High water and rain hindering Fork’s home field advantage

Alan McGuckin - Dynamic Sponsorships

 

Few anglers on the planet understand the behavior of Lake Fork’s big bass better than James Caldemeyer. The Iowa native moved to the region at age 19, that’s when his dad introduced him to bass fishing on the famous 27,000 acre reservoir, and for the past 15 years, he’s made a full-time living guiding clients to their fish of a lifetime.

 

Easily recognized by the large “I Am Second” graphics on his Toyota Tundra and Ranger Boat, the 45-year-old Caldemeyer says an already full Lake Fork will fish very different than fans of Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest have seen in past events here.

 

“Fork is already filled to the brim because of all the rain we’ve had, and we’ve got a lot more heavy rain on the way the next couple days. That forces the Sabine River Authority to open the gates at the dam to release water, which causes current to flow through our reservoir. And unlike most any reservoir in the country, current seems to hinder the bite here, rather than help it,” he explains.

 

Typically, this is the time of year when giants like the 13 pound 7 ounce fiberglass replica you see Caldemeyer holding in the photo finish spawning, migrate deep, school up, and fall for deep crankbaits, football jigs, and Carolina Rigs. But that’s simply not the dominant pattern this week according to Caldemeyer.

 

“Not only do you still have bass in all three phases of the spawn this week, but you also have a shad spawn taking place. Combine the shad spawn with clouds and rain, and you can count on the big gizzard shad to stay shallow pretty much all day. And that’s what big bass love to eat here,” he says.

 

With Fork’s groceries staying shallow, Caldemeyer predicts topwater lures like Berkley’s Choppo, as well as big swimbaits, will be major players this week.

 

“If I had to pick one swimbait to throw this week it would be a 6.75” Rising Son from 3:16 Lure Company, it’s an awesome gizzard shad imitator!” he says passionately.

 

However, as much as Caldemeyer loves to throw a swimbait, he knows it can be an all or nothing lure, hence he says he’d definitely have a shallow squarebill crankbait tied on as a “limit getter” in the shallows.

 

“I really think this tournament is kind of anybody’s ballgame to win this week. You’ll see guys froggin’ and  pitching Texas-rigged plastics, doing all sorts of things to find a consistent pattern, but the pattern we’ve seen in this event during previous years where a guy with lots of local knowledge wins on a couple mega-schools out deep is highly unlikely this week,” he concludes.

 

That said, he predicts it will still take a mighty impressive average of 26 pounds per day to win the prestigious 4-day derby.

 

Caldemeyer should know. Few folks on earth have a better feel for Fork’s giant bass than the guy who makes a living slinging swimbaits from the front deck of the “I Am Second” boat.

Wheeler Leads Shotgun Round 1 for Group A on Smith Lake with our 61 pounds

Photo Courtesy of Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour.

CULLMAN, Ala. (April 30, 2019)  - If you ever wondered if momentum is a thing in professional bass fishing, look no further than the five names at the top of SCORETRACKER™ after the first Shotgun Round of the Bass Pro Tour Phoenix Boats Stage Five Presented by Mercury: Jacob Wheeler, Andy Morgan, Wesley Strader, Ott DeFoe and Edwin Evers.
Led by Wheeler's record-breaking 38-fish, 61-pound, 15-ounce performance, that quintet of Major League Fishing® (MLF) pros racked up 138 scorable bass for just over 236 pounds to leave Smith Lake with comfortable cushions to carry into their Elimination Round competition on Thursday.
It was a continuation of recent success for all five anglers: Evers has four top-10 finishes in four events this season and leads the Bass Pro Tour points race; DeFoe is just a month removed from a Bassmaster Classic win; Strader has seven Top 20s in his last season-and-a-half; Morgan is shooting for back-to-back wins; and Wheeler has two Top 5s in his last four events.
"Momentum makes you a little fearless, for lack of a better term," said Morgan, who entered the week fresh off a win two weeks ago at Stage Four on Lake Chickamauga. "You're just kinda 'with it' from the get-go, whether you're getting bites from the get-go or not. Everybody is at their best when they're relaxed, and that's what everybody is after in this sport: to be relaxed, and to just keep it rolling."
Wheeler Was Dominant on Day 1
No matter how you measure Wheeler's performance, "rolling" is an accurate description. On a fishery that showed signs of being in a slight post-spawn lull before the event started, Wheeler figured out the right patterns and the right locations early in the day, piling up 36 of his 38 fish in the first two periods and overtaking Morgan, who had rang up 18 fish and a big lead in Period 1.
"That morning bite is definitely a key opportunity to catch a majority of your fish," Wheeler admitted. "Your goal is to try to catch as much as you possibly can in the Shotgun Round so you're not under the pressure to have to catch them in the Elimination Round. You see this day in and day out in this format: a good Shotgun Round puts guys in position to try to go dial in new patterns - or just stay on top of what's going on - in the Elimination Round, so they can make it to the Knockout Round, and then make the Top 10 cut."
Wheeler's assessment of the morning bite is accurate: 238 fish were recorded on SCORETRACKER in the first period; that total dropped to 203 and 195 in Periods 1 and 2.
 
Group B Up Next
The 40 anglers in Group B compete Wednesday in Shotgun Round 2. Based on Day 1 results, the Elimination Line will hover around 25 pounds, but and if weather forecasts are correct, Group B's round could be even more of a smashfest than Day 1.
"Day 2 is supposed to be a little overcast and maybe blowing a little bit, so I think we'll have a little bit better conditions for fish to bite," said Group B competitor Jeff Sprague.
Looking Ahead
The field will carry their Shotgun Round weights into the two Elimination Rounds on Thursday and Friday for the Elimination Rounds. The Top 20 anglers from each group will advance to the Knockout Round on Saturday. The Top 10 anglers in the Knockout Round will advance to the Championship Round on Sunday.
How, Where, When to Watch
Competition begins daily at 6:30 a.m. CT, with live, official scoring available via SCORETRACKER on MajorLeagueFishing.com and on the MLF app. The MLF NOW! live stream starts at 9 a.m. CT, with live, on-the-water coverage continuing until lines out at 2:30 p.m. The Berkley Postgame Show live stream will start at 4 p.m. daily.

Lake Houston Marina was host to 17 Anglers Quest Teams this past Saturday. There were 12 limits caught, 72 fish, 164.64 total pounds and that made for a 2.28 pound average bass.

The team of John Littleton & Tim Neumann came in first place with their 5 fish limit that weighed 15.67 lbs and won
$1,250.00 for their day on the water. John reported fishing out of a BassCat powered by Mecury. He said they fished mostly north in the pads on frogs in 2-3 feet of water and that they culled some on boat docks. They would like to thank Texas Elite Electrical Services, Kistler Rods and Stanley Baits.

Curtis Jordan & Brandon Flowers came in second and had Big Bass of the day. These guys took home a total of $950.00 for their day on the water.

Moore & Caries win ABA 150 Event on Lake Norman with over 16 pounds!

ATHENS, Ala. – The team of Richard Moore of Clover SC and Chris Carnes of York SC won the Bass Pro Shops 150 series team event held on Lake Norman on 4/27/19. The team sacked up a five bass limit weighing 16.34 pounds. Their limit was anchored by a bass weighing 4.42 pounds.  For the win Moore and Carnes took home a fully rigged Tracker Pro Team 175 XTE Tournament edition boat with a 75 HP Mercury 4 stroke motor valued at $20,000.00.

“Things for us really started out slow. We were just catching smaller fish. We pulled into a pocket and found a lot better quality of fish. We caught most of our fish on a shakeyhead,” said Moore.

In second place the team of Brent Rankin of Mt. Holly NC and Ron Moore of Indian Trail NC weighed in a five bass limit weighing 15.08 pounds. Their limit was anchored by a bass weighing 5.37 pounds which was the biggest bass weighed in.

“We caught a lot of fish today, but the better fish came from a 100-yard stretch of grass.
We caught three on a chatter bait and two on a red eye shad,” said Rankin.

Taking third the team of Jonathan Lutz of Dallas NC and TJ Harris weighed in a five bass limit weighing 15.01 pounds. Their limit was anchored by a bass weighing 4.09 pounds.

“We caught all of our fish on a True South jig in Green Pumpkin. We fished docks and the fish were positioned anywhere from the backs to the fronts of the docks,” said Lutz

In fourth place the team of Tommy Murphy Jr. of Newton NC and Matthew Burke of Weddington NC weighed in five bass for 12.90 pounds. Rounding out the top five the team of Conner Alms of Mooresville NC and Troy Lehew of Charlotte NC weighed in five bass for 12.29 pounds.

In total this tournament paid back 100% of the entries and big bass bringing the total payback at $28,400.00.

The top 20 teams from this event will have the opportunity to compete in the Bass Pro Shops 150 Series championship to be held on Table Rock Lake in Branson MO in September 2019. The winning team at the championship will receive (2) Tracker Pro Team 195 XTE Tournament Edition Boats powered by a 150 hp Mercury four stroke engine.

EDMOND’S LILLIE WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE TOURNAMENT ON EUFAULA LAKE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS

Checotah’s Duvall Takes Co-Angler Division

EUFAULA, Okla. (April 29, 2019) – Boater Justin Lillie of Edmond, Oklahoma, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Okie Division tournament on Eufaula Lake presented by Navionics Sunday with five bass weighing 18 pounds, 8 ounces. Lillie earned $4,259 for his day on the water.

“I basically fished around the dam on the upper side of the lake 20 miles from takeoff and caught five keepers,” said Lillie, who earned his first career win in FLW competition. “I focused on postspawn bass around rock ledges. I had five locations I caught fish at, just running different little rock ledges and outcroppings.

“I worked in 6 to 10 feet of water,” continued Lillie. “I caught the biggest fish – my first – about 10 minutes in, and then one keeper every two hours after that.”

Lillie said he used a ¾- or 1-ounce white and chartreuse-colored Nichols Pulsator Metal Flake Double Willow spinnerbait with a chartreuse Zoom Fat Albert Grub trailer on 20-pound-test P-Line Tactical Fluorocarbon line, and a 7-foot, 5-inch Halo TI Series heavy-action rod with an Ardent C-Force 7:1 reel. He also weighed one on a shaky-head rig with a darker-colored Zoom Magnum Trick Worm.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Justin Lillie, Edmond, Okla., five bass, 18-8, $4,259

2nd:         Nick Kincaid, Coweta, Okla., five bass, 16-15, $2,205

Jase Morris of Edmond, Oklahoma, caught the heaviest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $272.

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 Kentucky and Barkley lakes in Gilbertsville, Kentucky, presented by Evinrude.

THE APPRENTICE SCHOOL WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING NORTHERN CONFERENCE OPENER ON SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE PRESENTED BY COSTA

BEDFORD, Va. (April 29, 2019) – The Apprentice School duo of Hunter Atkins of Carrsville, Virginia, and Kitt Moger of Suffolk, Virginia, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Smith Mountain Lake presented by Costa Friday with a five-bass limit weighing 16 pounds, 6 ounces. The victory earned the Builders’ bass club $2,400 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.

It was the second consecutive year that the duo of Atkins and Moger won the FLW College Fishing event on Smith Mountain Lake, and Atkins credited their sight-fishing skills as the key to their tournament wins.

“We’ve only been to this lake three times – all three for a tournament – and we finished fourth, first and first,” said Atkins, a senior majoring in business management. “Kitt and I work real well together when we’re targeting beds, alternating casts and keeping a bait in front of the fish at all times. Smith Mountain Lake is also very similar to some of the lakes we have by our house and we’ve got a lot of practice bed fishing.”

“We spent a full day on the water Thursday, just prior to the tournament, and we were on the water from sun up to sun down, just looking for and marking fish on beds,” said Moger, a third year Outside Machinist Apprentice at Newport News Shipbuilding. “I think that was the key to our win – persistence. We wore that trolling motor out and didn’t even really fish – we just looked for fish on the bed.”

The duo said they came in to the tournament with around a dozen fish marked and they were able to put 11 keepers in the boat. They flipped Texas-rigged Strike King Rage Craws and Rage Lobsters, both black-and-blue-colored.

“I think the key was knowing how to sight fish,” Atkins went on to say. “We ran into a couple of very large fish, but after a few casts we knew we were wasting our time. You have to know when it’s going to bite and when to leave it alone. Luckily we ran into some that were ready.”

The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:

1st:          The Apprentice School – Hunter Atkins, Carrsville, Va., and Kitt Moger, Suffolk, Va., five bass, 16-6, $2,400

2nd:         Radford University – Christopher Butler and Zack LeMaster, both of Bedford, Va., five bass, 15-6, $1,000

LEXINGTON’S WALSER WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE TOURNAMENT ON KERR LAKE

Co-Angler Title Goes to Shelby’s Scism

HENDERSON, N.C. (April 29, 2019) – Boater Robert Walser of Lexington, North Carolina, brought five bass to the weigh-in stage totaling 15 pounds, 10 ounces, to win Saturday’s T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) North Carolina Division tournament on Kerr Lake. For his efforts, Walser took home $5,718.

“I fished flooded bushes and trees, mid-lake, along an approximately 20-mile stretch,” said Walser, who logged his 12th career win in BFL competition – tied for second most all-time. “I used a spinnerbait early, and then I flipped.”

Walser said he used a ½-ounce white-colored Rush Lures double-willow-bladed spinnerbait with a chartreuse and silver glitter Zoom Split Tail trailer on 20-pound-test Berkley Big Game line. He flipped a green-pumpkin Zoom Baby Brush Hog with a 3/0-sized Berkley Fusion 19 EWG hook and a 3/8-ounce Eco Pro tungsten flipping weight. For flipping, he opted for 20-pound-test Berkley Trilene 100-percent fluorocarbon line.

“I caught more than 30 keepers. It was hard initially, but after it warmed up it got easier,” said Walser. “We had a severe cold front come through Friday afternoon and the temperatures dropped rapidly – maybe 20 degrees in 30 minutes. It rained following the temperature change, so we had a few hours of cold rain. I think it had an effect on the fish I was targeting, but after noontime I caught four or five limits.”

Walser said he ended up weighing one off the spinnerbait, and the rest from the Brush Hog.

“Some of those spinnerbait fish in the morning were at those deeper bushes, and my Garmin Panoptix showed me the submerged bushes I couldn’t see, which really helped me out,” said Walser.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Robert Walser, Lexington, N.C., five bass, 15-10, $3,718 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Dustin Clontz, Albemarle, N.C., five bass, 14-8, $1,909

3rd:          Jake Frye, Charlotte, N.C., five bass, 14-0, $1,388

5th:          Scott Hamrick, Denver, N.C., five bass, 13-8, $655

5th:          Randy Childers, Anderson, S.C., five bass, 13-8, $805

7th:          Jason Wilson, Lincolnton, N.C., five bass, 13-6, $990

8th:          Carson Orellana, Mooresville, N.C., five bass, 13-0, $513

ELIZABETHTON’S SMITH WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE TOURNAMENT ON DOUGLAS LAKE

Johnson Wins Co-Angler Division

KODAK, Tenn. (April 29, 2019) – Boater Kyle Smith of Elizabethton, Tennessee, caught five bass Saturday weighing 17 pounds, 11 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Volunteer Division tournament on Douglas Lake. For his victory, Smith was awarded $4,384.

Smith said he started the tournament fishing around the Interstate 40 Bridge and worked his way to the Dandridge Bridge as the day progressed. He initially threw a wacky-rigged green pumpkin-colored V&M Chopstick on a Dobyns Champion XP704SF rod, targeting spawning fish on flats and in pockets around laydowns.

“I caught the heaviest fish of my day early – a 4-pound, 11-ouncer – so the day started out really well,” said Smith, who earned his first win in FLW competition. “I caught a couple more on the Chopstick then switched over to a spinnerbait around 10 [a.m.] and targeted deeper bushes and points with rock.”

Smith used a ½-ounce chartreuse and white-colored Dobyns D-Blade Beast spinnerbait with a glimmer blue-colored FoolinBass Custom Baits twin-tailed grub trailer on a Dobyns Champion XP733C rod. He noted that his Lowrance electronics were also crucial to his success, helping him stay in the right depth range on the points.

“I probably boated 25 keepers throughout the day,” said Smith. “In the late afternoon I ended up culling two fish in the last hour with the spinnerbait. It was a great day of fishing.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Kyle Smith, Elizabethton, Tenn., five bass, 17-11, $4,384

2nd:         Chris Ferguson, Wittensville, Ky., five bass, 17-8, $1,322

KINTA’S KING WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE TOURNAMENT ON EUFAULA LAKE

Yukon’s Symes Takes Co-Angler Division

EUFAULA, Okla. (April 29, 2019) – Boater Brett King of Kinta, Oklahoma, caught five bass Saturday weighing 21 pounds, 2 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Okie Division tournament on Eufaula Lake. King netted $4,127 for his efforts.

King said he slow-rolled spinnerbaits to earn his win. He said he used a ½-ounce black and chartreuse-colored Booyah Single Colorado Blade spinnerbait with a pearl-colored YUM Pulse swimbait before switching to a ½-ounce white, blue and chartreuse Booyah Double Colorado in the afternoon with the same trailer.

“I was throwing on small channel swing banks,” said King, who earned his first career victory in FLW competition. “I had two stretches about 50 yards long around the Oak Ridge Cove area that had channel swings and little sandy points with laydown logs. The fish were pulling out of spawning pockets and heading back out to the main lake.

“Both stretches were equally productive,” King continued. “I didn’t start catching them until about 10:30 [a.m.] and I caught my last keeper at 1:30 [p.m.].

In total, King said he caught eight keepers throughout his day.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

WEST FRANKFORT’S SHORAGA WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE OPENER ON REND LAKE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS

 

Edwardsville’s Greco Grabs Co-Angler Title

WHITTINGTON, Ill. (April 29, 2019) – Boater Dan Shoraga of West Frankfort, Illinois, brought five bass to the weigh-in stage Saturday totaling 12 pounds, 5 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Illini Division opener on Rend Lake presented by Navionics. For his victory, Shoraga pocketed $6,185.

“I decided to stay on the south end of the lake and had one primary spot that I stayed in pretty much all day – the Sandusky area,” said Shoraga, who earned his third win in BFL competition. “I’d found the fish a week before. The water came up about 10 inches so they’d pulled a little bit, but I was able to still get about eight bites, including five keepers.”

Shoraga said he flipped shallow willow trees, with the fish coming from about 2 feet of water. He caught four he weighed on a Texas-rigged black and blue- or black neon-colored Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver with a 3/8-ounce weight, and one on a 3/8-ounce homemade white and chartreuse spinnerbait. He said he preferred the black neon Sweet Beaver for dirtier water.

“My Power-Poles were a big part of my day,” said Shoraga. “I knew some of the fish were on beds even though you couldn’t see them, and sometimes times it’d take three or four bites before I’d hook them. I had to sit there with the poles down knowing that they’d bite after a few tries.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Dan Shoraga, West Frankfort, Ill., five bass, 12-5, $4,185 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Brad Porter, Bluford, Ill., four bass, 10-8, $1,593

3rd:          Jake Hurst, New Athens, Ill., three bass, 9-10, $994

4th:          Derek Jenkel, Pinckneyville, Ill., four bass, 9-5, $947

5th:          Chad Diedrich, Nashville, Ill., five bass, 9-2, $597

6th:          Jeremy Mull, Pawnee, Ill., four bass, 8-11, $547

7th:          William Walker, Mulkeytown, Ill., three bass, 8-7, $798

8th:          Tim Davis, East Alton, Ill., three bass, 7-10, $448

9th:          Luke Budde, St. Louis, Mo., three bass, 7-5, $548

10th:        Greg Mullins, Mount Vernon, Ill., three bass, 7-0, $348

LAKE FORK, Texas — After record-setting attendance numbers at the 2019 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, B.A.S.S. officials announced a yearlong celebration of the fans who make professional bass fishing so special.

Since then, the “Year of the Fan” has been gaining momentum at each Bassmaster Elite Series event with an Outdoors Expo that puts fans center stage and gives them a chance meet and greet their favorite Elite Series pros.

That celebration will hit another gear during the Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest benefiting Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, with a live performance by country music star Chris Knight.

The tournament will run Thursday through Monday, and the Outdoors Expo will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Knight, whose most recent album, “Little Victories,” reached No. 25 on the Billboard Country charts, will perform beginning at 4:15 p.m. Saturday. Knight kicks off the Mercury Concert Series, which also provides live music at Bassmaster Elite events Lake Guntersville, Alabama; St. Lawrence River, New York; Cayuga Lake, New York; and Lake St. Clair, Michigan.

“As people saw during the Elite Series events at Lake Hartwell and Winyah Bay in April, the Year of the Fan celebration is aimed at making sure our supporters have the time of their lives at our tournaments,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin. “Top-notch live entertainment will only add to the experience.”

In addition to performing popular singles like “Cry Lonely” and “In the Meantime,” Knight is an accomplished songwriter who has penned hits like "Love at 90 Miles an Hour" for Ty Herndon and "She Couldn't Change Me" for Montgomery Gentry.

His 90-minute performance will add more spice to an Elite Series “Fandamonium” celebration that also includes boat demo rides, prize giveaways, autograph sessions, angler seminars, food vendors and more.

As part of the Texas Fest celebration, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) will have a major presence at the Outdoors Expo with aquariums, casting and fly-tying instruction, fish art and multiple children’s activities. TPWD will also be honoring five Toyota ShareLunker Legacy Anglers who caught and donated bass that weighed 13 pounds or more to the organization’s selective breeding program in 2019.

Get Hooked on Fishing presented by Toyota, Shakespeare and TakeMeFishing.org will provide an interactive fishing experience for children with casting lessons, a fishing pond and a chance to meet the pros.

TPWD will also induct Alan Haynes of Tyler, former CEO and president of The Sportster Inc. retail sporting goods chain, into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in ceremonies Saturday at Texas Fest. A lifelong sportsman, Haynes is being honored for his efforts to engage people in fishing.

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.

Bethel University Rallies To Win College Series Tour At Bull Shoals

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. — Carter McNeil and Cole Floyd of Bethel University busted an 18-pound, 5-ounce bag today to win the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops at Bull Shoals Lake.

Starting Championship Saturday in sixth place, McNeil and Floyd brought in the biggest bag of the day, second largest of the three-day event, to total 48-6. They finished 1-10 ahead of Day 2 leaders Joshua Boone and Blake Riley of Eastern Kentucky University, who weighed their smallest bag of the week at 13-15 to total 46-12.

“I’m excited about it,” said McNeil, who teamed with Floyd in a second-place finish at the 2017 National Championship on Lake Bemidji in Minnesota. “We’ve been close.

“We lost some good fish this week, everyone did. Today, when I caught our last 4-pounder, we knew we had a chance.”

With the victory, Bethel, a private university in Tennessee that is among several institutions offering bass fishing scholarships, is flexing its muscle of late.

“This is a great thing for these two guys, and for our school,” said Coach Garry Mason, who has had angler John Garrett qualify for the 2017 Bassmaster Classic. “They have almost won everywhere we’ve gone. Now they’ve got one under their belt.

“They’re going to get to fish the national championship again, so this a very exciting time for Bethel University, and also for Carter and Cole. We appreciated how hard they work.”

Work it was on Bull Shoals this week. McNeil and Floyd fished midface on Thursday’s first day, catching a solid bag of 14-10 but standing in the pack at 37th. A better bag of 15-7 in sunny conditions Friday moved them to sixth place, 2-13 out of the lead.

Their Day 3 took them back on a 45-minute run up the river from the takeoff at Bull Shoals Boat Dock.

“We tried to get away from everyone, get in more stained water up the river,” Floyd said. “We were only getting one good bite a day. The first two days, unfortunately, we lost both those fish. We were scared that was going to come back to haunt us.”

“Today, everything just fell into place for us,” McNeil said. “We got the bites we needed and landed the fish.”

The Bethel anglers flipped a tube the first day, then switched to a Berkley creature bait the last two days, flipping to the more isolated bushes.

“We were just flipping the bushes,” Floyd said. “We kind of keyed into shorter pockets off the main lake, something with a little dirtier water. You’d get on the bank side, try to find some that were separated out a little better.

“I think they were up there spawning. The majority of the bites would be right in the middle, but once in a while you’d be swimming it out and get one.”

Second-place anglers Boone and Riley said the big bite that helped them cull to a 17-4 bag on Day 2 eluded them on Championship Saturday, when their bass came on a Zoom Lizard.

“Everything yesterday came on a ChatterBait,” Riley said. “We just didn’t get a big bite today, and we needed one.”

Boone was appreciative of all the help the bass fishing community in the region offered his team.

“You can’t believe how much stuff I tear up on a daily basis,” he said, again thanking the boat dock mechanics, Ranger and Vexus boat workers for their help this week. “I love this community. I want to retire here.”

Boone and Riley weighed the third largest fish in the event at 5-4. Isaac Duncan and Fisher Young of Blue Mountain College tied Luke Mason and Justin Lane of the University of North Alabama for the big bass with fish weighing 5-9.

Duncan and Young finished fourth with 44-7, just 3 ounces behind the third-place team of Dalton Smith and Wil Rigdon of Campbellsville University.

The Top 20 teams not already qualified for the College National Championship advance to the late summer event at a location to be announced.

After crowning a national champion, the top four teams will compete individually in the Carhartt College Bracket with the end prize being a berth to the 2020 Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.

The B.A.S.S. crew still has work this week in north central Arkansas, with them moving over to Lake Norfork for the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Central Open. A total of 82 teams registered Saturday afternoon for the one-day event. The weigh-in is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. CT. The B.A.S.S. Junior Nation Central Open, with eight teams, will also be held on Norfork, with weigh-in set for approximately 1:30 p.m.

Caleb Kuphall Claims Close Win In Bassmaster Open On Smith Lake

Caleb Kuphall of Mukwonago, Wis., wins the 2019 BassPro.com Central Open on Smith Lake, out of Jasper, Ala., with a three-day total weight of 43 pounds, 2 ounces.

April 27, 2019
JASPER, Ala. — Caleb Kuphall was nowhere to be found on the list of pre-tournament favorites at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Open on Lewis Smith Lake. That changed today, when he won the event with a three-day total weight of 43 pounds, 2 ounces.

Kuphall’s nearest challenger was John Cox of Debary, Fla., who took second with 42-1. Local expert Jordan Wiggins of Cullman was third with 41-3, and David Williams of Newton, NC., settled for fourth with 41-2. Griffin Phillips of Mount Olive, Ala., was fifth with 40-11.

The Mukwonago, Wis., angler was far removed from understanding the nuances of the lake’s nomadic spotted bass. He wisely steered away from what he did not know. Instead, he went searching for largemouth and found enough to keep him in contention to win from the start.

“I came here knowing the dirtiest water would be in the upper reaches of the lake,” Kuphall said. “But I knew that I would need spotted bass in the mix, so I developed a one-two punch for both species.”

Blue herring surfacing near the dam alerted Kuphall to the presence of spotted bass. He began each morning along a 400-yard stretch of chunk rock bank where the bass were feeding upon the bait. With a limit in his livewell Kuphall then traveled to the upper reaches of the lake, where he found a series of pockets lined with shoreline buck brush in stained water.

“It was just what I was looking for, which was the ability to flip buck brush in an area with quality fish,” he said.

The one-two punch of spotted bass and largemouth proved its potential with a Thursday limit weighing 14-4 that put him in ninth place. Friday was a repeat of the productive pattern, and Kuphall returned to the scales with a limit weighing 12-1 that landed him in sixth place. Today proved even better with a final limit weighing 16-13.

Kuphall chose two simple lures that worked specifically for each species. He used homemade 3/8-ounce jigs, one shaped for swimming and the other for flipping, and both tipped with soft plastic crawfish trailers. Green pumpkin was the all-around choice for the jigs and trailers.

“I could see the spotted bass eat the bait in the clear water so all it took was pitching it near them,” he said. “For the largemouth I flipped the jig into the buck brush for the strikes.”

All week the water level was dropping — by as much as 4 feet from the start of practice until today — but that did not hinder his bite.

“The largemouth just moved out with the falling water and staged on new cover,” he explained. “The spotted bass never left because of the food source there along the rocks.”

Cox stayed on the run, choosing a junk fishing pattern of rotating through lures based on the cover he encountered along the way. While the falling water hindered some anglers, it worked in his favor.

“It pulled fish out of the pockets and onto the points,” he explained. “It gave me fresh fish to work on because they never really got caught by other anglers.

Cox’s lure lineup included the new Berkley Choppo 90, which he used as a coverage bait. For slower bites, he used a 5-inch Berkley PowerBait MaxScent The General rigged on a 1/0 Berkley Fusion19 Finesse Wide Gap Hook.

Kuphall won $37,200 and a berth in the 2020 Bassmaster Classic, should he fish the remaining two Central Opens.

Jonathon Barnette of Jasper won the co-angler division after leading all three days. He caught a winning weight of 23-13 and won $18,000, while Todd Lee, also of Jasper, claimed second with 21-11. Keith Honeycutt of Temple, Texas, was third with 21-7, and Mitch Van Ert was fourth with 21-3. Joe Eubanks of Marietta, Ga., was fifth with 21-1.

The Phoenix Big Bass award paid $750 to pro angler Stacy King of Reeds Spring, Mo., for catching a bass weighing 5-11. Dwain Vogelpohl won $250 as the top co-angler with a bass weighing 5-8.

Berkley Cast for Cash rewarded the Top 2 finishing contingency program members in each division. Cox and Greg Pugh of Cullman, Ala., won $1,500 and $1,000, respectively, as the top pros. Barnette and Brian Murphy of Sulphur, La., won $250 and $100 respectively, as the top co-anglers.

Local host was the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County.

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

8th:          Brent Riley, Cross, S.C., 10 bass, 40-13, $6,000

Rodney Tapp of North Augusta, South Carolina, won the Co-angler Division with a two-day total catch of 10 bass weighing 32 pounds, 10 ounces. For his win, Tapp took home a prize package including a Ranger Z175 with a 115-horsepower outboard motor.

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

1st:          Rodney Tapp, North Augusta, S.C., 10 bass, 32-10, $27,300

2nd:         Daniel Taylor, Elizabethton, Tenn., seven bass, 21-8, $5,000

3rd:          Oakley Connor, Travelers Rest, S.C., four bass, 20-8, $4,000

4th:          Bart Beasley, Mount Pleasant, S.C., seven bass, 19-13, $3,550

5th:          Adam Haithcock, Butner, N.C., six bass, 19-1, $3,000

6th:          Kevin Gordon, Aiken, S.C., eight bass, 18-10, $2,500

7th:          Thomas Clark, Wildwood, Fla., seven bass, 18-9, $2,000

8th:          Spencer Sato, Warner Robins, Ga., six bass, 18-8, $1,750

9th:          David Williams, Fredericksburg, Va., six bass, 18-7, $1,750

10th:        Mitch Avant, Pawleys Island, S.C., six bass, 18-7, $1,250

Jamie Booth of Erin, Tennessee, caught the biggest bass of the tournament in the Co-angler Division Friday, a fish weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces. Booth earned the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $200 for his catch.

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.

David Williams Takes Over Lead In Bassmaster Open At Smith Lake

April 26, 2019 JASPER, Ala. — Florida pro David Williams moved from third place into the lead today, jumping ahead of the Thursday leader and runner-up at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Open on Lewis Smith Lake.

Only ounces separate Williams, Jordan Wiggins and John Cox, setting up the potential for a shootout at the scales on Saturday. Williams, of Newton, N.C., caught 15 pounds, 1 ounce, bringing his total weight to 30-12. Wiggins, of Cullman, Ala., dropped to second with 13 pounds and an overall weight of 30-8. Cox, of Debary, held on to third place with 30-1 after weighing 12-14.

Williams is fishing Smith Lake for only the third time, but he was able to find consistently solid daily limits of bass averaging a little more than 3 pounds apiece.

To get that average, Williams had to boat a couple of heavier bass each day.

With only two lightweight keepers in the livewell by midday Thursday, Williams made a pivotal 30-mile run to a new portion of the lake. The result was a limit weighing 15-11 that he boated within 30 minutes. He made the area his first stop today, and quickly caught a limit that included back-to-back 4-pound largemouth.

“During practice I launched from ramps at opposite sides of the lake,” Williams said. “By nothing more than fate, the best quality fishing areas were the farthest apart.”

Williams described his best spot as a transitional spawning area between a shallow cove and the deeper water. With nothing else to go on he relied on a “junk fishing” pattern to catch his fish both days.

Today, the buzz among the anglers was the shad spawn, which is attracting hungry postspawn largemouth to shallow water. The bass are feeding upon the shad during early morning, when the low light provides ambush concealment from the prey.

“It’s a different lake after the sun comes up,” said Cox. “The bite really turns on early, and timing is everything.”

Timing in his case means being at the best fishing spots early as possible. That didn’t work out as well today, when compared to the 17-3 caught by Cox on Thursday.

“I just got out of sync and the rotation was off,” he explained. “I will regroup tonight and try it again tomorrow.”

That means continuing to rely on a junk fishing pattern, or making as many stops as possible on promising areas and using multiple lures to trigger strikes.

Wiggins, the first-day leader, agreed that his bite was all about timing, and being in the right place when the shad were spawning on the shoreline.

“I ran the same pattern as Thursday, and the timing was just off,” Wiggins said. “I had to change to a worm; otherwise I probably wouldn’t have caught anything.”

Jonathon Barnette of Jasper, Ala., continued leading the co-anglers with 17-9. Keith Honeycutt of Temple, Texas, moved from 60th into second place with a total of 16 pounds. Todd Lee of Jasper holds down third place with 15-4. John Brown of Deltona, Fla., is fourth with 15 pounds, and Mike Spears of Jasper is fifth with 14-15.

On Saturday the Top 12 pros and co-anglers compete. The $63,000 cash purse will be divided between the winners, with $37,000 for the top pro and $18,000 for the co-angler.

Contingency awards pay bonus cash to eligible anglers. The Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the tournament pays $750 to the pro and $250 for the co-angler. Berkley Cast for Cash rewards the Top 2 finishing contingency program members in each division. The pros get $1,500 and $1,000, while $250 and $100 go to the co-anglers.

Stacy King of Reeds Spring, Mo., leads the big bass competition among the pros with his catch weighing 5-11. The bass weighing 5-8 caught by Vogelpohl leads the co-angler side. Both fish were caught on Thursday.

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

Local host is the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County.

FLW AND KBF ANNOUNCE INITIAL SPONSORS FOR KAYAK FISHING EVENTS

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

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

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

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

Per terms of the agreements, all brands will receive prominent exposure at the FLW/KBF tournaments and expos, FLW Bass Fishing magazine, FLW and KBF social media channels and websites. They also will receive the opportunity to provide contingency program rewards for winning or highest-placing anglers with cash and/or prizes for anglers complying with their program guidelines. Bonafide Kayak and Jackson Kayak have already implemented their contingency programs, offering an extra $5,000 to anglers who win the event fishing out of a Bonafide- or Jackson-brand kayak.

“We’re excited that these nationally-recognized brands are joining KBF and FLW to take kayak fishing competitions to the next level,” said Chad Hoover, president of the KBF. “These events will be a big success and create excitement that gets anglers fired up, whether they have been fishing for several decades or just getting started.”

Entry fee for the event is $200 per kayak, with a $5,000 payout guaranteed for first place - $10,000 if contingency guidelines are met.

All other qualifiers pay a $500 entry fee. The Dee Zee FLW/KBF Cup will be held Aug. 8-10, 2019, on a lake to be announced in conjunction with the Aug 9-11 FLW Cup on Lake Hamilton.

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

William Samples and Charles Purcell of Anglers Choice Team Trail out of Virginia will defend their title of Bassmaster Team champions at the 2019 Team Championship which will take place on Lake Hartwell out of Anderson, S.C., Dec. 11-14.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Both events are hosted by Visit Anderson.

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

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

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

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

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

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


Lithium Pros Signs Battery Sponsorship With MLF Bass Pro Tour

 
TULSA, Okla. (April 26, 2019) - Major League Fishing® announced today that Lithium Pros, a United States manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, has signed on as a sponsor of the MLF Bass Pro Tour for 2019.
The company brings a history of advanced lithium-ion technology proven in automotive racing circles to competitive bass fishing, a place where battery weight, power, durability and recharge time is arguably even more important.
"While pro anglers' thoughts are about adding pounds to their catches, ours are about taking pounds off of boats and giving fishermen total confidence that they have all the battery power they need aboard to run their boats, electronics and trolling motors without a second thought," said Kevin Bennett, Lithium Products president. "The Bass Pro Tour's popularity and wide audience appeal give us a great place to showcase Lithium Pros' advantages for all who spend long, full days of fishing."
Batteries get a workout on today's bass boats during competitions. MLF's Andy Morgan, winner of the recent Bass Pro Tour Stage Four event, is among the nearly one-fourth of the Bass Pro Tour anglers who rely on the lightweight, long-lasting Lithium Pros' batteries to power their boats, trolling motors and electronics.

"The MLF format relies on and thrives on technological advancements, so we certainly appreciate what Lithium Pros brings to the table in that respect," said MLF President and CEO Jim Wilburn. "We're pleased to have them as part of the exciting 2019 Bass Pro Tour season."
Lithium Pros batteries weigh about one-third that of lead-acid batteries. Plus, they have a higher terminal voltage, a very flat discharge curve in deep cycle models (which translates into a super strong all-day charge), and recharge five times faster. Also, Lithium Pros are fully sealed, which makes them maintenance free.
The Knoxville-based manufacturer has marketing relationships with some of pro bass fishing's most successful anglers, including fellow East Tennesseans Ott DeFoe and Andy Morgan. Among their most recent accomplishments, DeFoe won the 2019 Bassmaster Classic in March, and Morgan claimed top honors at the MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Four event earlier this month.
Lithium Pros also has other sponsored anglers and MLF pros relying on their batteries to power their way through the rigors of competitive bass fishing.
Outdoor Channel announced earlier this week that the Major League Fishing "Cups" and "All Angles" programming topped the ratings list of the network's best-performing shows in the first quarter of 2019. The two ranked as the Top 2 programs on Outdoor Channel during Q1 2019 with households, total viewers and men 25-54.
The impressive audience ratings delivery during the first quarter of 2019 was MLF's best ever quarter.
Major League Fishing programming also airs on airs on World Fishing Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network and Discovery Channel.

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

Advisory for Friday, April 26, 2019 from FLW

 

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

 

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

                             John C. Land III Landing

4404 Greenall Road

Summerton, S.C.

 

NOTES:    

       

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can he work the magic again Friday?

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

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

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

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

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

That is good news considering his track record here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Local host is the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County.

BEAVERS BLASTS 31 ON SANTEE

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

April 24, 2019

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The world championship bass tournament will be held in Birmingham, Ala., with fishing competition taking place on Lake Guntersville in Guntersville, Ala., B.A.S.S. announced today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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