Welcher breaks away from the field with another ‘Dirty 30’ at the Pasquotank River/Albemarle Sound 

April 11, 2025

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. —  Kyle Welcher feels like the chosen one at the St. Croix Bassmaster Elite at the Pasquotank River/Albemarle Sound. Not because he was expecting to do well after practice, but since the warm-up period ended everything has been almost perfect.

Welcher took a commanding lead over the Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series field on Day 2 by adding 30 pounds, 3 ounces to his 30-11 limit from Day 1. His 60-14 two-day total is 22 pounds better than second place Trey McKinney.

“I don’t feel like I have any kind of a secret figured out or a special area figured out,” the Opelika, Ala., native said. “For whatever reason, I have caught big ones for the past two days. I feel like I’m getting lucky.”

Day 2 brought waves of rain and storms across the Albemarle Sound, but it was an overall calmer day for anglers making longer runs across the system. The bite seemingly improved as well, with 84 limits and 1,285 pounds of bass caught.

Growing up on the Chattahoochee River in Alabama, Welcher is a river fisherman at heart, and he has been able to show off his roots this week in eastern North Carolina.

“They set up the same places during the same time of year on every single river,” he said. “I love fishing rivers. I fish tons of rivers at home, and I feel really comfortable.”

Welcher returned to the same area he caught the bulk of his weight on Day 1, a mile-long stretch in a river close to takeoff. The 2023 Progressive Bassmaster Angler of the Year winner has been targeting hard cover in 5 feet of water or less. On Day 1, Welcher felt he was catching prespawners, but on Friday he felt the big females he caught were guarding nests. The water also seemed cleaner without as much wind coming through.

A Texas-rigged Rapala CrushCity Bronco Bug with a ¼-ounce weight is the only bait Welcher has thrown thus far.

Forward-facing sonar has been a player for Welcher as well.

“I’m using it to find the areas the bass are using. I’ll throw at the fish I see, but I’m really just using it to see if it is a good area,” he said. “Today all five of them were spawning.

“Yesterday I did a little too much running around early on,” he added.

Welcher started Day 2 off with a bang by landing a 7-pounder within the first hour of fishing. While adrenaline pumped through him, it was exactly the bite he needed to settle down in his area.

“I didn’t feel settled down when I was fishing for it or fighting it,” Welcher explained. “I knew how big it was and how important that bass was going to be. I was shaking and nervous. To catch it and get it in the boat, that was a big momentum swing.”

He proceeded to land three more keeper bass before 9:15 and capped off his initial limit with another 7-pound largemouth.

“I settled down in one of my better areas,” Welcher said. “I picked them off. It wasn’t a flurry or anything, but I was getting consistent bites. I didn’t want to run around a lot because I had one zone that was a little better than the rest. I hunkered down and sort of stair-stepped my way up.”

From there, he added two more quality bass before noon and spent the rest of the afternoon searching for different areas to try the rest of the tournament. He didn’t find much during his practice time, but he feels there are still plenty of bass to be caught in his primary area.

“I am going to keep doing the exact same thing. I gotta finish strong,” he said. “Half of this tournament is left, so we need to catch them just as good for the next half.”

Hailing from Carbondale, Ill., McKinney sits in second with a two-day total of 38-14. After a 23-7 Day 1, he suffered a much tougher Day 2, only landing 15-7. He salvaged his day with a last-minute catch that gave him a 2-pound upgrade.

“That was huge. I pulled in a place I have never fished. I cast my jig to a seawall and caught a bass that culled me up 2 pounds,” McKinney said. “We lost a few big ones today, though.”

The 2024 Dakota Lithium Elite Series Rookie of the Year returned to his primary area in the North River on Day 2, but did not see the same amount of activity as he did on Day 1.

“I really don’t know why it was different,” he said. “I felt like conditions were alright. Maybe the sun makes them bite better? Maybe we are running out of fish.”

The bass he did find were not willing to eat a jig, either, and he had to switch to a Neko-rigged worm. With winds shifting to the northwest, McKinney isn’t sure how he is going to tackle Day 3. In a perfect world, McKinney would run to the Chowan River, but he isn’t sure the weather will allow him to do so.

“Tomorrow, I don’t know what I am going to do. In the grand scheme of things, I didn’t have enough bites today and didn’t see enough fish. I didn’t have a warm fuzzy feeling. It wasn’t a good 15 pounds.”

Meanwhile, Tennessee pro Jacob Foutz climbed into third place with a total of 38-2. The two-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier opened the tournament in fifth with 18-10 before landing 19-2 on the second day of the tournament.

Foutz is one of the anglers making the long run to the Roanoke River on the southwest side of the Albemarle Sound. After a slow first two hours, Foutz was able to find a rhythm as the morning wore on.

“I lost a big one, and then after that they started biting,” he said. “I caught 19 pounds in about two hours. I didn’t get a bunch of bites, but they were the right size. I don’t know how many more fish I have in my area.”

Foutz has been fishing a Megabass Magdraft swimbait around shallow cover as well as a ChatterBait.

“When I get a bite on the swimbait, it is a good one,” he said. “I will probably lock it in my hands tomorrow and ride the horse that got me here.”

Gonzales, La., pro Greg Hackney landed an 8-4 largemouth on Day 2, which was the Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the Day and overtook Keith Combs’ 8-2 bass from Day 1 as the Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the Tournament.

Welcher continues to hold the CrushCity Monster Bag of the Tournament with his Day 1 catch of 30-11.

North Carolina’s Jake Whitaker and Tennessee’s John Garrett lead the Progressive Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings with 270 points each. Wisconsin’s Jay Przekurat is third with 267 points followed by Alabama’s Will Davis Jr in fourth with 261 points and Texas pro Lee Livesay in fifth with 256 points.

Alabama’s Tucker Smith leads the Dakota Lithium Elite Series Rookie of the Year standings with 199 points followed by Georgia’s Paul Marks in second with 180 points and Arkansas’ Beau Browning in third with 163 points

Browning slows down to win B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at Lake Eufaula

April 11, 2025

EUFAULA, Okla. — He had to slow down to figure out the deal, but once Paul Browning dialed in his pattern, he turned in a dominant performance to win the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at Lake Eufaula presented by Lowrance with a three-day total of 42 pounds, 5 ounces.

After a slow Day 1 yielded only two keepers for 7-13, the boater from Monahans, Texas, found himself in 29th place. The second round saw him make considerable headway, and although he fell one fish short of his five-bass limit, Browning’s 15-10 propelled him into seventh place.

On Championship Friday, Browning stepped on the gas and sacked up 18-14 — the tournament’s second-heaviest catch — and raced across the finish line by a margin of 2-9 over Day 2 leader Ian Leybas. Browning won the top prize of $12,899 and earned a spot in the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Upper Mississippi River presented by Lowrance, Oct. 22-25.

“It started off slow today and I lost two fish pretty quick,” Browning said. “I lost a 3-pounder and a 2, but then I caught a 7-4 that clued me in on a new stretch.”

Fishing the mid-lake region near the Belle Star Marina, Browning targeted spawning fish in buckbrush in 6 inches to 4 feet of water. He was flipping a 4-inch Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog in the tilapia color, rigged on a 4/0 Owner Jungle flipping hook with a 1/2-ounce Kovert Tungsten weight.

“The water was really clean; it had a brownish tint, but it was mostly clear, so the light breeze helped,” Browning said. “My mapping showed a deeper area in the middle, so I knew that would give the fish a place to go during the cooler nights.”

Looking back, Browning realized he started his morning by fishing too fast. The manner in which he caught his big fish caused him to alter his pace, and that helped him complete his winning limit.

“That 7-4 slowed me down, and I think that’s what did it for me,” Browning said. “I was flipping into the brush and slowly dragging the bait out. Some of them would bite it in the brush, but most of them bit when I drug it out.”

Reflecting on his win, Browning said: “It feels good. The last two years have been a struggle fishing the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens. Maybe this will help me get the wheels back on the wagon.”

Leybas, the local pro from McAlester, Okla., placed 13th on Day 1 with two bass that weighed 10-10. In the second round, he added the event’s biggest limit — 19-13 — and moved into the lead. His Day 3 catch of four fish for 9-5 gave him a second-place tournament total of 39-12.

Leybass, who attributed his big Day 2 comeback to more favorable wind conditions, returned to his main area in the mid- to south-lake region, where he targeted prespawn fish. He caught his fish on a 3/8-ounce white/chartreuse spinnerbait with double Colorado blades.

“You gotta keep perspective when you’re fishing,” Leybass said. “It was a tough practice; the fish were not set up right. They were in and out; the water level (was fluctuating).

“I was blessed for the day I had yesterday. Today was a lot tougher, but it’s been a good event and it exceeded my expectations.”

Day 1 leader Kelley Hudson finished third with 39-2. His daily weights were 14-11, 13-10 and 10-13.

Hudson did most of his work in the backs of small creeks where he targeted shallow staging areas. He caught most of his fish on a Texas-rigged green pumpkin Zoom Brush Hog with the tail dipped in chartreuse. He caught his biggest final-round fish on a spinnerbait.

“I had a great week and I’m proud of the way I fished,” Hudson said. “I’ve never been here before, so to come to a 200,000-acre lake and have a chance to win is absolutely fantastic.”

Browning tied Lane Edwards of Paden, Okla., for the Phoenix Boats Big Bass award. Both anglers caught bass weighing 7-4 and split the $500 prize.

Zach Oliver of Coal Hill, Ark., won the non-boater division with a three-day total of 29-13. Oliver turned in daily three-fish limits of 5-10, 11-7 and 12-12.

For his achievement, Oliver won $4,593.

Joe Conway of Colorado Springs, Colo., won the $250 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award among non-boaters with an 8-2.

The City of Eufaula hosted the tournament.

Huge day lifts Leybas atop the field in B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at Lake Eufaula

April 10, 2025

EUFAULA, Okla. — Ian Leybas had the right plan, but forces beyond his control limited his access. Today, when more favorable conditions opened the window of opportunity, the McAlester, Okla., angler rocketed into the lead at the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at Lake Eufaula presented by Lowrance with a two-day total of 30 pounds, 7 ounces.

After placing 13th on Day 1 with two fish that went 10-10, Leybas knew he was around the right quality. A day later, he added a 5-bass limit of 19-13 and now holds a 2-2 advantage over Day 1 leader Kelley Hudson as they head into Championship Friday.

The difference? Wind.

“I think the weather change is what made the difference today,” Leybas said. “The lighter winds out of the north versus the strong winds out of the south just let me fish stuff better than I was able to fish it yesterday.

“I couldn’t do what I wanted to do with the way the wind was hitting it yesterday, but today I was able to get where I wanted to go.”

Given the warming spring conditions, Leybas knew those Eufaula bass would be approaching their spawning mode, however, he found that they weren’t quite there yet.

"I think the males are starting to get up there, but I don’t think the females are up yet,” Leybas said.

Spending his day in the mid- to south-lake area, Leybas devoted his time to prospecting what he called standard prespawn staging spots. Such habitat features located en route to the spawning grounds offered the big female bass pit stops with feeding opportunities.

“My boat was in 8 feet of water,” Leybas said. “I was fishing a little shallower than other people. I figured it’s April and they’re coming. They’re wanting to move shallow.

“I caught all my fish on one moving bait.”

Leybas said he developed his game plan after a tough practice compelled him to go with what his experience told him the fish should be doing. He saw the potential and decided his best option was to commit his tournament to the way he was catching fish prior to competition.

“Catching that quality of fish (on Day 1) just told me, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing,’” Leybas said. “That’s what I did. I just kept doing that and changed up the rotation to get to some of the places I couldn’t get to yesterday.”

With a different wind complexion, Day 2 saw Leybas work counterclockwise from his first-round milk run. Where he started on Day 1 was his ending spot today.

Leybas said he had his limit by 10 a.m. and completed his weight by 10:30. He hit 15 to 20 different spots, but never returned to a previous location.

“I caught them early and then I tried to find something new for Day 3,” Leybas said. “I also tried to help my co-angler catch a few fish.”

Leybas’ biggest fish was a 5 1/2-pounder, after Day 1 yielded a 6. He’s optimistic about continuing his pattern for one more day.

“I have to go back and start on the same area,” he said. “I know what stuff I want to fish, and if I can get to it, I should be able to catch them again.”

Hailing from Graham, Texas, Hudson is in second place with 28-5. He caught a limit of 14-11 on Day 1 and added four fish for 13-10 on Day 2.

Dale Hightower of Mannford, Okla., is in third with 26-7. He caught a Day 1 limit of 13-3 and followed with four bass for 13-4.

Lane Edwards of Paden, Okla., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 7-4.

Zach Oliver of Coal Hill, Ark., leads the co-angler division with 17-1. His daily weights were 5-10 and 11-7.

Joe Conway of Colorado Springs, Colo., holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with an 8-2.

Friday’s takeoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. CT at Nichols Point Boat Ramp. The weigh-in will be held at the same location at 3 p.m.

Welcher whacks them on Day 1 at Pasquotank River/Albemarle Sound 

April 10, 2025

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. —  Bites were hard to come by for Kyle Welcher during practice for the St. Croix Bassmaster Elite at Pasquotank River/Albemarle Sound. He received only seven keeper bites on Day 1, but they resulted in the best bag of the day.

The 2023 Progressive Angler of the Year caught a limit of largemouth weighing 30 pounds, 11 ounces to take the Day 1 lead in eastern North Carolina. He anchored his impressive performance with three 7-pounders and a 6-pounder.

The Alabama native holds a nearly 7-pound lead over second-place Easton Fothergill.

“It was very fortunate,” he said. “My practice was terrible. I was really struggling with the confidence to catch a limit. The second one I caught was a 7-pounder, and that was the key to the puzzle for today. I’ve got a little clue now.”

After several cold nights to end practice, sunny and windy conditions persisted over the Albemarle Sound on Thursday. Navigating to the many rivers that flow into the Sound proved challenging for anglers, and the colder weather made the bite stingier than anticipated. Even with the tough bite, 71 limits were caught.

Welcher’s best day in practice produced five to six bites, none as big as what he received on Day 1, and on the final day of practice he caught just two keepers.

“I didn’t get a good feel for the place, but something was telling me to go to this one area. That is where I went today,” Welcher said. “I really don’t know what changed.”

When he arrived in that one area today, he found the big ones waiting. Welcher landed two of his bigger bites when he first arrived at his area before suffering a long lull. After trying to adjust with little success, he returned to the same spot he landed his first two bites and caught his third quality keeper.

“I started making adjustments and caught one small keeper,” Welcher said. “I abandoned those adjustments and went back to the area I caught the two big ones and caught another one. After I had those three big ones, I knew I had a good day going and I went looking for new water and caught another big one.”

All of his bites came doing the same thing; flipping a CrushCity Bronco Bug in shallow water. The deepest bass he landed came in around 5 feet of water. Welcher believes he landed mostly prespawn largemouth on Day 1.

“A big chunk of the ones I’m catching are prespawn,” he said. “Just by how they look. They are really fat and really pretty. I had to slow down a lot today.”

In order to win this tournament, Welcher imagines he will have to continue to find new areas to fish. With how few bites he is getting, however, maximizing his area will also be incredibly important.

“I don’t think where I caught them today will reload enough for multiple days, but it is so hard to get a bite here that you have to stay in (the areas you get bites),” Welcher said.

Fothergill, meanwhile, made a key adjustment to catch his 23-13 limit on Thursday. He anchored his bag with a 6 ½-pound largemouth.

Coming off his victory at the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour at Lake Ray Roberts, Fothergill started his tournament in the Pasquotank River and caught one keeper before moving to one of the other rivers later in the day.

“It was an awesome day,” the Grand Rapids, Minn., native said. “I started shallow throwing a buzzbait, plopper and swim jig and completely switched it up. I went finesse on them. I knew they were still there, I just had to switch it up to get them to bite.”

When the power-fishing baits did not produce, he switched to a drop shot, which landed the majority of his keeper bites.

“I had to slow down to get the big ones to bite,” he said.

In practice, Fothergill found plenty of bass on the bed, but when he arrived at those areas today, he found them high and dry. The water temperature also dropped, which he feels moved some of those bass away from the bed.

“I have a mix of prespawn and postspawners. A lot of them I’m catching are beat up and have bloody tails. My 6 ½ was a prespawner. It is kind of all over the board,” Fothergill said. “The water dropped a bunch. I caught a 7 accidentally off of a bed in practice, and that bed is now dry.”

Forward-facing sonar played an important role in his success on Day 1, but when the water was higher, it played very little.

Reigning Dakota Lithium Elite Series Angler of the Year Trey McKinney is in third with 23-7. The Carbondale, Ill., pro started in an area where he received a lot of bites on the final day of practice. On Day 1, he landed 30 keepers and 11 pounds by 11 a.m., but didn’t get his bigger bites until the afternoon.

“Once I started picking it apart, I started getting quality bites,” McKinney said. “I switched the type of bank I was going down. I started fishing a slow, tapering bank in the afternoon instead of a steep drop. Once I did that, I went from 11 pounds to 23 pounds (quickly).”

A prototype jig produced the majority of his bites. His biggest bass of the day was a postspawner, while several others were either prespawners or spawning.

Huntington, Texas, pro Keith Combs landed the Big Bass of the Day, an 8-2 largemouth that anchored his 15-12 Day 1 limit.

Sylacauga, Ala., pro David Gaston leads the Progressive Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings currently with 259 points. Brookville, Ind., veteran Bill Lowen and Plover, Wis., pro Jay Przekurat are tied for second with 256 points followed by California’s Bryant Smith in fourth with 250 points and Florida’s John Cox in fifth with 249 points.

The full field of 102 pros will launch from Waterfront Park beginning at 7 a.m. ET and return for weigh-in at 3 p.m. The Top 50 anglers after the Day 2 weigh-in will advance to Semifinal Saturday before the Top 10 anglers compete on Championship Sunday for the top prize of $100,000.

Bassmaster LIVE coverage of the 2025 Bassmaster Elite at Pasquotank River will be available on Bassmaster.com on Day 2 starting at 8 a.m. ET and ending at 3 p.m. FS1 will carry the morning action on Day 3 from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. before moving to Bassmaster.com in the afternoon.

Big bite lifts Scanlon to Day 1 lead in Bassmaster Open at Norfork

April 3, 2025

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. — Lightning struck twice for Casey Scanlon, and while one of those opportunities escaped him, capitalizing on the other helped secure a Day 1 limit of 18 pounds, 5 ounces, which leads Day 1 of the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Norfork Lake presented by SEVIIN.

Scanlon, a veteran Ozarks stick from Eldon, Mo., buoyed his opening bag with a 5-pound, 9-ounce largemouth. Heading into Day 2, he holds a lead of 1-8 over Doug Chapin.

“Actually, I lost one bigger than that; I could’ve had a really good day,” Scanlon said. “The one I lost was in a totally different area on an isolated piece of cover. I threw a bait across that spot that you normally don’t lose big fish on.

“I got him to the boat, and he just pulled off. I know where he’s at, so hopefully tomorrow I can go back and get him.”

With recent rains sending muddy plumes into the lake through various creeks and drains, Norfork took on a significantly different complexion than it had presented during practice. This prompted to Scanlon to call an audible.

“I scrapped most of what I was doing after my first few stops in the morning,” Scanlon said. “I slowed down, got a few bites and just kept my head down and kept grinding. Slowly but surely, I culled up.”

Scanlon guarded his specifics, but he said he was able to develop some consistency by looking for a particular type of rock and a certain water clarity level.

“I probably hit a dozen places and when I got to each one, I tried to fish as slowly as I could and capitalize on the bites,” Scanlon said. “I was kinda in that midrange.

“The water clarity varied a lot, so I had to keep moving to find the clarity I wanted. There was definitely a lot of mixing water involved.”

Scanlon said he caught his fish on a mix of reaction baits and slower presentations. His 5-9 bit a moving bait.

With lake conditions changing by the hour and more rain in the Day 2 forecast, Scanlon said he's hopeful he can pick up where he left off today. Realistically, he suspects he’ll need more flexibility for the second round.

“Honestly, I don’t know if the area where I caught them today will produce again,” Scanlon said. “I utilized several different places today but caught both of my big ones on a similar stretch.

“I was just keeping on the move, and I’ll probably have to do that again tomorrow.”

Chapin, who hails from Tigerton, Wis., is in second place with 16-13. Noting that his day was an extension of what he saw coming during practice, Chapin said his day started with a bang.

“I got fortunate and caught a 5-pounder on my first cast,” Chapin said. “I kind of just expanded off what I’d found in practice. There is, for certain, a pattern. Whatever bass are supposed to do in rising water, that’s what I was doing.”

Chapin said he caught his fish on a mix of power fishing a Damiki rig. He had a limit in the boat by about 10:30.

“I had 15 pounds by 11 or 12 and then I just culled up ounce by ounce throughout the rest of the day,” Chapin said.

Expressing optimism for Day 2, Chapin said: “With this rising water, it’s going to get even better. Hopefully, I can whack another big bag.”

Bailey Gay of Union, Ky., is in third place with 16-11. Countering the hinderance of high, muddy water, he said, came down to focusing on locating populated zones.

“The fish are kinda grouped up and you’ll get into an area that has fish, more than developing a pattern,” Gay said. “It was a lot of picking up the trolling motor, running and gunning around the lake and finding hot stretches where the fish are biting.

“As soon as you’d hit a stretch, you’d put the trolling motor down and if it’s not happening right away, pick the trolling motor back up and keep going.”

Gay said he hit approximately 35 spots in hopes of finding some where fish were moving up. Unable to locate a place where fish would be coming to him, Gay instead focused on staging spots.

“I was fishing a lot deeper than a lot of people — anywhere from 15 to 45 feet,” he said. “The baitfish were located in that deeper water.

“I spent some of my time shallow and caught some on a crankbait and some on a spinnerbait,” he said. “I caught some on a jig, I caught some LiveScoping; I just junk fished today.”

Jace Lindsay of Beckville, Texas, is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 6-3.

Friday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6:45 a.m. CT at Buzzard Roost Boat Dock. The weigh-in will be held at the same location at 2:45 p.m.
