’re buying has the braking system necessary to stop what you’re towing in a safe way,” advises Evers.
Evers gives good advice on towing safety, and he also did a fantastic job of putting the brakes on that giant 8-pounder with a spinning reel at Conroe, but you don’t have to be a Major League Fishing pro to cash in on Toyota Bonus Bucks. You just have to drive a 2015 or newer Toyota Truck, sign up Free for Bonus Bucks, and be the highest finishing registered participant in one of the dozens of tournaments supported by the program.

Getting to know Carhartt College Series Bassmaster Classic qualifier Nick Ratliff
Alan McGuckin from Dynamic Sponsorships
Only a handful of young college anglers have earned the right to compete in bass fishing’s biggest event the past 48 years. This year, it’s Nick Ratliff, an easy-going 22 year old senior majoring in business and marketing at Campbellsville University in Kentucky who will test his youthful but proven ability to catch bass against the world’s best.
The Classic takes place March 15-17 on the rivers surrounding Knoxville, Tennessee, and Ratliff was gracious enough to give fishing fans a chance to get to know him better amid a quick Q & A just days before he heads south to East Tennessee.
What is your earliest fishing memory?
Ratliff:Probably my dad and Papaw taking me to my grandparents’ house to fish at Kentucky Lake from about the time I could walk.
What’s the coolest thing about participating in the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series?
Ratliff:The people I’ve met, and all the awesome places we’ve been able to travel to. I’ve met some of my very best friends through fishing these events.
If you could take us on the perfect fishing trip, where would we go, and how would we catch them?
Ratliff:We’d go to Green River Lake in Central Kentucky in late March and hammer ‘em on a big spinnerbait.
What three lures would you list as your all time favorites?
Ratliff:Berkley Digger 25.5 crankbait, Berkley Cane Walker topwater, and a Cumberland Pro Lures spinnerbait.
What music will you be listening to most in your Tundra throughout the tournament year ahead?
Ratliff:Koe Wetzel, Read Southhall and Casey Donahew.
One meal you could eat at least twice a week and never get tired of it?
Ratliff: Anything with pasta.
What do your parents do for a living?
Ratliff:My mom is a waitress, and my dad is a Carhartt wearing siding and aluminum guy.
Tell all of us who love to fish what Carhartt garments you love the most.
Ratliff:Carhartt Gilliam jacket– great for layering, and just an awesome all around jacket for daily wear. Storm Defender rain gear– keeps me warm and dry, but light enough to wear on sunny days without getting too hot. And Carhartt midweight base layers– as an avid waterfowler, and a person that fishes year-round, you learn pretty quick that staying warm starts with quality base layers from Carhartt.
What is your proudest fishing accomplishment?
Ratliff:Qualifying for the 2019 Bassmaster Classic, of course, but mostly that I get to have my family and friends there to share the experience and cheer me on.
What excites you most about competing in the Bassmaster Classic?
Ratliff:The fact this river system contains a lot of water really similar to what I’ve grown up fishing, and it’s only four hours from home. So again, I get to share it with the people I love most.
Stokes & Hogge Win Texas Team Trail Opener on Lake Travis with over 23 pound Limit
BOULDER CITY’S KLINGER WINS COSTA FLW SERIES ON LAKE MEAD PRESENTED BY RANGER BOATS
Klinger Earns Third Career Victory in FLW Competition, $32,778, Arizona’s Parks Takes Home New Ranger Boat as Co-Angler Champion
HENDERSON, Nev. (March 2, 2019) – Pro angler Tim Klinger of Boulder City, Nevada, brought the second-largest stringer of the entire tournament to the scale Saturday – a five-bass limit weighing 15 pounds, 4 ounces – to win the Costa FLW Series at Lake Mead presented by Ranger Boats. Klinger’s three-day total of 13 bass weighing 34 pounds, 12 ounces gave him the win by 4-pound, 12-ounce margin over second-place pro Lane Olson of Forest Grove, Oregon, and earned him the $32,778 prize in an exciting finale to the three-day event that kicked off the 2019 FLW Series Western Division season.
“The key for me this week was my confidence in my flipping,” said Klinger, who pushed his career earnings over the $600,000 mark in FLW competition. “I was born and raised on this lake, and I’m very comfortable fishing here.”
Klinger said he spent the first two days of the event flipping bushes in the Overton Arm of Lake Mead. He said that he caught four fish on the first day throwing a Beast Coast Tungsten Flipping jig with a Super Pork Bubba Frog trailer. On the second day, he switched to a Texas-rigged 4-inch green-pumpkin-colored craw and added another four keepers. On Day 3, the wind kept him closer to the takeoff so he spent the day in Boulder Basin, throwing a white ¾-ounce War Eagle spinnerbait, and caught 11 keepers, and the second-largest limit of the tournament.
“I caught a couple of smallmouth throughout the week, but all 13 of my keepers that made it to the scale were largemouth,” Klinger said. “All week long I was throwing my baits on a 7-foot, 6-inch, Taipan Rods Flipping Stick, with 20-pound fluorocarbon or 50-pound-test braided line.”
Klinger spent all three days of competition fishing shallow, and said that every fish he caught came between 2- and 9-feet-deep. The two-time FLW Cup qualifier was fishing in his 107th career event in FLW competition.
The top 10 pros on Lake Mead finished:
1st: Tim Klinger, Boulder City, Nev., 13 bass, 34-12, $32,778
2nd: Lane Olson, Forest Grove, Ore., 12 bass, 30-0, $12,724

Jesse Parks of Avondale, Arizona, won the Co-angler Division and a Ranger Z175 with a 115-horsepower outboard motor with a three-day total of nine bass weighing 23 pounds, 8 ounces.

UNA’s Calvert & Lane bust 29, Win FLW College event on Guntersville
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH ALABAMA WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT ON LAKE GUNTERSVILLE PRESENTED BY BASS PRO SHOPS
Link to photo of winning team University of North Alabama
GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (March 4, 2019) – The University of North Alabama duo of Houston Calvert of Hayden, Alabama, and Justin Lane of Florence, Alabama, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Guntersville presented by Bass Pro Shops Friday with a five-bass limit weighing 29 pounds, 3 ounces. The victory earned the Lion’s bass club $2,400 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.
“We had three or four days of sunshine where it was 60 to 72 degrees, and I think a big wave was pushing up,” said Calvert, a senior majoring in marketing. “As you can tell, everybody found that. That’s the biggest weights I’ve seen in a college tournament. I really wanted it to be 30 pounds. I really thought we had 30. It was close, but maybe another time.”
“It’s just left me speechless, to be honest with you,” added Lane, a junior business management major. “It was one of those days you dream about. It’s just incredible that it happened in a tournament for us. That’s the biggest bag I’ve ever caught in my life.”
The warm spell Calvert described sort of fizzled by the tournament as a cold front brought lower temps and rain, which the team thinks caused some of the fish that were headed for the bank in practice to slide back out into hydrilla beds.
That’s where the Lions found their winning fish, targeting a single pocket all day long.
“We started out throwing a ChatterBait in grass in 6 to 8 feet,” Calvert said. “We probably had, I want to say, 12 pounds within 30 to 45 minutes of blast off. It rained there for two to three hours, and we just moved up on the bank with it raining. He [Lane] threw a Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm, and I threw the NetBait Big Bopper. We were swimming them around hydrilla.”
The shallower shift mostly produced smaller bass due to all the bucks up on the bank, so once the rain quit, Lane and Calvert slid back out. Lane added a solid 4-plus keeper with a Rat-L-Trap, and gradually the team chipped away at a nice limit.
What sealed the deal was a pair of kickers late in the afternoon that left Calvert and Lane with a limit comprised of one keeper close to 7 pounds, three 6-pounders and one about 4.
“We saw some shad running in the grass,” Calvert recalled. “We sat down and cut off our green pumpkin and black and blue ChatterBaits and tied on a white ChatterBait with a Keitech FAT on the back of it. Once we changed to white, right before weigh-in we culled two – big time. I know we culled at 2:15, and once we made that last cull we put everything up and went to the ramp.
“I think if the weather was going to be warm next week they would be spawning,” Calvert went on to say. “They want to spawn so bad. There are a lot of bucks up shallow. We probably caught, I would say, 30 fish. Probably 20 of those were 2-pounders. The other 10 were anywhere from 3 to 6 pounds. Pretty much everybody I talked to caught 30 to 40 fish.”
The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:
1st: University of North Alabama – Houston Calvert, Hayden, Ala., and Justin Lane, Florence, Ala., five bass, 29-3, $2,400

Coffey takes over the Lake Mead Costa Lead Heading into Final Day
March 1, 2019 by Justin Onslow
Sean Coffey followed up a 14-pound, 1-ounce effort on day one with 11 pounds even Friday to take the lead at the Costa FLW Series Western Division opener on Lake Mead presented by Ranger Boats. Fishing was tough across the tournament field on day two, but Coffey found enough consistency to overtake previous leader Brett Leber.
Coffey did what many other anglers haven’t been able to do so far this week: piece together decent days back-to-back. Changing weather conditions and boat pressure in the Overton Arm area – by far the most popular section of the lake for anglers to fish so far – slowed the bite considerably for much of the field. Apart from Coffey, Moab, Utah’s Benjamin Byrd has been most successful at finding consistency, turning in bags of 12-6 and 12-7 for a 24-13 total and second place.
“I got a little nervous,” Coffey admits. “I thought I wasn’t going to get a limit there for a little while. I went three hours without a bite and then it kicked on a little bit.”
Coffey ran the same patterns in the same areas on day two as he did on day one, but after catching his limit on Friday, he went running and “pre-fishing” for Saturday in search of new water he can try to exploit should he need it. There’s a good chance that new water is in the Overton Arm, where he’s spent his entire tournament so far.
Despite forecasts calling for storms and high winds tomorrow – and despite how long of a run it is from takeoff to Overton – the 27-year-old pro fully intends on getting back to those spots. As he put it Thursday and reiterated following day two weigh-in, “rough water is part of it.”
Coffey has a good deal of experience on Mead, so making a long run on day three isn’t an unusual move. He has several US Opens under his belt on the fishery, and although most of his experience at Mead has come in the fall, Coffey is confident in his ability to navigate the lake and the pattern he's on.
“It was the same thing for me today,” he explains. “The blade bite wasn’t that good, and I was banking on that. I had to slow down with Texas-rigged Senkos.”
The submerged cover Coffey has been fishing – trees, mostly – isn’t easy to find on Mead. It’s a deep, rocky fishery that lends itself well to finesse techniques. Slowing down might be what saved his chances at a victory this weekend, and he’s feeling pretty good about those chances right now – as long as he can get to his fish.
Changing weather conditions haven’t affected Coffey’s consistency so far, so there’s little reason to believe a little rain and wind will hurt him on day three. In fact, a little wind (or a lot) could be good for the spinnerbait bite he relied on for most of his fish on Thursday.
“It’s going to be really tough, but I laid off on them a bit when I got my limit today,” he says. “I feel confident they’ll be there tomorrow.”
Top 10 Pros
1. Sean Coffey – Mesa, Ariz. – 25-1 (10)
2. Benjamin Byrd – Moab, Utah – 24-13 (10)
3. David Valdivia – Norwalk, Calif. – 20-1 (9)

10. Tyler Rempe – Sierra Vista, Ariz. – 18-7 (8)
PARKS CATAPULTS TO TOP OF CO-ANGLER LEADERBOARD
Co-angler Jesse Parks had a great day on Thursday. He bagged 10-9 on four fish and was sitting comfortably in fourth place heading into day two.
But as was the case on the pro side, consistency was key to his claiming the top spot with one day left to fish. Parks added three more fish for 9-4 and an impressive total of 19-13.
Parks definitely benefited from riding along with day one leader Brett Leber and Lane Olson (currently in seventh place), but he still had to catch them. For that, he opted for a slow, methodical approach he found in practice – a weightless, hand-poured worm.
Still, the changing weather conditions did give the 26-year-old some issues.
“I’m targeting some specific cover and it made it a lot more difficult to make a long cast because I couldn’t see it,” he explains. “The majority of my casts today were random until we got close enough to pitch to that cover.”
Parks credits one other tactic – a drop-shot –for a couple key smallmouths that put him over the top. He caught both late in the day, fishing slow and fishing patiently.
“The biggest thing is I think a lot of people aren’t paying attention to being patient,” he says. “I had two at 9:30 and didn’t catch another one until about 1:45.”

Leber Leads Day 1 of Lake Mead Costa Event
Courtesy of FLWfishing.com
February 28, 2019 by Justin Onslow
Brett Leber, who calls the California Delta and Lake Berryesa his home lakes, is no stranger to shallow-water fishing. He played to his strengths on day one of the Costa FLW Series Western Division event presented by Ranger Boats by fishing 6 feet or less of water with reaction baits to weigh in 15 pounds, 12 ounces of fish.
Leber has fished several US Opens on Mead – including a fourth-place finish – and is comfortable, confident and pleased with his day-one performance. He’s been drawing from much of that experience on the massive clear-water fishery so far, even fishing many of the same spots he’s done well at in the past.
The 59-year-old Californian got on them in practice this week, which only served to boost his confidence heading into Thursday. He landed an 8-pounder and a 5-pounder in two key spots he fished on day one in practice. Those areas had slightly stained water and were holding fish just starting to move up for the spawn. On a lake like Mead, stained water is hard to come by, but the steady, strong winds seem to be helping in Leber’s cause.
His approach has been fairly simple so far: Find shallow, stained water, preferably with some vegetation such as tulies or grass, and rely on a swim jig and swimbait to entice a reaction bite. While many others are fishing slow with finesse tactics, it’s slow power-fishing that’s serving Leber well.
His swim jig of choice this week is a 3/8- or 1/2-ounce Strike King KVD swim jig with a Strike King Rage Tail Craw trailer, both in green pumpkin with some other accents. For swimbaits, he’s using a 3.8 and 4.8 Keitech Swing Impact FAT on an Owner head.
His plan to replicate success on day two? Do it all pretty much the same.
“I’m going to start at the same spot tomorrow, and if I don’t catch them by 11 [o’clock], I’m going to run to my other spot,” he says. “I laid off them in practice [at those spots].”
Despite having a late boat draw and having to break in his new Nitro Z21 during the practice period, Leber made the most of his first session on Mead. He has an early boat draw on Friday, and with his spots already singled out, he’ll have a chance to find out exactly how many fish are left for the rest of the tournament. If the weather holds, fish will likely continue to move up to spawn, giving Leber more chances to employ the shallow-water techniques that work so well on California’s shallow, grass-heavy fisheries.
Still, Mead is fishing tough so far, despite the 15-plus-pounds it afforded Leber on day one. He only caught six fish in total (and lost a couple), so getting some quality bites might once again come down to preparation, skill and a little luck. In Vegas, sometimes a little luck is all you can ask for.
Top 10 Pros

2. Wade Curtiss – Lincoln, Calif. – 14-2 (5)

9. Joe Uribe Jr. – Surprise, Ariz. – 11-11 (5)
10. Brent James – Saint George, Utah – 11-1 (2)
ROMERO BAGS DOUBLE-DIGITS FOR SLIM LEAD
Ted Romero of Lakewood, Calif., can credit a lot of things for his co-angler lead following day one on Mead. It took skill to land 11 pounds, 15 ounces from the back of the boat. It took the right mentality and a good deal of perseverance, too.
But Romero doesn’t want to talk about that stuff. For him, it’s all about the pro he was paired with: Travis Archer.
“Travis is a great kid and a great boat driver,” he says. “We need more kids like him in FLW.”
Archer and Romero spent a lot of time hammering steep banks in just 5 feet of water. The co-angler leader caught his best fish on a spinnerbait and a Z-Man/Evergreen ChatterBait Jack Hammer, though he did employ a swimbait, a jig and a Storm Wiggle Wart crankbait at times as well.
Catching a lot of fish from the back of the boat is hard to do, and it’s even harder repeating that feat two days in a row. Romero knows it takes big adjustments and the ability to adapt to the conditions and boaters to make it happen.
“I just fish the conditions and adjust from there,” he says.
So far, so good.

MLF Bass Pro Tour Names Table Rock Lake Stage Six Stop
TULSA, Oklahoma (Feb. 27, 2019) - Major League Fishing® (MLF) announced today that Missouri's majestic Table Rock Lake, located in the heart of the Ozarks at the city of Branson, will be hosting the 2019 MLF Bass Pro Tour's Stage Six event, May 17-22, 2019.
The popular tourist destination community and the big 67-square-miles reservoir are both well known for their angler hospitality and serving up a quality bass tournament experience for participants and spectators alike.
Most of the 80 pros in the event have fished on Table Rock before, but this will be their first time as competitors in the newly formed Bass Pro Tour and as the first bass anglers to achieve professional status in the sport's league that requires no tournament entry fee for competitions.
"Major League Fishing is showing professional competitive fishing in the same manner that Americans see other sport organizations, such as the NFL, MLB, PGA, NASCAR, etc.," said Jeff Seifried, President/CEO, Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB. "Branson is excited to host these great anglers on our pristine lake."
"Table Rock Lake has it all - largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass - and some of the most beautiful scenery in America," said Michael Mulone, Senior Director of Events & Partnerships for Major League Fishing. "Branson is a fantastic destination known for reeling in tourists and we are looking forward to highlighting "The Rock" to a national audience."
Nestled in the Ozarks and close to nearby Branson, Table Rock Lake attracts thousands of visitors every year.
The region's extreme geography also calls for league officials to manage where anglers can fish due to MLF's stringent connectivity requirements because MLF NOW! live stream and SCORETRACKER™ are critical components of the event's execution and coverage.
Anglers' catches are immediately weighed, recorded and released back into the water, with the information being shared real-time via SCORETRACKER™ devices on every boat so that all competitors know where they stand and for the league to be able to keep the viewing public informed.
Bass Pro Tour events feature seven hours of live-stream coverage on MLF NOW! during each competition day, with free access available at www.majorleaguefishing.com.
Table Rock Lake in Missouri's Ozark Mountains is also the birthplace of the event's title sponsor, Bass Pro Shops, with its flagship National Headquarters store located in nearby Springfield, Missouri. Bass Pro Shops also operates Big Cedar Lodge, located on the banks of Table Rock Lake. Additional activities are planned for both locations as part of the event, with more details to follow in the coming weeks.
"Competing in the backyard of a major sponsor will allow interaction with employees, anglers, and the fans," Mulone added.
The Table Rock tour event will result in a two-hour television show that will air on Discovery Channel in the fourth quarter of 2019. It will repeat on Sportsman Channel in first and second quarters 2020.
MLF also has programming on Outdoor Channel, World Fishing Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network and Discovery Channel, and all episodes are available on-demand on My Outdoor TV (MOTV).

SEAGUAR BASS PROS HEAD TO THE BASSMASTER CLASSIC

Anglers share thoughts on the event, including tactics and more
Louisville, KY (February 26, 2019): The countdown has begun to the biggest event in bass fishing—the upcoming Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River in Knoxville, Tennessee, March 15-17.
With that, Seaguar is proud to announce eight of their bass pro roster will be fishing the Super Bowl of bass fishing, including Clifford Pirch, Chris Zaldain, Drew Benton, Mark Daniels Jr., James Elam, Brandon Palaniuk, Bradley Roy, and Jesse Wiggins.
So how do the pros think the event is going to play out? First of all, Seaguar pro Chris Zaldain points out the critical nature of water clarity.

“Given the time of year and the fact that the area is fairly mountainous with sheer bluff walls, rock ledges, and there’s a lot of water that flows through the Tennessee River area, I think the approach technique-wise is going to have to do with water clarity and flow. I’ve been fishing the area for eight years on the Elite Series, and that’s always been a factor. Is there going to be rain water, mud, and stained water rolling down the river? Or, are we going to have lower flows and clear weater? I think that will be the first thing that anglers will have to take into consideration,” says Seaguar pro Chris Zaldain.
Water clarity into account, Zaldain plans to fish a host of different techniques, which he’s quite open about sharing, despite the competitive nature of the event.
Seaguar pros expect new Stealth Gray Smackdown braid to play a major role in the Classic.
“I will be equipped with your traditional first spawn techniques like square bill crankbaits and spinnerbaits. But the thing about the Classic is you’re going for the win, not second place. That said, my specialty happens to be a big fish technique and that’s swimbaits. We all know that spinnerbaits and crankbaits – your shad-imitating moving baits – work really well in March along the Tennessee River. So, I like to throw a little twist on that, so instead of a spinnerbait, I’ll pick up a swimbait. That’s just something I like to do whether it’s a finesse swimbait or what I like to call a tournament-size swimbait, like a six-incher, which gets a lot of bites and catches big fish. I’ll also be equipped with an eight-inch swimbait for those really big bites. You’re not going to catch a limit on it, but if you get one or two bites that could definitely help you win the Classic at the end of the week. Traditional moving baits and swimbaits rigged, then it’s all about location. It’s a large body of water with two different lakes we can fish, so mileage-wise you could run the gas out of your boat if you wanted to. They’re going to give us three whole days of practice, and it’s going to come down to covering water and throwing those confidence lures you think you can win with and just eliminating water. From what I gather a 20-pound bag is a big bag on the Tennessee River. There will be lots of three- and four-pound fish, not the Texas five-, six-, seven-, and eight-pounders. There will be a couple of big ones caught but we’re looking for the three-day long haul – a steady diet of three- to four-pounders.”

In terms of his preferred line, Zaldain is a big fan of fluorocarbon and will rely heavily on Seaguar InvizX even if the water is muddy.
“With those confidence baits that I mentioned, like swimbaits, I’m fishing 15-pound Seaguar InvizX. I go through miles of that stuff a year. And I will have at least six rods spooled with 15-pound Seaguar InvizX—it’s the most versatile line diameter available. I call it my reaction bait line. It’s strong, it can handle the big baits, and it’s so soft and supple. I can throw swimbaits on it; I can throw squarebills on it; and I can throw spinnerbaits on it. I can also throw finesse jigs on it .it’s just a great all-around line. So, I’ll have at six rods and reels rigged up with it and an array of different squarebills, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and swimbaits – primarily shad imitators,” says Zaldain.

He continues: “For the big shallow-water stuff, I don’t care if the water is clear or muddy from the rain, my flipping sticks are all rigged with 20 and 25 pound Seaguar Flippin’ Fluorocarbon.
Whenvever I’m flipping hard target shallow I love Seaguar Flippin’ Fluorocarbon. And the reason I’m going to choose fluorocarbon instead of braid is simply because I’m fishing hard targets—shallow-water hard targets, not lots of grass like you’d find in Florida where you need a braid like Seaguar Low-Vis Stealth Gray Smackdown. I’ll be flipping docks, rocks, laydowns on the Tennessee River. There’s a little bit of stretch there and just the circular diameter of that line helps bounce off hard targets a lot better than a braid will. Everything’s just smoother and every hookset I make there’s a little bit of give there. In terms of baits, I’ll probably be fishing a 1/2-ounce Santone Rattlin’ Jig or an old-school tube. I know that in the state of Tennessee vflipping an old school tube works extremely well.”

Seaguar bass pro Clifford Pirch is also looking forward to the upcoming Classic. He’s also concerned with what he’ll find in terms of water clarity.
“We’re probably going to be dealing with off-color water and there’s lots of rain coming down, so the muddy and high-water conditions are going to mean things like moving baits and heavier power fishing tackle. Along those lines, I’ll probably be looking at a lot of 15- and 20-pound Seaguar InvizXand some Seaguar Tatsu on a jig, stuff like that. On most of my power fishing baits I’ll be running 15 to 20 pound InvizX.”
As far as flipping, if it’s muddy as anticipated, Pirch plans to use straight 65-pound Smackdown Low-Vis Smackdown Stealth Gray braid. “But if there’s much clarity at all, I also tie on a 20- or 25-pound Tatsu Flourocarbon leader to the Smackdown.”

Having recently put Seaguar Low-Vis Smackdown Stealth Gray to the test at Elite events in Florida and Georgia, Pirch is extremely pleased with how the line has fished. “It’s the same Smackdown I’ve always liked with the small diameter, supple and long casting qualities, plus the additional camouflage features.”
Like Zaldain, Pirch is excited to compete for the Bassmaster Classic win and is already preparing his gear and mindset for that goal. “I’m real excited to spend the next couple of weeks getting prepared for the Classic and have had a couple of decent events in to start the season, so I’m really looking forward to it.”

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Clent Davis to Represent Coosa Cotton Clothing in 2019
Montevallo, Ala. – February 25, 2019 – Bassmaster Elite Series pro, Clent Davis, the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup Champion, and 2012 FLW Tour Rookie of the Year will become the first national pro staffer for Coosa Cotton, a lifestyle clothing brand from Birmingham, Ala.
Davis has been aware of the brand since its inception, largely because it brings recognition to the waterways he fished as kid, and those who gave birth to his love of competitive fishing; and his career. As a part of the agreement, Davis will be wearing the brand’s clothing off the water, and displaying the logo on his boat and truck, as well as on his head during competition.
Davis said he’s proud of where he comes from, and what the Coosa River means to him, so it was a no brainer to partner with the brand. “I love the Coosa River; have since I was a kid fishing on Lay Lake, Lake Mitchell and Logan Martin,” he said. “The designs of the clothing bring back memories, and the product itself is really comfortable; it’s like wearing home with me wherever I go, and I love that; I’m proud to wear this brand.”
Graham Davis – no relation to his new pro staffer – said that sponsoring Davis was an easy choice. “Clent absolutely bleeds Alabama, and the heartbeat of the Coosa River is within him, so he fits Coosa Cotton,” said Coosa Cotton Founder Davis. “He is a local hammer, and a really good dude, who will bring our brand tremendous recognition; working with him was a no brainer.”
Davis said that he founded the company to help Alabama’s love for bass angling to represent the passion of anglers across the country. “The Coosa River is truly the center of the State of Alabama, and the main artery for bass fishing here; we wanted our brand to represent that,” he said. “Bass anglers as a whole understand that passion, and our fish, and the companies built around it have melded with the country; this brand resonates with anglers everywhere because of it, and Clent will be the face of that visibility.”
About Clent Davis – Clent Davis is a former college angler for the University of Montevallo, who turned his love into a career on the professional tours. He is a Bassmaster Elite Series pro who began his career on the FLW Tour in 2012; earning the Rookie of the Year Title. In 2018, he won the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Ark.

EAST TEXAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING SOUTHERN CONFERENCE OPENER ON SAM RAYBURN
LUFKIN, Texas (Feb. 25, 2019) – The East Texas Baptist University duo of Brett Clark of Center, Texas, and Cody Ross of Livingston, Texas, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Sam Rayburn Friday with a five-bass limit weighing 24 pounds, 4 ounces. The victory earned the Tiger’s bass club $2,400 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.
The duo said that they fished north of the bridge on Sam Rayburn, catching their bass on Carolina rigs.
“Our fish were sitting on an old road bed,” said Clark, a junior majoring in business administration. “We had found it in practice. The bass were prespawn, sitting in 8 to 10 feet of water, and they were moving in as we were catching them.”
“Most of our fish came from that one spot – literally two casts, over and over,” said Ross, a freshman majoring in business. “We started out throwing moving baits, but only managed to get one bite. Once we switched to the Carolina rig and slowed down it was like someone turned on the switch. We probably caught 40 to 50 fish throughout the day.”
The duo said that they threw two baits on the Carolina rigs – a black and blue-colored V&M Chopstick and a watermelon candy-colored V&M Baby Swamp Hog.
“I think the key for us was our Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor,” said Clark. “The wind came up during the day, and the Ultrex kept us in one spot and allowed us to weed through the little fish and just keep upgrading.”
The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:
1st: East Texas Baptist University – Brett Clark, Center, Texas, and Cody Ross, Livingston, Texas, five bass, 24-4, $2,400
2nd: East Texas Baptist University – Mason Beatty, Longview, Texas, and Jacob Keith, Jefferson, Texas, five bass, 22-0, $1,200
3rd: Stephen F. Austin State University – Christopher Harrison, Allen, Texas, and Ethan Legare, Lucas, Texas, five bass, 19-4, $500
4th: Sam Houston State University – Bryton Kurtz, Magnolia, Texas, and Jackson Carrell, Anderson, Texas, five bass, 18-11, $500
5th: Stephen F. Austin State University – Cooper Thor and Cade Rudiger, both of Mansfield, Texas, five bass, 18-11, $500
6th: Tarleton State University – Nick Prestwood, Stephenville, Texas, and Jacob David, Pilot Point, Texas, five bass, 18-2
7th: Oklahoma State University – Jake Swanson, Eufaula, Okla., and Garrett Brown, Broken Arrow, Okla., five bass, 18-0
8th: Sam Houston State University – Dillon Harrell, New Caney, Texas, and Colby Bryant, Houston, Texas, five bass, 17-8
9th: Texas A&M University – Garrison Thomas, Keller, Texas, and Tyler Anderson, Austin, Texas, five bass, 17-3
10th: Tarleton State University – Trent Stafford and Justin Tatum, both of Belton, Texas, five bass, 16-9
FLW also advances one additional team to the National Championship for every 10 teams over 100 that compete. A total of 122 teams participated in this event, so also advancing to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:
11th: Stephen F. Austin State University – Marc Ameringer, Cypress, Texas, and Cody Barchenger, Taylor, Texas, five bass, 16-1
12th: Sam Houston State University – Matthew Sewell, Tomball, Texas, and Joshua Perrin, Houston, Texas, five bass, 15-13
Complete results for the entire field can be found at FLWFishing.com.
The YETI FLW College Fishing event on Sam Rayburn Reservoir was hosted by the Lufkin Convention and Visitors Bureau. It was the first of three regular-season qualifying tournament for Southern Conference anglers. The next event for FLW College Fishing anglers will be the Western Conference opener, March 2 at Lake Mead in Las Vegas, Nevada.
YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats. The Potomac River and Marbury, Maryland, will play host to the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship, June 4-6, 2019.

ORELLANA WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OPENER ON LAKE NORMAN PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS
Co-angler Title Awarded to Newton’s Goble
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 25, 2019) – Local angler Carson Orellana of Mooresville, caught five bass Saturday weighing 15 pounds even to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) North Carolina Division opener on Lake Norman presented by Navionics. For his win, Orellana took home $4,209.
Orellana said he split his day between the upper and lower ends of Lake Norman, catching seven or eight keepers in the process.
“I started out fishing rocks in the morning, on the upper side of the lake, in dingy water. The water levels were up and I used moving baits,” said Orellana, who notched his first career victory in FLW competition. “I caught one that I weighed from the bank around rocks. After that, the wind picked up so I chased it. It’s a wind-driven lake.
“I headed to the lower side of the lake because it’s more wide open. I fished prespawn areas in the creeks – they were pretty much wind-blown banks,” continued Orellana. “I used C-Maps on my Lowrance electronics to find some of the steeper banks. There were banks that had a foot or so of water on them, and they didn’t seem to be as good as the ones that had 5- to 6-feet of water right off them.”
Orellana said he ended up weighing four from areas around docks with rocks. He used a ½-ounce Phatback Blue-colored TrueSouth Custom Lures Pro Shimmy Jig with a green-pumpkin-colored Zoom Fat Albert Twin Tail Grub.
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: Carson Orellana, Mooresville, N.C., five bass, 15-0, $4,209
2nd: Dylan Fulk, Charlotte, N.C., five bass, 14-15, $2,105

Josea Goble of Newton, North Carolina, won the Co-angler Division and $2,005 Saturday after catching four bass weighing 10 pounds, 12 ounces.
The top 10 co-anglers were:

9th: Michael Hartsfield Sr., Zebulon, N.C., two bass, 6-11, $250
9th: Dwayne Parton, Anderson, S.C., three bass, 6-11, $250
Jeter caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 5 pounds, 2 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $275.
The tournament was hosted by the Mooresville Convention & Visitors Bureau.
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. 17-19 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Guntersville in Guntersville, Alabama presented by Mercury.

WAGNER WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL MOUNTAIN DIVISION OPENER ON DALE HOLLOW LAKE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS
Jamestown’s Arms Takes Co-angler Title
BYRDSTOWN, Tenn. (Feb. 25, 2019) – Boater Adam Wagner of Cookeville, Tennessee, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 17 pounds even to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Mountain Division opener on Dale Hollow Lake presented by Navionics. Wagner pocketed $4,363 for his efforts.
“I caught them running up to the ends of the creeks. I was targeting the last cover where the runoff was coming off the hills,” said Wagner, who earned his 11th career victory in BFL competition – tied for third most all-time. “They were in the current where the water was hitting the lake and that’s where I caught them – as shallow as I could get.”
Wagner said he caught seven keepers throughout the day. The fish he weighed came from a 5/8-ounce Missouri Craw-colored D&L Tackle flipping jig with a green-pumpkin-colored Zoom Super Chunk trailer.
“I was in Eagle Creek up lake, and stayed in there, but I probably hit five different little arms off of it,” said Wagner. “It was about finding the warmest water. The water was 52 to 54 degrees where I caught them Saturday, but in practice, in those general areas, the run offs were 48 to 50 degrees and the fish weren’t there, so you had to find the warmest water.”
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: Adam Wagner, Cookeville, Tenn., five bass, 17-0, $4,363
2nd: Kris Kordenbrock, Covington, Ky., five bass, 16-6, $2,182
3rd: Greg Perry, Lost Creek, W. Va., five bass, 15-14, $1,387
4th: Tony Eckler, Lebanon, Tenn., five bass, 15-6, $971
5th: Mark Kirby, Gallatin, Tenn., four bass, 13-3, $1,123
6th: Sean Wieda, Florence, Ky., five bass, 12-15, $763
7th: Tim Staley, Dowelltown, Tenn., five bass, 12-2, $694
8th: Tim Smiley, White Pine, Tenn., five bass, 11-8, $925
9th: Chip Chambers, Elizabethton, Tenn., five bass, 10-9, $555

WINDER’S DAVIS WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL BULLDOG DIVISION OPENER ON LAKE LANIER
Co-angler Title Goes to Covington’s Smith
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (Feb. 25, 2019) – Boater Brad Davis of Winder, Georgia, caught five bass weighing 16 pounds, 5 ounces, Saturday to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Bulldog Division opener on Lake Lanier. For his win, Davis earned $5,014.
“I fished areas that have produced bigger spotted bass for me in the past. Lake Lanier is my home lake – I grew about 20 minutes away,” said Davis, who earned his first career victory in FLW competition. “I felt like the spotted bass bite would be more consistent with the cold front that was moving in. I focused all of my time on the south end of the lake because the water color on the north end was too stained.”
Davis only had five bites all day – four from points in the Old Federal Campground area, and the fifth from a spawning flat between Young Deer and Six Mile creeks. His said three came within the first hour on an Owner shaky-head rig with a 4-inch green-pumpkin-colored Yamamoto Senko.
“The first three came off of one point. I’ve had a lot of success with a Senko on it – it’s a lure with a bigger profile that appeals to the bigger fish,” said Davis. “I wanted to focus on main-lake points and stay as close to the main lake as possible. I didn’t want to run into any creeks, even on the south end, I just wanted to be as close to deep water as I could – literally right off the channel.”
From there, Davis said he went looking for points with the steepest drops he could find, catching his fourth with a 3/8-ounce green-pumpkin Gene Larew Biffle Hardhead jig with a Missile Baits Baby D Stroyer.
“I wasn’t fishing for a lot of bites out there – I was going for the right ones,” said Davis. “I fished really slow for the most part, and had really subtle bites. My Kissel Krafts Custom rods allowed me to feel the bites in the deep, cold water, which was key.”
Davis’ fifth fish from the spawning flat off of the main lake came on a Pro Blue-colored Megabass Ito Vision Jerkbait.
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: Brad Davis, Winder, Ga., five bass, 16-5, $5,014
