CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) – The team of Haden Lamb and Trevor Porter caught a 2 day total of 35.96 pounds topping out the field of 116 anglers to win first place and $10,000.00 in the Tow Boat US Chattanooga Bass Association 2018 Classic Bass Tournament. This 2 day bass event was held October 20^th and 21st 2018 out of Chester Frost Boat Ramp.

Haden said “We didn’t have a great day one, catching 13 pounds around grass beds. We changed patterns on day 2 throwing swim baits and looking for areas that had lots of bait in 12 feet of water. We had a 5 fish limit by 8:30 a.m. and later in the day caught a giant 10 pound bass that took us to 22 pounds. This tournament is hard to win and this is our second classic win in 15 years. You have to get a monster bass and we were lucky to get the right bite”.
