LAKE SEMINOLE SET TO HOST YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING EVENT
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (Jan. 30, 2018) – YETI FLW College Fishing will continue the season with an event Feb. 10 on Lake Seminole presented by Bass Pro Shops. The tournament, hosted by the Bainbridge Convention and Visitors Bureau, is the first of three regular-season events for anglers in the Southeastern Conference, and will feature a top prize of a $2,000 club scholarship and an invitation to compete in the 2019 College Fishing National Championship.
“This is going to be a great tournament,” said FLW Tour pro Buddy Gross of Chickamauga, Georgia, who won the Costa FLW Series event on Lake Seminole in 2017. “The bass are prespawn right now and there are a lot of fish fattened up. The lake is on fire – last weekend it took 32 pounds to win a local tournament – and they’re hitting it at just the right time. They’re going to be able to fish how they’d like and catch them in a lot of different ways.
“I think it’ll likely be a grass deal and the fish will be set up in a lot of pre-spawn areas,” Gross continued. “The bass on Seminole use sand to bed, so I’d be looking for grassy flats and humps near sandy bottoms. I think there will be a big Rat-L-Trap bite, and a flipping bite in the hydrilla. Senkos and swimbaits will produce as well. Teams are going to be able to spread out.”
Gross offered words of advice for college anglers who may be visiting the lake for the first time – be careful.
“Lake Seminole has a lot of standing timber, so it is important that the college anglers take their time and make sure that they are being cautious when driving around the lake,” Gross said. “Look for areas near Spring Creek – there are a lot of little arms and pockets where you can get back to little ponds that offer a lot of opportunity. I think we’ll likely see a winning limit in the mid-20s.”
Competitors will take off from the Bainbridge Earle May Boat Basin, located at 100 Boat Basin Circle in Bainbridge, Georgia, at 7:30 a.m. EST Saturday. Weigh-in will be held at the boat basin beginning at 3 p.m. Takeoff and weigh-in are free and open to the public.

UPDATE ON ANGLERS INVOLVED IN BOATING ACCIDENT AT FLW TOUR ON LAKE OKEECHOBEE
MINNEAPOLIS (Feb. 1, 2018) – Pro competitors Andy Young of Mound, Minnesota, and William Campbell of Middlesboro, Kentucky, were involved in a boat collision on opening day of the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee last week. The collision happened while both anglers were running the lake and met at the end of a boat lane near Moonshine Bay. Co-angler James Bianchi of Rush, New York, was in Young’s boat, while Lee Frye of Brooksville, Florida, was the co-angler in Campbell’s boat.
Young and Bianchi were ejected, but were able to return to their boat after Young’s mandatory ignition shutoff device disengaged the engine. While damaged, both boats returned under their own power to the launch site at the Clewiston Boat Basin.
Young sought medical attention upon his return to the ramp and was admitted to a local medical facility. He has since been released. Bianchi, Campbell and Frye declined medical attention.
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission is currently investigating the accident.
Young’s catch was weighed and he finished the day with five bass weighing 10 pounds even. He was unable to compete on Day Two and finished the tournament in 179th place. Campbell and Frye were late in their return to check-in and they both withdrew from the tournament. Bianchi continued competition and finished in 22ndplace, weighing in 10 bass for 20 pounds, 15 ounces and earning $1,000.
Both Young and Campbell plan to return to the FLW Tour this season.
“It was an accident, plain and simple,” said Campbell, who was fishing in just his second career FLW Tour event. “I’ve been on the water and driving boats for more than 30 years, and I’d never had an accident like this. It’s very unfortunate that it occurred, but I’m extremely thankful that it wasn’t worse.
“This isn’t going to stop me from competing,” Campbell continued. “Becoming a pro bass angler has been a dream of mine since I was 15 years old. For this to happen, on the first day of my first full season, is very disappointing. I will not let this stop me.”
“I’m sore, but I’ll heal and I’m thankful that the accident wasn’t worse,” Young said. “The doctor said that I have a compression fracture in my L2 vertebra – no surgery, but I’ll be in a brace for a few weeks. I’m extremely upset that I’m going to have to miss the Harris Chain tournament and maybe even Lanier, but I’m recovering and you can bet that I will be back out competing on the Tour as soon as I am able.”

Randy Brewer Wins ABA Open Series Texas East Tournament on Cedar Creek with over 21 pounds!
ATHENS, Ala. – Randy Brewer of South Lake, TX won the American Bass Anglers Open Series Texas East Division, held February 3rd at Cedar Creek. Running out of Log Cabin, TX, the 67-boat field left at 0644 AM for the boaters, 13 places were paid out and it took 10.38 pounds to make the cut.
Brewer caught a five-fish limit weighing 21.57 lbs with a healthy 6.21-pound kicker. For the boater division victory, he took home a check for $5000.
“I was throwing a chatterbait and a brush hog. I spent a couple hours practicing yesterday and hit the same spots today, then tried to duplicate those areas with some time left. It started early for me, but I struggled throughout the day. I only had 5 keepers today so I was glad to get the bites I did.” Said Brewer.
In second for the boaters, Garrett Whitley of Quintan, TX landed a five-bass limit weighing 20.92 lbs held up by a 5.69 lb. kicker. He collected a check for $1250.
“It was a rough day for me. I started at the dam and nothing happened for us. I put a bit of a pattern together just running around and trying to figure them out. Later in the afternoon it came together with some better bites and I was able to get them in the boat to come in with what I had. It was a grind, but it worked out. I was just a little shy today.” Said Whitley
Russell Lee of Sachse, TX, last year’s defending champion on Cedar Creek took third for the boaters with a limit of five bass weighing 20.12 lbs and took home a check for $900.00
“I stayed shallow most of the day and caught most of them throwing a crankbait and on a chatterbait. I did catch a couple deep. I was able to cull quite a bit. I had 12 or 13 keepers today and the bite was pretty steady.” Said Lee.
In fourth, Trent Menees of Saginaw, TX had a solid bag for 15.57 lbs, and Terry peacock of Royse City, TX came in with a solid bag of 15.01 lbs to take the fifth-place honors.
In the Co-Angler Division, JoeFrank Thomas of Forney, TX blew past the field with a monster 3 fish limit at 13.05 lbs, anchored by his 5.44 lb. big bass. His performance filled his pocket with a check for $1500 for the win with an additional $250 for big bass.
“I caught some fish! It was all day for us. I culled throughout the day, but I have to give the credit to my boater. We caught them deep and shallow but mostly on a frog. What a day to be able to come in with 13 lbs. I had a blast. The weather turned a little sour on us this afternoon but that’s fishing. You just have to roll with what Mother Nature throws at you.” Said Thomas.
Taking second for the co-anglers, Aaron Uncapher of Tyler, TX came in weighing a 3-fish limit for 6.11 lbs. His placement earned him a check for $500. The gap from first to second place goes to show how tough the conditions were on Saturday.
“Dwain (Burns) and I had an interesting day. we were without use of the outboard after our initial run in the morning. It started working again as we were being towed in around 1:45. Dwain chose a good area as we were able to boat 7 keepers between the two of us. I feel that Dwain would have earned a check with the use of his motor. We wasted some time fishing unproductive water in between the better spots in addition to a 45 minute idle trying to make repairs. I think of the 7-bass boated, six different baits were used. Dwain had us in the right area. I missed one on a wacky senko. As soon as Dwain turned the boat around for another pass, I changed colors and was able to catch that bass 15 minutes later. My two better fish came off a Blk/Blu War Eagle football jig with a zoom craw trailer and a tex-rigged Yamamoto Kreature in green pumpkin. All my bass came shallow.” Stated Aaron.
David Hester of Frankston, TX placed third among the co-anglers. He had three fish weighing in at 5.91 lbs to earn a check for $400.
“My boater started off pretty good, but I didn’t catch any fish until the last 2 hours of the day. We stayed with the same pattern all day but found the right spot in the afternoon and slugged it out. We were up shallow, and they finally started biting.” Stated David.
In fourth place among the co-anglers, Jeremy Montgomery of Mansfield, TX brought in three bass for 5.80 lbs. Lat Nichols of Deport, TX finished in fifth place with three bass at 4.85 lbs even.
The biggest bass for the boaters was caught by Ryan Autry Richardson, TX weighing in at 7.19 lbs for $670. With only 3 fish, Ryan placed in the event taking home two checks from the weight of his big fish. Well done to all!
Slated for March 24th, the next divisional tournament will be held on Lake Palestine launching from the Villages Marina. At the end of the season, the best anglers from across the nation advance to the 2018 Ray Scott Championship, slated for the first week of April 2019 on Lake Eufaula, AL.

Weimer and Wafford win Bass Champs Central Region Season Opener on Travis and $20,000
| By: Patty Lenderman |
| Bass Champs Central Region kicked off their 2018 season February 3rd on Lake Travis. Chilly and windy weather conditions set the scene for 193 teams to compete for a portion of this 106% payback event. Gary Weimer and Jeremiah Wafford reeled in the winnings taking 1st place and the guaranteed $20,000 purse.While the morning started out on the chilly side with some light drizzle, the temperatures continued to rise as the moist conditions dried by mid morning. These teams were prepared with their spots picked out, and several teams brought in sacks weighing over twenty pounds.
For the winners Gary Weimer and Jeremiah Wafford, their day could not have gone better. “We had about fifteen spots targeted after practicing for four days before the tournament,” Gary explained. “During practice, we averaged about 18 pounds per day. The Saturday before the tournament we even landed an 11.77# bass!” They targeted boat docks near deep water with jigs, and their first cast needed an 8.41 pounder – what a way to start the day. Two casts later, they caught another chunk about 7 ½ lbs. After that they moved to their next spot and put their third fish in the boat. “We weren’t catching a lot of fish, but the ones we did catch were good quality.” They wrapped up a limit in their third spot. “We had all of the fish we weighed by 10am. We broke off one big one, but never culled all day.” Their limit weighed in at 27.56 lbs, the top weight of the tournament. In their 18 years of fishing Bass Champs tournaments, they have cashed many checks. This was their first 1st place win, receiving the $20,000 purse. “We would like to thank the Good Lord for watching out for us and blessing us. We would also like to thank our wives, kids, family and friends for their encouragement.” Not too far behind in weight were the 2nd place winners Tony Ferdinando and Shane Logan, having 26.02 lbs. Tony explained “We ran to the lower end of the lake where we had probably twenty different spots picked out.” Using jigs, jigging spoons and Carolina rigs they targeted deep ledges. “The first five fish we had in the live well probably weighed about 16 pounds. We hit a few points with Alabama rigs and caught some, but ended up culling all of those. We just hit all of our spots, then started over and hit them again.” Tony landed their kicker, weighing in at 8.52 lbs and winning Big Bass of the day. They were awarded $4,500 for their 2nd place finish, $500 for Big Bass, then Amphibia added another $250 to their day for earning their bonus. 3rd place was taken by Lee Beuershausen and Randy Grounds. “We had a good morning bite,” Randy reported. They started out on a point with a ledge in 15’-25’ using a Carolina rigged Zoom lizard. They put a limit together, including their kicker weighing in at 7.46 lbs. “After that we went to another ten spots by docks, and culled a few times. We only caught about eight keepers throughout the day. Our last cull was at 2:30, gaining another half pound. They were awarded $3,500 for their 3rd place finish, then Skeeter Boats doubled those winnings for being the highest finishing team in a qualified Skeeter Boat. They also won the Sportsman’s Auto Bonus, plus they took home the Lowrance bonus money. Their day on the water paid off more than $10,000! Rounding out the top five includes (4th) 19.71 lbs, Weston Brown & David Doonan, winning $2,400 plus another $1,000 from the Sportsman’s Auto Bonus. (5th) 19.25 lbs, Byron Albrecht & Michael Johnson for $2,000. All total 26 teams earned checks, the final $600 went to Daniel & Adrian Barnes with 13.63 lbs. There’s never a dull moment at Bass Champs – next stop will be Lake Falcon as the South Region starts their season February 10. Remember – all regular season events are open to anyone who would like a chance to fish for BIG winnings! Whether you can fish one or fish them all, come join the fun!

GEORGIA’S MCCAY WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL SAVANNAH RIVER DIVISION OPENER ON LAKE KEOWEE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS
Williamston’s Lesley Earns Co-angler Title
SENECA, S.C. (Feb. 5, 2018) – Boater J.R. McCay of Helen, Georgia, caught five bass weighing 15 pounds, 7 ounces, Saturday to win the 2018 T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Savannah River Division opener on Lake Keowee presented by Navionics. For his efforts, McCay took home $4,004.
“I had a couple places where I was catching 10 or 11 pounds consistently during practice, but by 9 a.m. Saturday morning I didn’t have a bite from either,” said McCay, who earned his first career win in FLW competition. “I decided to head into the back of a creek on the north end that had stained water, laydowns, docks and stump flats. I threw a swimbait and only had one fish swirl on it, which told me they weren’t very active.”
McCay said he began flipping a ½-ounce brown Spot Sticker Casting Jig with a green-pumpkin-colored Strike King Rage Tail Craw trailer, and was able to put two 4-pounders and a 3-pounder in the boat. Around 2 p.m., he said that he left the area for a long flat with scattered rock on the main lake.
“I used the Spot Sticker and nabbed another 3-pounder,” said McCay. “I caught my last fish on the south end, in 70 feet of water, from a rock pile where fish typically school up. I guess I pulled up to the right place at the right time.”
McCay said he used a blueback-colored Tim Farley Custom Baits Pro X Swimbait to catch his last keeper.
The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:
1st: J.R. McCay, Helen, Ga., five bass, 15-7, $4,004
2nd: Jayme Rampey, Liberty, S.C., five bass, 13-11, $2,002
3rd: Brian Tidwell, Seneca, S.C., five bass, 13-8, $1,267
4th: Edward Humphreys, Alum Creek, W. Va., five bass, 12-8, $888
5th: Matthew Justice, Fair Play, S.C., five bass, 11-10, $761
6th: Daniel Atkins, Anderson, S.C., five bass, 11-9, $697
7th: Marcus Church, Seneca, S.C., five bass, 11-3, $634
8th: Chris Nelson, Social Circle, Ga., five bass, 11-1, $571
9th: Brian Callahan, Gainesville, Ga., five bass, 11-0, $507
10th: Jerry Morgan, Inman, S.C., five bass, 10-12, $444

10th: Brandon Graham, Greer, S.C., three bass, 6-10, $221
Thomas Morris of Walhalla, South Carolina, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division – a 4-pound, 4-ounce fish. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $247.
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. 18-20 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Norman in Huntersville, North Carolina. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard.
The 2018 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American.

Lane Extends Lead On Kissimmee Chain At Bassmaster Eastern Open

Feb. 2, 2018
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Bobby Lane has seen both ends of the weigh-in order, but after Friday’s second round of competition on Florida’s Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, he remains atop the first Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Eastern Open with a two-day total of 42 pounds.
The Bassmaster Elite Series pro from Lakeland, Fla., launched in the first flight on Thursday, but today's later departure greatly delayed his access to the area he’s targeting on Lake Kissimmee. Lane added 10-9 to his first day’s weight of 31-7 — the tournament’s largest catch.
“Yesterday, I caught a few pretty early and today I didn’t even get down there until 10 o’clock,” Lane said. “I’m not sure if that hurt me; but it didn’t help me, by any means. I enjoyed my time in Toho this morning (before locking down to Lake Kissimmee) and caught quite a few fish.
“I thought they were going to bite today. I thought ‘Late flight, I’m gonna see ‘em.’ But they just never showed up.”
Despite weighing a third of his first round effort, Lane still holds a lead of 12 pounds — a pound and a half more than yesterday. This, he said, exemplifies the need to capitalize on opportunities like those of Day 1.
“This is Florida, and it’s all about a big bite. If you have an opportunity to catch those big ones, you want to put them in the boat,” he said. “Yesterday was flawless for me and today, I fished okay. I missed a couple of decent fish. My goal was to catch five and maintain the lead, and that’s what I did.
“But to have a big day like yesterday; you have to have that. It’s hard to be consistent on these lakes, especially with the fronts coming in and out this time of year.”
Targeting a diverse array of shallow vegetation, Lane mixed up his presentations with a variety of baits. He caught bass on a swimjig, a topwater plug and the new Berkley Powerbait Max Scent stickworm called The General. Rigging this junebug colored bait on a 5/0 Trokar hook with two different size weights, Lane fished with inspiration from his 13-year-old daughter, Alexis.
“About a month ago, my daughter whooped me with that bait, so I said ‘Enough of this,’ and I put about 10 bags in the boat,” Lane said. “I’m down to three.”
Friday brought more warmth and partly sunny skies, but the Kissimmee Chain felt more wind, as another cold front moved into the area late in the afternoon. Lane said this might have had an impact on his day, but he’s pleased that his huge Thursday catch positioned him to absorb the downturn.
“Ten pounds is just an average bag, but yesterday was the dream of a lifetime,” Lane said. “I just wanted to come in and see how bad it was, but to have the lead when I looked at (the leaderboard) on my phone, I was like ‘Golly, this is better than I thought.’
“To add to it a little bit doesn’t hurt, and I’m excited about tomorrow. There are some big ones out there to be caught.”
Walt Bowen of Walnut Cove, N.C., is in second place with 30-0. Making a big move from 47th place on Thursday, Bowen caught his limit by dragging a worm around shallow vegetation.
“I did the same thing today that I did yesterday, and I’m not going to make any changes,” he said.
Michael Purvis of Canton, Ga., is in third place with 29-10. Targeting prespawn bass with reaction baits, Purvis said he caught his fish in spurts with the active periods spaced about 45 minutes apart.
Garrett Rocamora of Lithia, Fla., remains in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 9-3 caught on Thursday.
Ohio’s Steve Robbins maintains the lead in the co-angler division with 22-5. Robbins is catching his bass by flipping and dragging plastics. Tony Sears of Dahlonega, Ga., holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with the 9-4 he caught Friday.
Saturday’s takeoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. ET at Big Lake Toho Marina. The weigh-in will be held at the Bass Pro Shops at 5156 International Drive in Orlando at 4 p.m.
The event is hosted by the Kissimmee Sports Commission.

Fishing Community Celebrates 50th Anniversary With 2018 Bassmaster Classic in March
Feb. 1, 2018
Courtesy BASS Communications
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — It’s been called the “Test of the Best” bass anglers, the “Super Bowl of Bass Fishing” and the “World Championship of Fishing.” By any name, the Bassmaster Classic became the salvation of Ray Scott’s Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) when the tournament was launched 47 years ago.
Now known as the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, the annual bass tournament began modestly with just 24 competitors in October 1971. Arkansas angler Bobby Murray won the inaugural Classic, held on Lake Mead, Nevada.
Scott recalls that the lakeside weigh-ins attracted only a handful of spectators. More important than crowds, however, were the two-dozen outdoor writers who attended at Scott’s invitation. Their articles in major publications across the United States lent legitimacy to the fledgling, mainly southern, sport of tournament bass fishing.
Founded 50 years ago, B.A.S.S. struggled for attention in the beginning. The B.A.S.S. Tournament Trail — the first national fishing circuit — was popular among bass anglers but lacked broader exposure until Scott and then-Bassmaster Magazine editor Bob Cobb concocted the season-ending championship.
“It was the turning point,” said former tournament director Harold Sharp, now deceased. “It’s become the thing everybody points to. It’s as high as an angler can go.” B.A.S.S. membership grew rapidly after that first Classic, and the event itself quickly became the most important event in sportfishing. Many industry insiders consider the birth of B.A.S.S. and its tournament circuits to mark the beginning of the modern era of bass fishing and the spark that ignited an economic boom in sportfishing.
When the 48th Classic takes place March 16-18 on Lake Hartwell at Anderson, S.C., it will be unrecognizable compared to its meager beginnings. From 24 outdoor writers who were paired with the pros in 1971, the Classic press corps has grown to more than 200 credentialed media representatives from throughout the United States, as well as Canada, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom.
The prize for claiming the first Classic crown was $10,000, winner take all. The event today pays out $1 million to the 52 qualifiers, including $300,000 to the champion.
Weigh-ins for the first 10 Bassmaster Classics were held at lakeside, but as crowds grew, Scott decided to move weigh-ins indoors, beginning in his hometown of Montgomery, Ala., in 1981. A boat and tackle show was added that year.
“The Classic Outdoors Expo presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods has become a highlight of Classic Week for thousands of fans,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin, who noted that the combined attendance at Classic venues has averaged more than 100,000 for the past six years.
“It has become the biggest and most important consumer tackle show in the nation,” Akin added, “and numerous manufacturers have chosen the Outdoors Expo to debut new lures, rods, reels, boats and motors for the coming season.”
The Expo will be held March 16-18 and cover 250,000 square feet of floor space in the TD Convention Center in Greenville, S.C. Weigh-ins will be in the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in downtown Greenville those days. Attendance at weigh-ins in 2015, the last time the Classic was held in Greenville and Anderson, exceeded 10,000 on weekend afternoons.
Early morning takeoffs, when the pro anglers head out for a day of fishing, have become popular activities for fans, as well. More than 2,000 braved the 10-degree temperature to witness the opening takeoff at Green Pond Landing at Anderson on Hartwell in February 2015.
One of the biggest developments in the evolution of the Classic has been its impact on local economies. Las Vegas barely noticed that 60 or so people were in town for a three-day tournament in 1971. In Greenville next month, more than 4,000 room nights have already been booked just for anglers, expo exhibitors, B.A.S.S. staff and others associated with the event.
Fans traveling from throughout the nation will bring that total to 11,000 room nights, according to Michael Mulone, director of Event and Tourism Partnerships for B.A.S.S. Altogether, Mulone said, economic impact for the Greenville/Anderson area is expected to exceed $24 million.
Clearly, Ray Scott’s Las Vegas Classic gamble, almost 50 years ago, has paid off.

General Tire To Sponsor Winning Ways On ESPN2 For 2018
Jan. 31, 2018
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — General Tire will sponsor Winning Ways, a popular spinoff of The Bassmasters TV show on ESPN2, B.A.S.S. announced today.
Beginning its 12th season, the hour-long show focuses on the techniques and lures used by winners of Bassmaster Elite Series events and reveals how Elite anglers picked apart a fishery and figure out how to find and catch the biggest limits of bass.
General Tire will be the featured sponsor in four airings on ESPN2 this year.
“We’re happy to announce this partnership with Winning Ways,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for General Tire. “We’ve approached fishing with the goal of providing fans behind-the-scenes access to the anglers and tournaments as we’ve found that it really resonates. Partnering with Winning Ways is a great way to continue that initiative.”
In 2017, former Elite Series pro Davy Hite joined the show alongside long-time hosts Tommy Sanders and Mark Zona.
“In a perfect world, we would know every component of every victory on the Bassmaster Elite Series in real time. But that simply doesn’t happen in the heat of competition, for obvious reasons,” said Sanders. “With the Winning Ways show, we are able to explore those strategies in detail and gain a whole new insight on winning at the highest level.
“The shows are some of our most popular, year in and year out. We are so proud to have the partnership of General Tire as we look forward to a very exciting season in 2018.”
The program has won fans who appreciate the action graphics, in-depth interviews with pros and how-to information that anglers can apply to their own fishing.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In the latest of a series of agreements with B.A.S.S., the world’s largest fishing organization, Mossy Oak has become the presenting sponsor of the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament on the upper Chesapeake Bay, B.A.S.S. announced today.

Harris Chain Primed to Pump Out Big Fish in BBT Opener
By Pete Robbins
The 9th season of the wildly popular Big Bass Tour will kick off this weekend on Central Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes. This is always a well-attended event, and with good reason – it tends to produce multiple big bass, usually at least one over 10 pounds, and it’s rare that anything under 4 pounds garners an hourly check. This year competitors will see it at its peak as they vie for a grand prize of a 2018 Nitro Z19 with a Mercury 150HP ProXS outboard valued at $36,000 and $42,350 in hourly checks.
To get a sense of how fertile and prolific the Harris Chain is right now, you only need to know that former Tour pro Mike Kernan of Texas drove past many of the Lone Star State’s fabled big fish factories to vacation here for three days last week. He caught up to 100 fish a day, including one pushing 9 pounds, despite the fact that he felt that things weren’t exactly right just yet.
“The first group of spawners moved up, but they got kicked off of the beds by a series of cold fronts,” he said. “Some of them – maybe 20 percent – stayed on the beds in the warmer creeks and canals, the ones with springs, but most of them are waiting for this week’s warmer weather to move back up. The day I caught the big one, I saw two other big ones on a bed, but neither was committed enough to mess with. I saw one other big one cruising and four bucks on beds. The next day there were 15 bucks on beds in those same areas. The beds are already made and they’re wanting to go back, so after two or three days of a warming trend they’ll be right back on them. It should be unbelievable.”
He said that sight fishing will be the best way to catch an hourly winner, but that a reliable second pattern is to throw a jerkbait in offshore grass beds in Harris and Little Griffin. Early in the day he said that a two-hook firetiger model produced fish up to 5 pounds, but when the water warmed up in the early afternoon a three-hook jerkbait with a purple back and gold sides was much more effective. Normally, he might not fish the grass jerkbait at all if he was just looking for a single big fish, but he noted that many of the bedding fish move up hourly, and that searching for a spawner in the morning might not be a wise use of the time.
On the day that he caught the big fish, he’d already made two passes down that same canal without seeing the big girl, and only on the third pass did she appear. That should give comfort to competitors who are worried that prime canals will be overpressured late in the day, forcing a derby-style race to camp on key beds. “Only 1 percent of the fish will be there first thing in the morning,” Kernan said. “They’re not gone. They’re just not going to show up until about 10 o’clock. Go fish a grass bed early for about two hours and then start running canals.”
Once he finds a committed bedding bass, he’ll rotate through three or four soft plastics to agitate them to bite. Because the water is so clear, gaudy colors aren’t necessary for visibility. He’ll start with natural-colored craws, lizards, creature baits and tubes until he finds which one provokes the territorial big bass most quickly.
For anglers who do not want to sight fish or throw a jerkbait, Kernan said that there also could be a decent bite flipping in the Kissimmee grass, although he expects that to develop more fully next month.
As always, this tournament will require contestants to exercise caution and judgment in choosing when to weigh in their fish. There are substantial no-wake zones between many of the lakes, so making a long “run” with a subpar fish can be costly. Last year there were two 10 pounders caught, so you don’t want to spend a lot of time without a line in the water if you don’t have a chance of claiming a check. In 2015, Robby Peralta caught a 10.15 pound beast on Sunday, so no matter where you are, or how late in the game it might be, you’re just one cast away from the fish of a lifetime.
PRO TIP: Don’t forget to pay close attention to the Bass Pro Shops Big Bass Tour Live Leaderboard, which automatically refreshes every 15 seconds. The Big Bass Tour is first and foremost about catching big fish, but elements of timing and strategy play a key role in maximizing your chances of claiming a top prize, particularly on waterways where it takes a fair amount of time to get between two places. Study past events, too, to see which hours tend to have the highest winning weights and lowest qualifying weights for hourly prizes. Past results are no guarantees of future outcomes, but they may be instructive.

Team Minn Kota®Adds New Member to its Team.... Welcome KVD!
RACINE, Wis., January 29, 2018 – When Kevin VanDam hits Alabama’s Lake Martin in February for the kickoff of the 2018 Bassmaster Elite season, his bass boat will look a bit different than in previous years. This marks the first time that bass fishing’s leading money winner will run a Minn Kota® Ultrex trolling motor, as well as Talon® shallow-water anchors.
VanDam commented, “I appreciate all the incredible sponsors I’ve worked with throughout my career, and now I’m excited Minn Kota has asked me to join their team. The Minn Kota Ultrex and Talons are going to take my game to the next level. I’ve been benefitting from Humminbird technology for years. That, coupled with the Ultrex and Talons give me the ultimate in boat control and the flexibility to make adjustments from anywhere in the boat, thanks to the fact that they're designed and engineered to connect and work together."
VanDam’s prowess on the water is beyond compare, as evidenced by his seven Bassmaster Angler of the Year titles and 24 B.A.S.S. victories. Competition, however, is growing more fierce with talented Elite Series pros capitalizing on new technology like the Minn Kota Ultrex. The revolutionary trolling motor with power steering literally changed bass fishing forever when it was put into play last season. With features like Spot-Lock, and i-Pilot Link, anglers can stay on a precise spot, move in 5-foot increments with the push of a button, follow exact depth contours and much more. Ultrex basically controls boat positioning on its own, so anglers can focus on catching fish.
According to Minn Kota and Humminbird Pro-Staff Manager Tim Price, “We’re honored that Kevin decided to join our team. He’s trusted Humminbird for years, and now that he’s outfitted with an Ultrex and Talons, he’ll have boat control like he’s never experienced before.”
“Few things have impacted bass fishing like Spot-Lock has. We saw a new level of boat control on the Bassmaster Elite Series last year and the guys using Ultrex had a distinct advantage. It makes managing your boat while fishing, rigging and even culling so easy that it has literally changed the way people fish for the better,” VanDam said.
KVD’s boat will also get more control and versatility in 2018 with two Minn Kota Talon shallow-water anchors at the stern. They deploy from anywhere in the boat from a variety of wireless options and even from KVD’s Humminbird® units.
“Minn Kota, Humminbird and Talon products are designed to work together to allow the angler to concentrate on the presentation and the hookset while we take care of everything else. This year we will see what the best angler in the world can do with it, and that’s going to be really exciting,” Price says.

FLORIDA’S FREDERICK WINS FLW TOUR AT LAKE OKEECHOBEE
Leesburg Pro Catches 19-pound, 14-ounce Final Day Limit, Wins $100,000
CLEWISTON, Fla. (Jan. 28, 2018) – When Leesburg, Florida, angler Tim Frederick turned pro and began competing on the Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) Tour, the first event of his career was at Lake Okeechobee in February of 2016. Frederick managed to catch just one bass in two days of competition at that tournament and finished in 169th – last place. On Sunday, Frederick redeemed himself by catching a five-bass limit weighing 19 pounds, 14 ounces, to earn the win the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude.
Frederick’s four-day total of 20 bass weighing 85-4 gave him the win by a narrow 1-pound, 2-ounce margin over second-place pro Bryan Schmitt of Deale, Maryland, and earned him $100,000 in a dramatic finale to the four-day event that featured 188 of the best bass anglers in the world kicking off the 2018 FLW Tour season.
“I’m still a little shocked,” said Frederick, whose previous best finish in FLW Tour competition was a 14th place finish on the Harris Chain of Lakes in 2017. “I didn’t think that I had as much weight that I did today. Some of the best fisherman on the planet were fishing in this event and to come out on top after four days – this is a dream come true.”
Frederick caught his bass throughout the week by targeting isolated reed clumps in Harney Pond.
“I was so stressed today,” Frederick said. “I had a small limit and I had missed a good one earlier and I did not know whether to leave or to stay. I had to sit down for a minute and regain my composure and I decided to stick it out in that area. I had nothing else to go to, and that place had been special to me. With just 10 minutes left in the day, I caught a big one. It was a $100,000 fish.”
Frederick’s “big one” was an estimated 8-pounder that was most certainly the winning fish. Frederick said that all of his fish this week came on a pair of stickbaits – a Strike King Ocho (black with blue flake or black with blue tail) and a Strike King Shim-E-Stick (black with blue flake or black with blue tail) – and a Strike King Pure Poison Swim Jig (green-pumpkin) with a Rage Bug trailer.
“I think the keys for me this week were my Power-Poles, my Florida knowledge, and patience,” Frederick went on to say. “It would have been near impossible for me to fish some of the areas that I did this week if I wouldn’t have been able to pole down. And when I would first pull up to a spot I would target the key areas. Sometimes it took multiple casts and fishing extremely slow, but every fish that I caught were in those key areas.”
The top 10 pros on Lake Okeechobee finished:
1st: Tim Frederick, Leesburg, Fla., 20 bass, 85-4, $100,000
2nd: Bryan Schmitt, Deale, Md., 20 bass, 84-2, $30,000
3rd: General Tire pro Mark Rose, West Memphis, Ark., 20 bass, 78-5, $25,500
4th: Jared McMillan, Belle Glade, Fla., 20 bass, 73-13, $20,100
5th: Brandon McMillan, Clewiston, Fla., 20 bass, 69-12, $19,000
6th: Christopher Brasher, Longview, Texas, 20 bass, 67-4, $18,000
7th: Chad Morgenthaler, Reeds Spring, Mo., 20 bass, 67-1, $17,000
8th: Quaker State pro Scott Canterbury, Odenville, Ala., 20 bass, 65-15, $16,000
9th: Power-Pole pro Cory Johnston, Cavan, Ontario, Canada, 20 bass, 60-5, $15,500
10th: Chris Johnston, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, 20 bass, 59-5, $14,000
Compete results for the entire field can be found at FLWFishing.com.
Overall there were 50 bass weighing 157 pounds, 13 ounces caught by pros Sunday. All of the final 10 pros weighed in five-bass limits.
Jeffrey Mathews of Maitland, Florida, won the co-angler division and $20,000 Friday with a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 42 pounds, 1 ounce, followed by Tyler Woolcott of Port Orange, Florida, who finished in second place with 10 bass weighing 37 pounds, 15 ounces, worth $7,600.
The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude was more than $930,000, including $10,000 through 60th place in the Pro division. The tournament was hosted by Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort and the Hendry County Tourism Development Council. The next event for FLW Tour anglers will be the FLW Tour at the Harris Chain of Lakes, Feb. 22-25 in Leesburg, Florida, hosted by Lake County, Florida.
Television coverage of the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude will premiere in high-definition (HD) on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) March 28 from Noon-1 p.m. EST. The Emmy-nominated "FLW" television show airs on NBCSN, the Pursuit Channel and the World Fishing Network and is broadcast to more than 564 million households worldwide.
In FLW Tour competition, pros and co-anglers are randomly paired each day, with pros supplying the boat, controlling boat movement and competing against other pros. Co-anglers fish from the back deck against other co-anglers. The full field of 376 anglers competed in the two-day opening round. Co-angler competition concluded following Friday’s weigh-in, while the top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advanced to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continued competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.
Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2018 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 10-12 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.

FLORIDA’S FREDERICK GRABS LEAD ON DAY THREE OF FLW TOUR AT LAKE OKEECHOBEE
Leesburg Pro Brings 15-ounce Lead into Final Day
CLEWISTON, Fla. (Jan. 27, 2018) – Pro Tim Frederick of Leesburg, Florida, caught two kicker largemouth Saturday – a 6- and 7-pounder – to anchor his 23-pound, 3-ounce limit and jump to the top of the leaderboard after Day Three of the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude. Frederick’s five-bass limit was the only bag Saturday that weighed in excess of 20 pounds, telling when you consider that the lake had pumped out 16, 20+ pound limits in the first two days of competition.
Frederick (15 bass, 65-6) will now bring a 15-ounce lead over second-place pro Bryan Schmitt of Deale, Maryland, (15 bass, 64-7) who led the first two days of competition, into Championship Sunday. Also in striking distance, in third place, is General Tire pro Mark Rose of West Memphis, Arkansas, (15 bass, 61-3). Rose has a history of fast starts to the season, winning the first two events of the 2017 FLW Tour season at Lake Guntersville and Lake Travis.
“My very first FLW Tour event three years ago was on this lake, and I weighed in one bass and finished dead last,” said Frederick, who is fishing in his 14th career FLW Tour event. “I’ve got a love-hate relationship with this lake, and right now I am loving it. I didn’t get a lot of bites today, but the ones that I did get were good ones.
“Although my day turned out really well, it didn’t start that way,” Frederick continued. “It was terribly slow. I caught one of my good ones early – my second fish – but then it took me forever to get a limit. When the water temperature hit 64 degrees I had a 45- to 50-minute window where I caught two more good ones, but I didn’t catch more than 9 or 10 fish all day.”
Frederick said that his key bait that landed all of his keepers on Saturday was a Texas-rigged black and blue-colored Strike King Ocho worm. He’s also mixed in a Strike King Pure Poison Swim Jig and an unnamed swimjig to produce at times during the week.
“I’m usually a power-fisherman, and it’s weird because I’m fishing so slowly this week,” Frederick said. “I’m throwing at isolated clumps of pencil reeds and it might take me 5 minutes to reel back in. But, if it doesn’t feel right, I’ll just reel in immediately and make another pitch. I’m fishing by feel, basically. I can actually feel the beds with my bait, and when I do I’ll keep making multiple casts to the same area.
“The bite was tougher today, and I think it was due to how cloudy it was. Tomorrow, they’re saying that it’s going to be worse – rainy and windy. But, my water is still clean and I’ve got no choice but to be patient and stick it out there. Win, lose or draw, there is enough fish in my area to win it. I just have to get them to bite.”
The top 10 pros advancing to the final day of competition on Lake Okeechobee are:

Double-Digit Bass Lifts Wisconsin-Platteville To Top Spot In Bassmaster College Series Central Tour

MANY, La. — Toledo Bend showed its true colors on Friday during the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Central Tour presented by Bass Pro Shops. After only offering a single 20-pound bag on the first day of competition, nine teams met that mark or more on Friday.
Conner Choate and Hunter DeSplinter of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville stole the show as they brought 25 pounds, 9 ounces, to the stage on Friday and jumped into the lead with a two-day total of 41-6. Their day was anchored by a monster catch as their kicker tipped the scales at 10 pounds.
It not only was DeSplinter’s personal best, but it was also recognized as an elite catch by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
“We showed up to our first spot just looking to get a limit in the 11- to 12-pound range,” DeSplinter said. “We had that before 8:30 a.m., so we just kept fishing around and working hard.”
After catching 15-13 on Day 1, just a solid limit would have helped their chances greatly. But what happened after their initial limit is now an unforgettable memory for this duo.
“At 10 a.m., I hooked into the 10-pounder,” DeSplinter said. “I had never seen a fish so big. It jumped at the boat; I for sure thought I was going to lose it, but we didn’t.”
The fireworks were just beginning as they gathered themselves and continued fishing. They hit a few nearby spots and caught keepers that wouldn’t help their overall weight, so they returned to the spot that produced earlier.
“We returned to that spot and immediately caught a fish close to 7 pounds,” DeSplinter said. “We packed up and headed back to the ramp to ensure the giant fish survived.”
The duo is now preparing to fend off 29 other teams during Saturday’s final day of competition. Coming into the event, their mindset was solely focused on qualifying for the National Championship. But now they have a chance to take home the title of the inaugural Central Tour format.
“We had no expectations leaving the dock (Friday),” Choate said. “So, we need to keep that same mindset because everything can change so quickly.”
Behind Wisconsin-Platteville are Thursday’s leaders Tyler Craig and Spencer Lambert of the University of Louisiana at Monroe. The duo slipped to second place, but eclipsed the 20-pound mark for the second consecutive day, the only team to accomplish that in the 248-boat field.
“It’s extremely important to stay consistent on Toledo Bend,” said Craig, whose team has a two-day weight of 41-1. “You can catch up in a hurry with a big bag, but at the same time you can stumble and fall if you rely on a giant bite each day.”
Craig and Lambert have landed five and six keepers, respectively, the last two days, and both days have featured crucial catches just before check-in. But they know they are targeting quality and may not need quantity to win.
“It’s not easy fishing for a handful of bites, but I feel like the bigger fish are trickling into our area,” Craig said. “It seems like our spots are the transition areas and the fish are pulling up and feeding, and then when they leave they are headed to even shallower water to spawn.”
It could be a battle until the last cast as first and second are separated by only 5 ounces heading into the final frame of action.
Caiden Sinclair and Hunter Gibson of the University of Alabama vaulted into third place after bringing the second-biggest bag of the day to the scales. Their 22-11 limit has them just over 3 pounds from the lead and within sight of a possible title with 38-3.
The final team to sneak into the cut was Bethel University’s John Garrett and Brian Pahl. The duo has finished second and fourth in the last two national championships, and Garrett was the 2016 College Classic Bracket champion who represented the College Series during the 2017 season.
The 248-team field was cut after Friday’s weigh-in to the Top 30. Those teams clinched a berth in the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops and will be fishing for the win on Saturday.
The final-day takeoff will begin at 7 a.m. CT from Cypress Bend Park, and the weigh-in will be held back at the park at 3 p.m.
The event is being hosted by Toledo Bend Lake Country.

SCHMITT MAINTAINS LEAD ON DAY TWO OF FLW TOUR AT LAKE OKEECHOBEE
Florida’s Mathews Wins Co-angler Title
CLEWISTON, Fla. (Jan. 26, 2018) – Day One leader Bryan Schmitt of Deale, Maryland, brought a five-bass limit to the scale Friday weighing 23 pounds, 8 ounces, to slightly extend his lead after Day Two of the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude. He’ll bring a slim 14-ounce lead over General Tire pro Mark Rose of West Memphis, Arkansas, into Day Three of the four-day event that featured a field of 376 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals casting for top awards of up to $125,000.
Local pro Brandon McMillan of Clewiston leads the local contingent with 36-13, good for eighth place, while Clewiston’s Scott Martin sits in 12th place with 33-13. Brandon’s little brother, Jared McMillan of Belle Glade, also made the top-30 cut and will start Day Three in 15th place with 33-8. The field is now cut to 30 for Saturday’s competition with only the top 10 anglers advancing to championship Sunday.
“I went back to my same spot where I caught them yesterday and kind of expanded on my area today,” said Schmitt, a two-time Forrest Wood Cup qualifier. “There was a little more boat traffic in there today, and it took me a while to get into a new comfort zone. I caught probably 12 fish today – five good ones – but most of my weight came between 12 and 3.”
Schmitt is sharing the area with many of the tournament leaders, including the Johnston brothers from Canada. He said that all of his fish that he weighed in came on a different bait than yesterday.
“I had to change to a different bait today – a Riot Baits Recon (vibrating jig),” Schmitt continued. “At this point there aren’t many secrets and we all know what each other are doing. It’s going to come down to whoever gets lucky over the next two days. The winning fish are there. The potential for a 30-pound limit is sitting right there.
“There are definitely some fish spawning. And there are still some coming in. I think it’s the perfect storm.”
The top 30 pros that made the cut and will fish Saturday on Lake Okeechobee are:

In FLW Tour competition, pros and co-anglers are randomly paired each day, with pros supplying the boat, controlling boat movement and competing against other pros. Co-anglers fish from the back deck against other co-anglers. The full field of 376 anglers competed in the two-day opening round. Co-angler competition concluded following Friday’s weigh-in, while the top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.
The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude is more than $930,000, including $10,000 through 60th place in the Pro division. The tournament is hosted by Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort and the Hendry County Tourism Development Council.
Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2018 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 10-12 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.
Anglers will take off at 7:30 a.m. EST each day from Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort, located at 920 E. Del Monte, Ave., in Clewiston. Friday’s weigh-ins, Jan. 26, will be held at the resort beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, Jan. 27-28, will also be held at the resort, but will begin at 4 p.m.
Prior to the weigh-ins Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 27-28, FLW will host a free Family Fishing Expo at Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort from noon to 4 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 marina on Saturday, Jan. 27 from 9-11 a.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.

KENNESAW, Ga. - Yamaha Marine Group is pleased to welcome anglers Jordan Lee, Matt Lee, Hunter Bland, Zach Axtman, Scott Rhodes, and Troy Creasy to the Pro Team for the 2018 season. The new team members will compete within the bass and walleye professional tournament circuits, and will serve as ambassadors of the Yamaha Marine brand throughout the year. Yamaha Marine also congratulates 11-year Pro Team member Bill Lowen on his new partnership with Xpress Boats for the 2018 season.
“We are thrilled to welcome this outstanding group to the Yamaha Marine Pro Fishing family,” said David Ittner, Tournament, Sponsorship and Pro Staff Manager, Yamaha Marine Group. “These are incredibly talented anglers who share Yamaha’s high standards of sportsmanship and ethics. They will make great additions to our team, and we look forward to an exceptional 2018 season.”
2017 Bassmaster Classic® winner Jordan Lee joins the Yamaha Pro team in 2018 as a B.A.S.S.® Elite angler. The 26-year-old angler from Grant, Ala., has been fishing professionally for four years and has had 19 top-10 finishes and 25 top-20 finishes during his short career. His Classic win in Houston solidified his standing as one of the top young Elite anglers. Jordan’s brother, Matt Lee of Guntersville, Ala., also joins the Yamaha Pro team in 2018. Like Jordan, Matt has been fishing professionally for four years as a B.A.S.S.® Elite angler.
“The Yamaha Marine brand represents unmatched performance and reliability on the water, and I am proud to be running a Yamaha outboard on the back of my boat for 2018,” said Jordan Lee. “I believe there are many great opportunities ahead for me this year, and I look forward to working with Yamaha to make this my most successful Elite season ever.”
Hunter Bland will represent the Yamaha Pro Fishing Team during the Bassmaster® Eastern Open tournaments in 2018. Bland is a 2017 graduate of the University of Florida and will serve as an ambassador for boating safety and Yamaha Marine’s Code of Ethics during speaking engagements throughout the year.
In addition, Zach Axtman and Scott Rhodes will join Yamaha Marine’s Pro Walleye Team, fishing the Cabela’s® Masters Walleye Circuit, Cabela’s® National Walleye Tour and the Angler’s Insight Marketing (AIM™) Pro Walleye Series. Professional Northeastern guide Troy Creasy will also join the Yamaha Multi-Species Pro Fishing Team in 2018.

SCHMITT DROPS 24 POUNDS - LEADS DAY ONE OF FLW TOUR AT LAKE OKEECHOBEE

Arkansas’ Roberts Leads Co-Anglers
CLEWISTON, Fla. (Jan. 25, 2018) – Maryland Pro Bryan Schmitt surprised even himself on Thursday. The six-year FLW Tour veteran caught a five-bass limit weighing 24 pounds, 11 ounces, to take the lead on opening day of the 2018 season at the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee. The event, presented by Evinrude, features a field of 376 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals and co-anglers casting for top awards of up to $125,000 cash in the pro division and up to $25,000 cash in the co-angler division.
The weather conditions in central Florida were good Thursday despite a brisk north wind that prompted Tournament Director Bill Taylor to advise anglers to use the protected canals and rim ditches instead of trying to make a run across the middle of the lake. The main challenge for tournament anglers was finding clear water.
“This was not expected,” said Schmitt, a two-time Forrest Wood Cup qualifier who has 10 wins in FLW competition – all on rivers and tidal fisheries. “The final afternoon of practice I found one spot where I got a ton of little bites. I decided to go there today and I guess that they have grown up a little bit.”
Schmitt caught all of his bass – including a pair of 6-pound, 13-ounce largemouth – from his one spot, throwing just one bait.
“I hammered it, all day,” he said. “An hour and a half in, I changed the bait and started throwing something that I hadn’t thrown, but it’s a bait that I have a lot of confidence in. It was like a lightbulb went off and every one of my fish came on that bait.
“I really hope it doesn’t get dirty,” Schmitt continued. “Towards the end of the day the wind was starting to put mud in there and if it (wind) changes a hair, it’s done. The problem is that my only other place where I caught any fish in practice is so far away that I don’t know if I’ll have enough fuel to make it there. That’s a big problem.”
Schmitt credited his “lucky” co-angler Darlene Ferguson of Tehachapi, California, as another factor that contributed to his success.
“She caught two fish and she’s really good luck,” he went on to say. “She has a reputation among some of the pros as being really good luck to have in the boat with you.”
The top 10 pros after day one on Lake Okeechobee are:
1st: Bryan Schmitt, Deale, Md., five bass, 24-11
2nd: General Tire pro Mark Rose, West Memphis, Ark., five bass, 24-0
3rd: Christopher Brasher, Longview, Texas, five bass, 22-0
4th: Britt Myers, Clover, S.C., five bass, 21-8
5th: Tyler Stewart, West Monroe, La., five bass, 21-2
6th: Michael Neal, Dayton, Tenn., five bass, 21-0
7th: Power-Pole pro Cory Johnston, Cavan, Ontario, Canada, five bass, 20-11
8th: Brandon Mosley, Choctaw, Okla., five bass, 20-9
9th: Cameron Gautney, Muscle Shoals, Ala., five bass, 20-5
10th: Bradley Dortch, Atmore, Ala., five bass, 19-9
For a full list of results See Below:
Johnston earned the day's $500 Simms Big Bass award in the pro division thanks to an 8-pound, 4-ounce largemouth.
Overall there were 883 bass weighing 2,128 pounds, 8 ounces caught by 186 pros Thursday. The catch included 165 five-bass limits.
Pro competitors Andy Young of Mound, Minnesota, and William Campbell of Middlesboro, Kentucky, were involved in a boat collision on Lake Okeechobee Thursday afternoon. The collision happened while both anglers were running the lake and met at an intersection, with Campbell’s boat striking the port (left) side of Young’s boat. Young and his co-angler were ejected, but were able to return to their boat after Young’s mandatory ignition shutoff device disengaged the engine. Both boats were able to return to the launch site at the Clewiston Boat Basin and the accident is under investigation by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Young decided to seek medical attention upon his return to the ramp. Young’s catch was weighed and he finished the day with five bass weighing 10 pounds even, good for 117th place, while Campbell was late in his return to check-in and did not weigh in.
Dustin Roberts of Dardanelle, Arkansas, leads the co-angler division with five bass weighing 23 pounds, 13 ounces, followed by Shawn Wildt of Bullard, Texas, who weighed five bass totaling 19-10, good for second place.
The top 10 co-anglers after day one on Lake Okeechobee are:
1st: Dustin Roberts, Dardanelle, Ark., five bass, 23-13
2nd: Shawn Wildt, Bullard, Texas, five bass, 19-10
3rd: Robby Frashier, Carrollton, Ga., five bass, 19-6
4th: Tyler Woolcott, Port Orange, Fla., five bass, 18-4
5th: Don Ortwein, Anderson, Ind., five bass, 15-13
6th: Jeffrey Mathews, Maitland, Fla., five bass, 15-12
7th: Josh Lockard, Somerset, Ky., five bass, 15-5
8th: Joel Willert, Lakeville, Minn., five bass, 15-2
9th: Todd Lee, Jasper, Ala., five bass, 14-10
10th: Jordan Thompkins, Myrtle Beach, S.C., five bass, 14-9
Roberts earned $250 for the Simms Big Bass award in the co-angler division with a 9-pound, 7-ounce largemouth.
Overall there were 643 bass weighing 1,242 pounds even caught by 172 co-anglers Thursday. The catch included 86 five-bass limits.
In FLW Tour competition, pros and co-anglers are randomly paired each day, with pros supplying the boat, controlling boat movement and competing against other pros. Co-anglers fish from the back deck against other co-anglers. The full field of 376 anglers competes in the two-day opening round. Co-angler competition concludes following Friday’s weigh-in, while the top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.
The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude is more than $930,000, including $10,000 through 60th place in the Pro division. The tournament is hosted by Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort and the Hendry County Tourism Development Council.
Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2018 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 10-12 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.
Anglers will take off at 7:30 a.m. EST each day from Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort, located at 920 E. Del Monte, Ave., in Clewiston. Friday’s weigh-ins, Jan. 26, will be held at the resort beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, Jan. 27-28, will also be held at the resort, but will begin at 4 p.m.
Prior to the weigh-ins Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 27-28, FLW will host a free Family Fishing Expo at Roland & Mary Ann Martin’s Marina and Resort from noon to 4 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 marina on Saturday, Jan. 27 from 9-11 a.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.
Television coverage of the FLW Tour at Lake Okeechobee presented by Evinrude will premiere in high-definition (HD) on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) March 28 from Noon-1 p.m. EST.

Z-Man Teams up with Rising Bassmaster Elite Series Star Mark Daniels Jr
Press Release & Photos Courtesy of Z-Man
|
Ladson, SC (January 24, 2018) – Good fishing stories are timeless, some even read a little like the archetypal hero’s journey. You find yourself pulling for the good guy: to slay the mythic dragon, or more importantly, to hook the giant fish. You can’t help but root for a dude like Mark Daniels Jr. Fresh off his first full season on the Bassmaster Elite Series and a new endorsement deal with pioneering tackle company Z-Man Fishing, you might say Daniels’ day has come. But for this particular angler, the journey has been every bit as interesting as its outcome. “I grew up on the shores of San Francisco Bay, where my pops took me fishing every chance he got,” recalls the likeable, Tuskegee, Alabama based angler. “We fished for anything that bit—didn’t matter. So long as it pulled our strings, we were happy.” |
|
|
A few years later, Daniels’ family moved to Suisun City, California, taking him 35 miles from the bay and its fish. “Thankfully, one of my dad’s best friends, Doug Rodgers, was somewhat of a bass tournament guy. He’d take us fishing in his 16-foot Bayliner, and right away, something about bass just clicked. “From age five or six, I was absolutely glued to Hank Parker, Bill Dance and the Bassmasters on TV. I’d flip through Bass Pro Shops’ enormous catalog non-stop, always trying to scrounge together enough money for a box of new tackle. Eventually, I discovered some local bass ponds where I could fish all these cool lures. Can’t tell you how many times I made that two-mile walk. Man, I was hooked.” Following years of weekend bass derbies, Daniels’ tenacity resulted in a big win at the 2013 Bass Federation Championship. Part of the prize package earned him the so-called Living the Dream Package. “The Bass Federation doesn’t get enough credit for this awesome program,” notes Daniels. “The Federation paid all my entry fees on the FLW Tour for a year, plus a truck and boat and travel expenses. Basically, they made it possible for a typical blue-collar American to fish for a living. That was the beginning of everything for me — I’ve been living the dream ever since!” |

One of Daniels' finesse go-to baits: Z-Man Hula StickZ |
|
Following years of different sponsorships—some good, some Daniels chalked up to ‘learning experiences,’ the energetic angler met the folks at Z-Man Fishing. The connection was immediate. “I knew immediately, after following Mark a few years back when he was featured on FLW’s Circuit Breaker series that he was someone we needed to work with,” says Daniel Nussbaum, President of Z-Man Fishing. “Mark projects just an awesome positive energy and a passion for tournament fishing. He’s a tremendously skilled angler—his fast-rising career on the Bassmaster Elite Series is certainly rivaled by his ability to connect with fans and enthusiastically promote his sponsors. “We’re really looking forward to working with Mark on new bait designs as we continue to broaden the Z-Man product line.” Daniels adds: “One thing I’ve realized is that relationships matter more than anything. Making money in tournaments and sponsorships is nice. But connecting with truly great companies and solid, honorable people is everything.” “I like that Z-Man is different. Their products are so inventive—outside the box and awesome fish-catchers. I mean, nothing they do is “me-too.” Everyone knows about the Chatterbait, right? Totally different deal, and deadly. But when my buddy and fellow bass pro Brian Latimer turned me on to some of their finesse baits — Finesse TRD, Hula StickZ, TrickShotZ — it changed my world. “I’ve got a Finesse TRD on my rod right now that’s still ticking after fifty-plus catches. How crazy is that?” |

Ranger Cup University Announces 2018 Program Details
FLIPPIN, Ark. – Collegiate bass anglers will have more opportunity to cash in on tournament success in 2018 thanks to the continued support of Ranger Cup University. The contingency program, designed by Ranger Boats exclusively for college anglers, is free of charge and open to any college angler, regardless of the brand of boat they own.
To remain qualified in the program, anglers need only adhere to simple clothing and logo requirements while fishing select ACA- and FLW-affiliated events. Additionally, Ranger has once again partnered with Gemini Custom Apparel, the industry’s leading tournament apparel provider, who will offer custom jersey pricing for as low as $48 for Ranger Cup University anglers.
For the 2018 season, each qualified event will feature a cash prize paid to the Ranger Cup University-qualified team/angler with the highest place of finish. A $200 cash prize will be paid at each of the 15 Yeti FLW College Fishing qualifying events, while each of the select events below feature a $500 cash prize:
Cabela’s Collegiate Big Bass Bash (Mar. 9-11, Kentucky Lake)
Collegiate Bass Fishing Open (Oct. 11-13, Lake Dardanelle)
Collegiate Texas Lunker Challenge (Feb. 11, Sam Rayburn Reservoir)
Yeti FLW College Fishing Open (Mar. 6, Kentucky-Barkley Lakes)
In addition to payouts at the above regular-season events, a $2,000 cash prize will be awarded to any Ranger Cup University-qualified team/angler that wins either the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship or the Yeti FLW College Fishing National Championship. In the event that the winners of either major championship are not Ranger Cup University participants, a $1,000 cash prize will be paid to the Ranger Cup-qualified teams/anglers with the highest places of finish in the championship events.
Along with the cash prizes, the highest-finishing Ranger Cup University-qualified team/angler in each championship event will also receive automatic entry into the Ranger Cup University Team of the Year Challenge. The made-for-TV fish off, which will air on NBC Sports Network and Pursuit Channel during episodes of Americana Outdoors and Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, will feature the two Ranger Cup University teams competing for the title of 2018 Ranger Cup University Team of the Year and a $2,000 cash prize. Both teams will receive airfare, lodging and meals as part of an expense-paid trip to the tournament location where they will compete from fully rigged Ranger boats.
Last fall, the 2017 Challenge took place at Texas’ Lake Fairfield, a popular power-plant lake known for high numbers of largemouth. The competition featured teams from the University of North Alabama and Kansas State University with UNA ultimately claiming top honors.
“We watched this event on TV for years and it is a great format,” said UNA angler Sloan Pennington. “It seems more challenging with just one other boat out there. Fishing these collegiate tournaments gets your name out there, especially having a televised event with only two teams. It promotes the guys in both boats unlike any other tournament. It’s an awesome opportunity.”

FLW Tour Rookie Sheldon Collings Rides Wave of Support Into First Professional Season
Story By Vance McCullough
At 19 years of age Sheldon Collings doesn’t have decades of high caliber tournament experience on his side.
He does however have an entire community in his corner.
“The city of Grove (Oklahoma) is my title sponsor,” says Collings. “I’ve got ‘Grove’ there on the side of my boat for the Grove Convention and Tourism Bureau, which brings all the tournaments to Grand Lake, that’s the biggest one.
“It makes me feel good that the whole town has come together to support me. They’ve put articles in the newspaper about me once or twice a month. Everyone in Grove knows me.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to move away from Grove. Being able to grow up there made me into the person I am today. Now, when I was younger I didn’t really like it because there wasn’t much to do and there weren’t many people my age, but now that I am more mature I understand that everyone in the town – they’re good people.
“I definitely couldn’t do this without all of them supporting me.”
Asked to list his sponsors, the Tour rookie can name some fishing industry giants – Lowrance and Costa Del Mar among them, but then there’s a long list of local supporters. Collings doesn’t take any one of them for granted.
From a roofing company to a plumber to a realtor to a tire store, with lots of others in between, Collings is grateful. There is one gentleman who has been especially helpful, David Hale who owns Honey Creek Outdoors in Grove, OK. “He’s one of those guys whose done anything and
everything to help me out and make it possible for me to fish the Tour. He did more work than I did, I hate to say it. I’ve known him for years. It started out when he worked on my bow at his archery shop.
“I also have FishTek, my family-owned business. My parents and I make and sell our own jigs. All the colors we have are my custom colors. We sell a lot to people in Texas and Oklahoma.”
There is one departure from the local love. “I picked up Tail Walk, a Japanese rod and reel manufacturer.”
In addition to well wishes from his neighbors, Collings will bring a wealth of lessons learned on Grand Lake of the Cherokees, his home water. The lake has been a good teacher. What techniques has he refined there? “Pretty much everything. I learned to fish grass on Grand Lake when the water floods. I've even learned to drop shot."
“I’ll take all of my knowledge that I learned on Grand Lake and take it to every single one of these tournaments. Actually, here on Okeechobee, I’m doing the same thing I would at home. It’s kind of crazy how you go from Oklahoma to South Florida and catch fish the same way.”
Collings spoke with AnglersChannel.com after his first couple of practice days on Okeechobee heading into this week’s big season opener. It was his first look at the big lake. What does he think?
“As soon as I put the boat in I said ‘what did I get myself into?’ Everything looks the same, there’s nothing different. I had a lot of people tell me ‘It’s just going to blow your mind, you’re going to get spun out and not know what to do.’ I thought ‘No, I don’t get spun out and not know what to do’.
“Sure enough, about 15 minutes in I was lost.”
Collings finally settled into a groove. “I think I’ve kind of got it figured out now – what to look for. But yeah, at first, it was a huge learning curve, I’m not going to lie. It’s like nothing I’ve been on before in my life.”
Okeechobee represents just one of the challenges that await the rookie. “The biggest challenge going into this year would be not having experience on any of the lakes except Kentucky Lake. I’ve been to Kentucky a handful of times and I’ve done pretty well there.”
A positive thinker, Collings also sees his greatest challenge as enormous advantage. “I, personally do better at a lake I’ve never been to. I’m going to scratch Okeechobee off of that list because it’s like a different world down here, but I can go to a lake, practice for 2-to-4 days, spend the first day just riding around looking, and the second day I’ll pick apart an area. I fish better because I’m not fishing off of memory.
“Now Grand lake, I live there but I’d have to say that I suck at that lake because I know every pocket, every dock, what brush is beneath it so I get spun out on Grand really, really bad.
“But going to different lakes, I’ll pick apart a big square like a 2-mile by 2-mile area and if I end up catching fish there I won’t leave it the whole tournament just because I have nothing else to go to so it makes me fish where there are fish instead of going to find new ones.”
Asked to pick a most exciting venue on this year’s schedule Collings is fired up about the big smallmouth waiting at Lake Saint Claire. “I’m ready to go use my Ultrex, put the Spot Lock on and dropshot for big smallmouth, looking at my Lowrance all day. That’s my kind of fishing. I like to play the video games on my graph. Just talking about that place right now is getting me pumped up and that tourney is not until, like, July!”
As do most newcomers, Collings wants to win the Rookie of the Year title. He acknowledges the strength of the freshman class. “Just because they’re ‘rookies’ doesn’t mean they haven’t fished before. There are a lot of good fishermen this year. That’s my main goal is to get ROY.
“What would also be awesome is to cut a check in every event. Also, to weigh-in a limit each day that I fish. It’s just weird to here myself say ‘I want to win Rookie of the Year’. I never thought that at 19 I’d be on Tour saying that.”
Collings says one reason he’s able to compete at the Tour level at such a young age is that he was mentored by veteran pro Randy Blaukat.
“I don’t have the political views that Randy has, but we’re like best friends. He’s the one who took me fishing when I was 15 years old. He’s the one who taught me how to get all of the sponsors I have today, taught me how to approach people, how to talk on stage. He also taught me to be open-minded and versatile.
“He’s helped me out tremendously. That first day he took me out fishing I never would have imagined I’d be fishing against him on Tour in less than 5 years. Pretty much the main reason I’m here – I’d have to give a lot credit to Randy Blaukat for that.”
Collings has already accomplished some big things on the water. He won a 2016 BFL Regional Championship on Dardanelle. But he says qualifying for the 2017 All American is his proudest achievement to date. “Being able to fish the All American was much bigger accomplishment than winning the BFL Regional.”
There is another big achievement under his belt. This one will affect the way he approaches the 2018 Tour season. “Bryan Thrift double-qualified for the Forrest Wood Cup so it opened up another spot. In the Costa championship back in November on Kentucky Lake I finished 11th. Since Thrift double-qualified I was next on the list to go to the 2018 Cup. That takes a lot of stress off my shoulders my first year on Tour. I don’t have to worry about the overall points. I just have to worry about Rookie of the Year. That’s all I think about.”

Greg Hackney - Fishing is the "Open Book" That Never Ends......
Strike King Pro Greg Hackney imparts some "Local" knowledge on what has changed his way of thinking and looking for fish when he visits a new lake and how he is still reading the "Open Book" how to catch a bass. Check it out!
Drake Announces Partnership with Bill Lowen – Hunting Sponsors Find Value in Professional Anglers
OLIVE BRANCH, MS – January 8, 2018. Outdoor Apparel Company Drake announced a partnership with Bassmaster Elite Series angler Bill Lowen today. This marks Drake's first partnership with a professional bass angler and Lowen’s third hunting sponsor.
Simply put, Bill Lowen knows how to take home a limit. He’s finished “in-the-money” 88 times over his tournament career, including 17 times in the Top 10. Enough, in fact, to earn him the nickname “Dollar Bill” Lowen. When he’s not stacking green-backs on the water, however, he’s been known to knock down a limit of green-heads from the blind.
"Drake is extremely honored to be partnering with Bill Lowen. Not only is he one of the top Elite Series anglers in the U.S. today, but also an extremely avid waterfowl, big game, and turkey hunter when he’s not on the water. It’s truly an ideal relationship for both of us,” said Drake Co-Founder Tate Wood.
It’s no secret that many Elite Series Anglers climb into a duck blind or tree stand for a huge chunk of their offseason. Spending time in the field was typically regarded as a way for anglers to escape the rigors of competitive fishing. However, cutting-edge hunting brands--like Drake—have taken notice that many elite anglers approach hunting season with the same passion as their time on the water.
“Bill’s career, life, and passions align perfectly with our mantra of “Always in Season” and the features and quality of our apparel lines deliver at a performance level a pro like him expects and demands,” Wood added. “We couldn’t be more excited about the future between Drake and Bill Lowen."
“Tough conditions demand maximum performance,” said Lowen. “As a life-long waterfowl hunter and professional angler I put myself in some of the worst weather conditions out there. Drake lets me go even when Mother Nature says ‘No!’ ”
An iconic brand like Drake giving the sponsorship nod to a top-tier fisherman such as Bill Lowen could signal continued opportunities for dual-threat anglers down the road. As they add their name to a surprisingly short list of hunting sponsors, more companies may begin to take note of the personality, influence, and passion tournament anglers can bring to their brands.
ABOUT DRAKE
Based in Olive Branch, MS, Drake manufactures, markets, and sells high-quality outdoor apparel to avid hunters throughout the United States. Drake built their namesake by catering to the waterfowl market through Drake Waterfowl Systems, but expanded to meet hunters’ needs in every season through their Non-Typical, Ol’Tom, and Drake Clothing Company brands.
More information about the company can be found at www.drakewaterfowl.com.
ABOUT BILL LOWEN
Based in Brookville, IN, Bill Lowen is also sponsored by Buck Knives and the Remington Arms Company. He’s a nine-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier with over $1M in career earnings. Lowen is one of the original members of the prestigious Bassmaster Elite Series, which began in 2006.
More information about Lowen can be found at www.billlowen.com.

Silverman Pockets $13,000 in American Bass Anglers Open Series Florida Central Season Opener on Lake Toho with over 23 pounds!
ATHENS, Ala. – Micah Silverman of Belle Isle, FL won the American Bass Anglers Open Series Florida Central tournament, held January 20th on Lake Toho. Running out of Kissimmee Lakefront Park in Kissimmee, FL Micah caught five bass weighing 23.43 pounds. For the Boater Division victory Silverman took home a check for $6000. He took home an additional $7000 from Triton Gold, bringing his total earnings to $13,000.
“I stayed on Toho, and I was lucky enough to catch a couple of fish on a Carolina-rig early and then I caught two good fish flipping, one around 10:00am and the other around 11:30am. I had a great co-angler today.” Silverman said.
In second for the boaters, Eric Conant of Lakeland, FL landed a five-bass tournament limit going 20.73 pounds. He collected $1760 for the effort.
“I also stayed on Lake Toho until around noon and then I ran to Lake Kissimmee. That didn’t help me, so I ran back to Lake Toho. I caught all my fish in the morning. I did lose a fish probably 6 to 7 pounds that would’ve helped me.” Conant said.
Daniel Lanier of Winter Springs, FL took third for the boaters with five bass going 16.25 pounds. He earned $1170.
“I caught all my fish early on Lake Toho throwing a trap.” Lanier said.

In the Co-Angler Division, Eric VanLandingham of Gainesville, FL won with three bass going 8.10 pounds. He pocketed a check for $2400 for his win.
“We were on the south end of Lake Toho and I caught my fish flipping where the Kissimmee grass met the reeds. This is my first tournament win, and this is awesome.” VanLandingham said.
Taking second for the co-anglers, David Rushing of Orlando, FL brought in a three-bass division limit weighing 7.73 pounds. He collected $800 for the effort.
“I was fishing with Micah today and we were Carolina-rigging and flipping. I was glad to catch what I had.” Rushing said. “
Brett “Hollywood” Hobson of Clermont, FL placed third among the co-anglers with three bass going 7.53 pounds. He earned $550 for his catch.

We really wanted to get behind their efforts of supporting future anglers and outdoors enthusiasts.”
“The Bassmaster College Series continues to grow in size and importance and level of competition,” said Hank Weldon, B.A.S.S. College and High School Series senior manager. “Not only does it develop lifelong anglers, it also provides a stepping stone into professional fishing careers for the best of the best college competitors. The support from Mossy Oak will enable us to continue to expand our college bass fishing program and reach more young people throughout the country.”

SPAIN BECOMES EIGHTH COUNTRY TO JOIN FLW INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONING PROGRAM
César Pecellín Muñoz of Spain Signs Exclusive Licensing Agreement to Run FLW Bass-Fishing Tournaments
MINNEAPOLIS (Jan. 18, 2018) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced today that Spain has signed an exclusive licensing agreement and will begin offering anglers the opportunity to compete in FLW-sanctioned bass fishing tournaments in 2018. The agreement was signed by FLW President of Operations Kathy Fennel and César Pecellín Muñoz of FLW Spain.
"The sport of bass fishing is very important in Spain, and the opportunity to compete with the world’s finest anglers that FLW provides our competitors makes this the perfect partnership,” saidMuñoz. “The FLW sanctioning program is the best way for the international community to get involved with bass fishing, and we are very happy to be a part of it.”
FLW Spain plans to run a series of events to determine which four anglers will represent the country in the International Division at the 2018 Costa FLW Series Championship. Two anglers will compete as pros, while the other two will compete as co-anglers. FLW will provide the use of a fully-rigged Ranger boat for the Spanish team to use in the championship event, which will be held Nov. 1-3 on Lake Guntersville, in Guntersville, Alabama.
The top pro award at the Costa FLW Series Championship is $95,000, including a Ranger Z518C boat with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard if the pro is Ranger Cup qualified, and the top co-angler award is a Ranger Z175 boat with a 90-horsepower Evinrude outboard. The highest finishing pro from the International Division at the Costa FLW Series Championship will advance to the following year’s Forrest Wood Cup for the chance to compete on the sport’s biggest stage.
“We’re proud to welcome Spain into the FLW family as the eighth country to join our rapidly growing international tournament program,” said Fennel. “FLW Spain will provide Spanish anglers the opportunity to showcase their bass-fishing talent on the world stage. We look forward to having two pros and two co-anglers from Spain in the 2018 Costa FLW Series Championship and watching them compete alongside the best anglers from around the world on Lake Guntersville in November.”
Spain is now the eighth country to sign on for the international sanctioning program, joining Canada, China, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa and South Korea.
Additional FLW qualifying tournaments in other countries will continue to be forthcoming. Watch FLWFishing.com for details.

War Eagle, YUM and Bandit Add B.A.S.S. Elite Angler Micah Frazier
FORT SMITH, AR – War Eagle Custom Lures, YUM and Bandit announces the signing of B.A.S.S. Elite Series angler Micah Frazier as the latest addition to its list of sponsored professional anglers. Frazier joins a team of successful tournament anglers, including Stetson Blaylock, Alton Jones, Alton Jones Jr. and Jason Christie. Frazier will represent these tournament-tested brands during the 2018 B.A.S.S. season.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to work with some of the most iconic brands in the history of fishing,” said Frazier. “I have been using their baits and lures for as long as I can remember. Regardless of your fishing style, these lures cover everything you need and they just flat out catch fish. I am looking forward to putting together another great season in 2018.”
The 29-year-old angler, of Newnan, Georgia, began his fishing career with a bang by becoming the youngest boater to win a BFL event at the age of 16. The angler officially joined the FLW Tour as a boater in 2011 and accrued 14 top-10 finishes in his four years on the tour. Frazier jumped to the B.A.S.S. ranks in 2015 and has finished 12th or better in three Elite Series events.
“Micah is a great representation of our company – hardworking and dedicated with a keen sense of how to catch fish,” said Chad Warner of War Eagle Custom Lures. “Micah has proven himself on both the FLW Tour and B.A.S.S. Elite Series as a serious talent, even when the bite gets tough. His commitment to becoming the best is evident to everyone who meets him. We would like to welcome him to our family and wish him luck on the coming season.”
Frazier will compete in his second Bassmaster Classic at Lake Hartwell, March 16-18. The bass angler is looking forward to the prestigious event and already plans to utilize the wide variety of baits and lures offered by these brands to fill his livewell each day.
“I can guarantee you that I will have a War Eagle spinner bait tied on my deck,” said Frazier. “Between a Colorado spinner bait that time of year or a flipping jig, they are going to play a major role in the Classic and this season.”
War Eagle Custom Lures provides top quality Spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits, Jigs, Jiggin' Spoons, Shakey Heads and Skirts. YUM produces the most advanced, fish-catching soft plastics and umbrella rigs you can buy. Bandit has a legacy of true-running crankbaits available in the hottest color patterns on the market.

TH Marine PRO-Files - FLW Rookie Taylor Ashley
Author Vance McCullough / Photos Courtesy FLW Fishing
Taylor Ashley is 20 years old. He is about to take on the 2018 FLW Tour. This year’s field includes 24 other rookies, perhaps the strongest freshman class ever. He’s doing it out of his own pocket with the money he won on the 2017 Costa FLW Series.
Freedom Marine in Guntersville wrapped his boat. Otherwise Ashley’s sponsor portfolio is as young as his career. Big things are surely coming though. He has shown flashes of brilliance already.
Ashley bankrolled most of his start-up cash by winning the Costa event on Lake Okeechobee, the site of this year’s Tour opener.
“I’m excited to get started on Okeechobee, the same place where I won last year,” said Ashley. “That was a good week. It was fun.”
That venue should play well to his strong suit, “A swim jig is my deal,” said Ashley. “That’s my favorite. You can fish a swim jig a lot of different ways. That’s the technique I used to win there last year.”
Additionally, Okeechobee is likely to produce a win for the guy who finds the right area, not a pattern as those don’t typically pan out on the inland ocean where so much cover looks identical to everything else. This won’t hurt the young pro’s chances because he says patterning a lake is currently his biggest weakness anyway.
Ashley feels he had a chance to take another title last season on Chickamauga where he finished 4th. “I threw a swim jig there too. And when I look back on that one, I really do believe I should have won that tournament.” Still, it was another strong showing for the young pro on yet another lake that is loaded with big Florida strain largemouth.
His knack with Florida bass seems a bit odd for the Warrior, Alabama resident who lives a half-hour from Smith Lake. While Smith is close to home, Ashley feels comfortable elsewhere. “I worked over there in South Carolina for the past 2 years and I pretty much lived on Hartwell.”
The new crop of young pros is a versatile lot and Ashley is no exception. “I’ve pretty much fished every kind of water there is, honestly. Tennessee River, Coosa River, and more.”
So what lake is he most looking forward to fishing? “Every single one of them.” 
While he’s not losing sleep over any of the scheduled Tour stops, Ashley is anxious to see Lake St. Claire. “That will be different. I haven’t been up North a whole lot. I do like to dropshot though, and they do a lot of that up there. Plus, those fish do not get pressured – at least not until we have a tournament and whack them.”
Ashley is driven by the things that motivate most anglers. “I do love it. I love the competition. And the comradery, I mean, all my friends are in the fishing industry so it’s just kind of what I grew up doing. It’s just cool to hang out with all my buddies when I go to tournaments and stuff. It’s just fun.”
