ZIMBABWE, NAMIBIA ANNOUNCED AS LATEST COUNTRIES TO JOIN FLW INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONING
TEN COUNTRIES NOW SANCTIONING INTERNATIONAL FLW BASS FISHING TOURNAMENTS
MINNEAPOLIS (April 29, 2019) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced today that Zimbabwe and Namibia have become the latest countries to offer anglers the opportunity to compete in FLW sanctioned bass fishing tournaments in 2019.
Both Zimbabwe and Namibia will run a series of FLW tournaments that advance anglers, who are citizens of that country, to the International Division at the Costa FLW Series Championship beginning in 2019. One angler from each country will compete as a pro, with FLW providing a fully-rigged Ranger boat, and one angler from each country will compete as a co-angler.
In addition to its adult tournaments, Zimbabwe will be running a series of High School Fishing tournaments and will be sending at least one team to the United States to compete in the 2019 FLW/TBF High School Fishing World Finals.
Both countries will operate under the direction of FLW South Africa president Hannes Lindeque with local supervision provided by Clint Skinner in Zimbabwe and Neil Engelbrecht in Namibia.
“We are so excited to have this chance to showcase our anglers to the world,” said Skinner. “Zimbabwe may be small and struggling in many ways, but our anglers can beat all comers. With the help of our sponsors, we look forward to sending both student and adult anglers to compete on the biggest stage in the bass fishing world through FLW Zimbabwe.”
In 2017 FLW South Africa’s Michael Matthee made history by winning the international division at the Costa FLW Series Championship on Kentucky Lake and becoming the first international angler to finish in the top 10. Matthee is competing on the FLW Tour this season and recently finished second on Grand Lake.
“Michael is living the dream at this moment and stands a great chance of being a professional angler for the rest of his life thanks to FLW,” said Engelbrecht. “FLW’s core values emulate our own, which makes launching FLW Namibia an easy decision.”
The top pro award at the Costa FLW Series Championship is $100,000, including a Ranger Z518L boat with a 200-horsepower outboard if the pro is Ranger Cup qualified, and the top co-angler award is a Ranger Z175 boat with a 115-horsepower outboard. The highest finishing pro from the International Division at the Costa FLW Series Championship advances to the following year’s FLW Cup for the chance to compete on the sport’s biggest stage.
FLW Canada’s Erik Luzak was the highest finishing International pro at the 2018 Costa FLW Series Championship and will represent the FLW International Division at the 2019 FLW Cup on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
“We are thrilled that anglers in Zimbabwe and Namibia will now have the opportunity to fish FLW events at home and qualify for the FLW Series Championship in the United States,” said Fennel. ““There are some fantastic bass fisheries in Zimbabwe and Namibia and some incredibly talented anglers. We have long touted our FLW anglers as the best in the world, and with the integration of the international division into the Costa FLW Series, we are truly seeing global competition.”
Zimbabwe and Namibia are the ninth and tenth countries represented in FLW’s international sanctioning program, joining Canada, China, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and South Korea.
Additional FLW qualifying tournaments in other countries will continue to be forthcoming. Watch FLWFishing.com for details.

Chad and Ryan Hall Win 2019 Alabama Bass Trail Weiss Lake
by Dan O’Sullivan
April 27, 2019 – Centre, Ala. – Weiss Lake has become one of the more interesting events on the Alabama Bass Trail’s Northern Division schedule since it made its first appearance on it. While the lake is known as the Crappie Capital of the World, Weiss features tremendous opportunities for both largemouth and Coosa River spotted bass.
As a result, one never quite knows what it will take to win here, there is always a chance of a bag loaded with each, or a mixed bag, and the weights can be impressive. Then – as with any other fishery – the lake can surprise you with a change from day-to-day. That was the result of the third stop on the ABT Northern Division schedule, when the weights fell slightly lower than expected.
The team of Chad and Ryan Hall brought an impressive 19.75-pound limit to the scales at Leesburg Landing, and never expected it to be the winning weight; but, it was. The pair walked away with the $10,000 winner’s share of the purse and an automatic bid into the 2019 ABT Championship on Lake Guntersville.
To say they were surprised by the outcome was an understatement. “We never expected that this weight would hold up to win,” they said. “We figured that it would be worth a top 10 possibly, but this is the best trail with the best anglers in the state, and it means so much to be here.”
They said they caught big numbers of fish in the midlake area, but didn’t expect to have the weights they did. “Practice was miserable, and we caught a bunch of fish, but didn’t find the weight to be good; today was much better for size,” they reported. “We fished grass and docks shallow and caught somewhere around 40 fish on white swim jigs and flipping green pumpkin Sweet Beavers – it was a good day.”
Damien Willis and Tyler Kiker; winners of the Wheeler Lake event earlier this season, posted 18.64 pounds to finish the day in second place, earning the $5,000 runners up prize. They said spent their morning running around looking for spawning fish, before stumbling onto a postspawn spinnerbait pattern that proved to be the ticket. “We should have recognized it earlier, but we caught our big fish on a chartreuse and white spinnerbait at around eleven o’clock, and the light went on,” they said. “We certainly wish we would have discovered it before, but this will give us good points in the standings, so we’re pleased.”
The “big fish” that Willis and Kiker landed did more than clue them into the pattern for the day, it also ended being the Mountain Dew Big Bass of the event. The 6.27-pound largemouth anchored their limit and earned them an additional $500 bonus for catching the day’s largest fish.
The team of Payton McGinnis and John Davis caught 18.20 pounds and finished the day in third place, earning $4,000 in the process.
The Southern Division of the Alabama Bass Trail hits the water next at the Pickwick Lake on May 11.

BEAVERS WINS COSTA FLW SERIES TOURNAMENT ON SANTEE COOPER LAKES
South Carolina pro Earns Third Career Victory– Second on Santee Cooper –and earns $86,700
SUMMERTON, S.C. (April 27, 2019) – Pro Bradford Beavers of Summerville, South Carolina, caught a five-bass limit weighing 23 pounds, 7 ounces, to win the weather-shortened Costa FLW Series on Santee Cooper Lakes presented by Power-Pole. The tournament was shortened from three days to two after competition was cancelled Friday due to high winds. Bradford’s two-day total of 10 bass weighing 54 pounds, 9 ounces, was enough to earn him the victory at the Southeastern Division finale and $86,700, including a new Ranger Z518L boat with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.
“To win on my home lake is quite an accomplishment,” said Beavers, who won the Costa FLW Series Championship on Kentucky Lake in 2017. “I know how good the anglers are here, and it’s a little redemption for the 2014 [FLW Series] event here. I started that final day in second place, but zeroed and ended up finishing ninth. That’s been on my mind for years, so this is great.”
Beavers said he started out fishing on Lake Moultrie each day, targeting shallow cypress trees.
“I started at the best cypress trees I knew of, where the bass were either spawning or coming off the bank,” said Beavers. “I had four areas of trees that I fished there.”
Beavers said that he headed to Lake Marion around 1 p.m. each day, running pretty much ran the same pattern in two general areas, but with one small adjustment.
“I fished even shallower trees on Lake Marion because I felt more [bass] were truly spawning on the upper lake versus Lake Moultrie, so I’d hit trees more in the pocket rather than out in the open,” said Beavers.
The South Carolina pro said he caught seven keepers Thursday and added another nine today. He weighed nearly every fish from a wacky- or Texas-rigged, 5-inch green-pumpkin Yamamoto Senko. One keeper each day came on an Eye Strike Texas Eye jighead with a 3.3-inch shad-colored Keitech swimbait.
“The Eye Strike is like a wobble head with an eye protruding from it. I’d throw it the first 30 minutes because I felt there was a shad spawn going on.”
The top 10 pros on Santee Cooper Lakes finished:
1st: Bradford Beavers, Summerville, S.C., 10 bass, 54-9, $86,700
2nd: Lex Costas, Daniel Island, S.C., 10 bass, 50-1, $15,600
3rd: Mike Watson, Sumter, S.C., 10 bass, 48-6, $12,300

5th: Kyle Welcher, Cleveland, Tenn., 10 bass, 44-0, $10,500
6th: Todd Smith, Bonneau, S.C., 10 bass, 43-12, $8,000
7th: William Fletcher, Dallas, Ga., 10 bass, 42-4, $7,000

The top 10 co-anglers on Santee Cooper Lakes finished:

FLW TOUR SET TO VISIT LAKE CHICKAMAUGA FOR SIXTH EVENT OF SEASON
Dayton to Host 168 Anglers Casting for $125,000 Top Prize in Four-Day Event
DAYTON, Tenn. (April 22, 2019) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament fishing organization, is set to continue the 2019 FLW Tour season – the 24th season of the competitive Tour – next week, May 2-5, with the FLW Tour at Lake Chickamauga presented by Evinrude. Hosted by Fish Dayton and the Rhea Economic Tourism Council, the tournament will feature 168 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals competing for a top award of up to $125,000 and valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2019 FLW Cup – the world championship of bass fishing.
The FLW Tour has visited Lake Chickamauga four times prior in FLW’s 24-year history. When the Tour visited the East Tennessee fishery in 2015, some of the biggest names in the sport ended up competing on Championship Sunday, including former Forrest Wood Cup champion David Dudley and legendary angler Larry Nixon. Pro Michael Wooley, then of Collierville, Tennessee, won the event, weighing 20 bass totaling 92 pounds, 4 ounces, focusing on a shell bar in Dallas Bay with a shaky-head rig and a football-head jig.
The 2019 event will mark the 216th tournament in FLW Tour history. The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Chickamauga presented by Evinrude is more than $860,000.
“This tournament is going to be one of the most fun events that we have all year,” said FLW Tour rookie Miles Burghoff of Hixson, Tennessee, who is currently leading both the Angler of the Year (AOY) and Rookie of the Year (ROY) point races with just two events remaining in the season. “Dayton, Tennessee is the most bass-friendly town that I have ever been to and the best bass-fishing community that I have ever seen. It’s going to be great fishing and great crowds all week.”
Burghoff predicted that the majority of the bass would be spawn or post-spawn, and he expects that competitors will be able to fish however they would like to.
“We’re going to have guys that fish the ledges and do great, and we’ll have guys that avoid the ledges and fish shallow that will do great,” Burghoff said. “I think the key will be having multiple options. I don’t think you can win off of one spot very easily. It’s possible, but there are no secrets on Chickamauga – especially offshore. In order to win, you’re going to have to stay fluid and have a few back up plans ready to go.”
Burghoff predicted that standard Tennessee River-tackle would be in play – big spoons, jigs and swimbaits are all expected to play a role for tournament competitors. Burghoff also predicted that many of the FLW Tour pros would likely be seen throwing topwater baits for the first time this season.
“We’re hitting the lake perfectly and there will be plenty of fish well into their summertime patterns,” he said. “I think it’ll take at least a 15-pound-a-day average to make the top-30 cut to fish the weekend. I think it’ll take a four-day total of 87 to 88 pounds to win. It could be a little high, but it’s Lake Chickamauga and we’re going to crush them.”
Anglers will take off at 6:30 a.m. ET Thursday through Sunday from the Dayton Boat Dock, located at 175 Lakeshore St., in Dayton. Thursday and Friday’s weigh-ins, May 2-3, will be held at the park beginning at 3:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, May 4-5, will also be held at the park, but will begin at 4:30 p.m.
Prior to the weigh-ins, FLW will host a free Family Fishing Expo at the Dayton Boat Dock from 2 to 6 p.m. each day. The Expo is a chance for fishing fans to meet their favorite anglers, enjoy interactive games, activities and giveaways provided by FLW sponsors, and learn more about the sport of fishing and other outdoor activities.
Also for youth, the FLW Foundation’s Unified Fishing Derby will be held at the Dayton Boat Dock on Saturday, May 4, from Noon-2 p.m. The event is hosted by FLW Foundation pro Cody Kelley along with other FLW Tour anglers, and is free and open to anyone under the age of 18 and Special Olympics athletes. Rods and reels are available for use, but youth are encouraged to bring their own if they own one. The 1st and 2nd place anglers that catch the biggest fish will be recognized Saturday on the FLW Tour stage, just prior to the pros weighing in.
As part of the FLW Tour’s community outreach initiative, FLW Tour anglers will visit shoppers and staff at We Care, a second-hand store benefitting the Safe Haven Light Family Transitional Shelter, located at 420 Market Street in Dayton on Wednesday, May 1 from 3-4:30 p.m. to interact with guests, snap photos and sign autographs, give away goodie bags and share fishing stories.
Television coverage of the FLW Tour at Lake Chickamauga presented by Evinrude will premiere in 2019. The Emmy-nominated "FLW" television show airs each Saturday night at 7 p.m. EST and is broadcast to more than 63 million cable, satellite and telecommunications households in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean on the World Fishing Network (WFN), the leading entertainment destination and digital resource for anglers throughout North America. FLW television is also distributed internationally to FLW partner countries, including Canada, China, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and South Africa.
The popular FLW Live on-the-water program will air on Days Three and Four of the event, featuring live action from the boats of the tournament’s top pros each day. Host Travis Moran will be joined by Todd Hollowell to break down the extended action each day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On-the-water broadcasts will be live streamed on FLWFishing.com, the FLW YouTube channel and the FLW Facebook page.
In FLW Tour competition, the full field of 168 pro anglers compete in the two-day opening round on 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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 3rd, 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 72ndin the points to 39th. 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 3rdTop 3 in 3 years. But you won’t hear me complain about 3rdplace.”
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 . . .

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.
Carson Wins ABA Florida Open on Harris Chain with over 25 pounds!
ATHENS, Ala. – Keith Carson won the Bass Pro Shops Open Series Florida Central tournament, held April 13th on the Harris Chain. Running out of Hickory Point Recreational Facility in Tavares, FL the DeBary, FL angler caught five bass weighing 25.01 pounds anchored by an 8.62-pound big bass. For the Boater Division victory, Carson took home a check for $5500 for his win and an additional $890 for the big bass award.
“I caught my fish in Dora on a crankbait targeting points and brush piles.I was using a DT 10 and caught a few fish but lost a few good ones. I caught that big bass around 3:00pm near the bridge.” Carson said.
In a second-place tie for the boaters, Terry Oliver of Belleview, FL and John Kremer of Sanford, FL each landed a five-bass tournament limit going 18.95 pounds.
“I ran down to Lake Griffin on the north end near the river throwing swim-jigs and flipping. I caught most of my fish in shallow hydrilla. “Oliver said.
“I caught my fish in Lake Harris fishing deeper water. I fished clean today. “Kremer said
Finishing fourth, William Weil of Dover, FL landed a five-bass limit for 18.75 pounds. Fred Chivington of Welaka, FL rounded out the top five boaters with five bass at 18.54 pounds.

“We were fishing this side of Lake Harris. My partner and I saw a big swirl and he tried to cast to the fish but didn’t get bit so he said I should cast over there. I threw my frog over where the fish swirled and it nailed my bait. That big bass came early in the day for me. It was the biggest bass I have ever caught. After the fish was in the livewell my hands were still shaking. “Taylor Jr said.
