Brandenburg’s Dowell Takes Co-angler Title

GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 11, 2017) – Cole Floyd of Leesburg, Ohio, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) LBL Division tournament on Kentucky and Barkley lakes Sunday with a two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 40 pounds, 10 ounces. For his efforts, Floyd took home $5,504.

“I fished near Paris and worked through 15 different areas with bars and flats,” said Floyd, who earned his first career-victory in FLW competition. “Some of them had stumps and wood mixed in, and I got a couple of bites at each. When I got bit, they were the right kind of fish.”

Floyd said he caught 90 to 95 percent of his fish throwing a Bone-colored Evergreen SB 125 Topwater Plug. He said he put 15 keepers in the boat each day, and that they came from 1 to 2 feet of water.

“I feel like a lot of the field did the same thing out there,” said Floyd. “They fished flats and big bass areas, but didn’t know where their next bite would come from. I put down my Power Poles and fished small stretches – some were even as small as 20 by 20 feet. If I didn’t get a bite, I moved on and could usually get something going. I didn’t waste much time looking for them.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Cole Floyd, Leesburg, Ohio, 10 bass, 40-10, $5,504

2nd:         Drew Boggs, Lebanon, Tenn., 10 bass, 32-1, $2,752

3rd:          Terry Bolton, Paducah, Ky., 10 bass, 31-2, $3,040

4th:          Brandon Hunter, Benton, Ky., six bass, 22-9, $1,384

5th:          Dwight Fox, Gainesboro, Tenn., seven bass, 21-4, $1,101

6th:          Dustin Vaal, Hardin, Ky., five bass, 20-15, $1,009

7th:          John Hopkins, Hendersonville, Tenn., six bass, 20-1, $917

8th:          Craig Hipsher, Benton, Ky., seven bass, 20-0, $826

9th:          David Carroll, Manitou, Ky., seven bass, 19-12, $734

10th:        Jim Eakin, Clarksville, Tenn., seven bass, 19-0, $642

Bolton caught a bass weighing 5 pounds, 11 ounces – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division. The catch earned him the Boater Big Bass award of $705.

Ryan Dowell of Brandenburg, Kentucky, caught a two-day total of eight bass weighing 22 pounds, 12 ounces, to win the Co-angler Division and $2,752.

4th:          Chris Brunt, Elkhart, Ind., four bass, 12-7, $642

5th:          Trey Shearer, Nicholasville, Ky., five bass, 12-4, $550

6th:          Wesley Dunn, Paducah, Ky., three bass, 11-10, $857

8th:          Rick Lemar, Saint Louis, Mo., four bass, 8-6, $413

9th:          Kerry Conkle, Bartlett, Tenn., two bass, 8-6, $367

10th:        Danny Robinson, Fairland, Ind., three bass, 8-3, $321

Dunn caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division – a fish weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces – and earned the Co-angler Big Bass award of $352.

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. 12-14 BFL Regional Championship on the Barren River in Scottsville, Kentucky. 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.

LEXINGTON’S WALSER WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION FINALE ON LAKE NORMAN

Raleigh’s Lawson Grabs Co-angler Title

[print_link]

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Sept. 11, 2017) – Robert Walser of Lexington, North Carolina, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) North Carolina Division tournament on Lake Norman Sunday with a two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 25 pounds, 6 ounces. For his efforts, Walser pocketed $6,014.

“On Saturday I focused on fish on the north end of the lake,” said Walser, who earned his 10th career-victory in FLW competition. “I caught them early on points using a white buzzbait, and then switched to a (Zoom) Finesse Worm for bass near isolated wood.”

Walser said he had a limit of fish heading into Saturday afternoon, but eventually hit a lull. Around 2 p.m., he said he decided to work through a stretch of docks above the Highway 150 bridge that he had fished during practice. He said he switched to a Zoom Baby Brush Hog and was able to put a 6-pound, 2-ounce bass in the boat.

“On Sunday I switched things up and headed down south,” said Walser. “I used the buzzbait and was culling by 8:30 (a.m.) I had all of my weight by 10 (a.m.), but wasn’t sure I had enough to win. There are a lot of talented anglers around Lake Norman, and they know how to make the right adjustments. Luckily everything worked out.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Robert Walser, Lexington, N.C., 10 bass, 25-6, $6,014

2nd:         John Allen, Concord, N.C., 10 bass, 23-13, $2,539

3rd:          Rob Digh, Denver, N.C., 10 bass, 23-7, $1,894

4th:          Artie Phillips, Monroe, N.C., 10 bass, 23-6, $1,185

5th:          John Parker, Gaffney, S.C., 10 bass, 23-0, $1,015

6th:          Shane LeHew, Catawba, N.C., 10 bass, 22-9, $1,031

7th:          Shane Lineberger, Lincolnton, N.C., 10 bass, 21-13, $846

8th:          Bryan New, Belmont, N.C., 10 bass, 21-9, $762

9th:          Dylan Fulk, Concord, N.C., 10 bass, 21-0, $677

10th:        Cody Hoyle, Rutherfordton, N.C., 10 bass, 20-4, $592

Walser’s 6-pound, 2-ouncer was the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division. The catch earned him the Boater Big Bass award of $637.

Tobey Lawson of Raleigh, North Carolina, caught a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 18 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the Co-angler Division and $2,739.

10th:        Thomas McDermott, Madison, N.C., six bass, 11-14, $296

Nathan Grose of Summersville, West Virginia, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division – a fish weighing 3 pounds, 11 ounces – and earned the Co-angler Big Bass award of $319.

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. 12-14 BFL Regional Championship on the James River in Williamsburg, Virginia.

ALTO’S WILEY WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE BULLDOG DIVISION FINALE ON LAKE LANIER

Warner Robins’ Sato Takes Co-angler Title

[print_link]

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (Sept. 11, 2017) – Brad Wiley of Alto, Georgia, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Bulldog Division tournament on Lake Lanier Sunday with a two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 28 pounds, 2 ounces. For his efforts, Wiley took home $5,942.

Wiley said he spent his weekend fishing on the south end of the lake, near the dam. He said he targeted schooling fish and rotated through five areas throughout the tournament.

“I concentrated on a hump, a ridge, a channel swing and some standing timber,” said Wiley, who earned his first career-win in FLW competition. “The wind made the tournament difficult. On Saturday, there were gusts up to 20 mph, and on Sunday they reached 40 mph. I couldn’t get anything going in the creeks, so there wasn’t much shelter.”

Wiley said he used a white Fish Head Spin Underspin with a White Pearl-colored Zoom Super Fluke to catch the majority of his fish.

“With the strong winds there weren’t many options for lures, especially yesterday (Sunday),” said Wiley. “The Underspin worked well because it handled the gusts and got down into those 40-foot depths where fish were suspended in the trees. Standing timber ended up being the most productive cover for me.”

Wiley said he also caught key fish using a Megabass Ito Vision 110 jerkbait.

“I used the jerkbait in the morning until the wind picked up,” said Wiley. “I actually caught my heaviest fish on it, including one Sunday that came early on my third or fourth cast.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Brad Wiley. Alto, Ga., 10 bass, 28-2, $5,942

2nd:         Kip Carter, Social Circle, Ga., 10 bass, 26-15, $2,971

3rd:          Brock Turner, Jasper, Ga., 10 bass, 25-2, $1,983

4th:          Rob Jordan, Flowery Branch, Ga., 10 bass, 24-9, $1,386

5th:          Phil Johnson, Alpharetta, Ga., 10 bass, 23-8, $1,188

6th:          John Duvall, Madison, Ga., 10 bass, 21-14, $1,289

7th:          Patrick Bone, Cleveland, Ga., eight bass, 21-8, $990

8th:          Chris Baxter, Winder, Ga., 10 bass, 20-15, $1,191

9th:          Trent Palmer, Alpharetta, Ga., 10 bass, 20- 8, $792

10th:        Heath Pack, Ellijay, Ga., nine bass, 19-12, $693

Kim Carver of Milledgeville, Georgia, caught a bass weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division. The catch earned him the Boater Big Bass award of $802.

Spencer Sato of Warner Robins, Georgia, weighed a two-day cumulative total of nine bass totaling 22 pounds, 4 ounces, to win the Co-angler Division and $2,971.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

4th:          James Akins, Cumming, Ga., nine bass, 18-4, $693

5th:          Sam Naib, Atlanta, Ga., nine bass, 17-1, $594

6th:          Drew Harbin, Winder, Ga.,  eight bass, 16-5, $595

7th:          Tony DiMauro, Watkinsville, Ga., eight bass, 16-2, $495

8th:          Harold Grizzle, Gainesville, Ga., seven bass, 15-0, $446

9th:          Randy Smith, Fayetteville, Ga., seven bass, 14-0, $396

10th:        Undre Montgomery, Cumming, Ga., seven bass, 12-12, $347

Kevin Haggarty of Flowery Branch, Georgia, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division – a fish weighing 4 pounds, 1 ounce – and earned the Co-angler Big Bass award of $401.

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. 12-14 BFL Regional Championship on Wheeler Lake in Decatur, Alabama. 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.

Ada’s Hill Takes Co-angler Title

[print_link]

GROVE, Okla. (Sept. 11, 2017) – Curt Warren of Rose, Oklahoma, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Okie Division tournament on Grand Lake Sunday with a two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 31 pounds, 15 ounces. For his win, Warren earned $6,534.

“The bite was funny this weekend,” said Warren, who logged his first career-win in BFL competition. “It wasn’t as bad Saturday, but Sunday I missed several bites. I don’t know if it was weather or what, but they were finicky. Thankfully my 7-foot Falcon (Cara T7) rod helped me feel the bites, or else I may have missed more.

“I was mainly junk-fishing – just beating the banks,” continued Warren. “I was on the north end of the lake, not too far from takeoff. I fished docks and shallow wood cover. I probably had 50 different stops. All my fish came from less than 10 feet of water.”

Warren said everything he weighed in came on a ½-ounce Bass-X football-head jig with an unnamed green pumpkin-colored trailer. He said he caught six keepers each day of the event.

“If I pulled up to an area and there weren’t any shad, I usually kept moving,” said Warren. “They were really close to the surface.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Curt Warren, Rose, Okla., 10 bass, 31-15, $6,534

2nd:         Paul Smith, Copan, Okla., eight bass, 29-8, $3,467

3rd:          Cade Alsbury, Springdale, Ark., 10 bass, 28-11, $2,276

4th:          Benjamin King, Garnett, Kan., 10 bass, 26-6, $1,525

5th:          Tim Hickson, Cleveland, Okla., 10 bass, 26-4, $1,307

6th:          Dylan Duncan, Kansas, Okla., 10 bass, 26-2, $1,198

7th:          Sheldon Collings, Grove, Okla., seven bass, 25-13, $1,089

8th:          Thomas Canady, Collinsville, Okla., 10 bass, 23-14, $980

9th:          Chris Torkleson, Sand Springs, Okla., eight bass, 23-4, $871

10th:        Tye Smith, Fort Gibson, Okla., eight bass, 22-5, $762

Garmin Found Liable for Willfully Infringing Navico Patents

[print_link]

Egersund, Norway – Navico – the world’s largest manufacturer of marine electronics and parent company to the Lowrance®, Simrad® and B&G® brands – announced today that a Texas federal jury has found that Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN) willfully infringed two of Navico’s DownScan Imaging™ sonar patents and awarded Navico $38,755,000 in damages. The district court judge has discretion to increase the damages to account for the jury’s finding that Garmin’s infringement was willful.

The unanimous jury verdict validates Navico’s long-standing claims against Garmin. The infringement finding concerned two of Navico’s patents relating to marine sonar technology — U.S. Patent Nos. 9,223,022 and 9,244,168 — and the finding is consistent with separate rulings by an International Trade Commission (ITC) Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) and by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) concerning Garmin’s infringement of additional Navico patents.

“Earlier this year, the ALJ recommended a fine of $37 million against Garmin for violating cease-and-desist orders issued by the ITC to stop Garmin’s infringement of two more Navico patents,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico. “In a separate decision, the CBP likewise found infringement by Garmin, and stated that Garmin would be barred from importing all infringing sonar products. Now, a federal jury in U.S. District Court has confirmed that Garmin is infringing two other Navico patents — with all eight jurors voting unanimously that Garmin’s infringement was willful.”

The willfulness finding means the jury found that Garmin knew about Navico’s patents and engaged in conduct that “was egregious, reckless, wanton, malicious, done in bad faith, deliberately or consciously wrongful, or flagrant.”

As part of the civil lawsuit, Navico also accused Garmin of false advertising relating to false and misleading assertions regarding its transition from the infringing DownVü™ sonar-scanning to the replacement design called ClearVü™, which lacks a true downscan element. Although the U.S. District Court judge opted not to submit this issue to the jury, during the trial Garmin’s sonar design engineer confirmed that ClearVü can miss objects directly beneath a user’s boat.

Garmin sells ClearVü sonar technology in the U.S. without a down-facing transducer element, relying on data from side-scanning elements to compile and synthesize a scanning image beneath the boat. A down-facing transducer element is included in all ClearVü products outside of the United States, beyond the scope of Navico’s U.S. patents. Navico continues to believe that Garmin’s abrupt transition from DownVü to ClearVü in late 2016 included false and misleading statements about the features and capabilities of ClearVü. Garmin’s actions confused the marine electronics market until Garmin finally acknowledged the limitations of ClearVü in March 2017, six months after the technology was announced.

At present time, a decision to reverse a June 2017 ruling by the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in favor of Garmin is under review.

ADRIAN COLLEGE WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING TOURNAMENT AT LAKE ERIE PRESENTED BY BASS PRO SHOPS

[print_link]

SANDUSKY, Ohio (Sept. 11, 2017) – The Adrian College duo of Chase Serafin of Highland, Michigan, and Cody Batterson, of Pleasant Hill, Iowa, won the YETI FLW College Fishing Northern Conference tournament at Lake Erie presented by Bass Pro Shops Saturday with a five-bass limit weighing 17 pounds, 2 ounces. The victory earned the Adrian bass club $2,000 and the team will now advance to compete at the 2018 FLW College Fishing National Championship, scheduled for May 30-June 2 on the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana.

It was the second-straight Northern Conference victory for the Adrian College bass club teammates Jarrett Martin and Zachary Graham earned a win on Lake Chautauqua in New York in July.

“It felt great to get the win,” said Serafin, a junior, majoring in business marketing. “We’ve got a lot of experience on Erie, and we had caught some good fish in practice. But, there was a small-craft advisory on the lake Saturday, so we were restricted to fish just in Sandusky Bay.

“We scrambled to look at our maps and we found two marinas that looked promising,” Serafin continued. “The first one we pulled into, another team from Adrian College was already in there. So we went to our second one and we started smashing them, right in the mouth of the marina. We drifted into the marina. There were only eight docks, but we caught at least 50 largemouth there.”

Serafin said that they caught their first limit on an Ike’s Old School-colored Rapala DT6 crankbait, then Serafin switched to a custom jig – homemade by teammate Conner Goff – with a Bugsy Baits USA Sick Craw trailer, while Batterson switched to a Smack Daddy Tube.

“You had to be snapping or cracking the jig and tube,” Serafin said. “You’d snap it two or three times and they’d crush it on the fall.

“I think the key for us was just finding that marina,” Serafin went on to say. “I think the fish were trying to leave and go to the main lake, but the wind just grouped them up back into the marina. It was an awesome day of fishing.”

The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2018 College Fishing National Championship are:

1st: Adrian College – Chase Serafin, Highland, Mich., and Cody Batterson, Pleasant Hill, Iowa, five bass, 17-2, $2,400

2nd: University of Michigan-Dearborn – Vincenzo Puleo, Wyandotte, Mich., and Austin Klotz, Westland, Mich., five bass, 16-12, $1,000

3rd: Slippery Rock University – Ryan Kozlowski, Cranberry Township, Pa., and Nathan Quince, Imperial, Pa., five bass, 15-2, $700

4th: Adrian College – Jarrett Martin and Zachary Graham, both of Gallipolis, Ohio, five bass, 14-12, $500

5th: Hocking College – Ross Holbrook, Somerset, Ohio, and Kyle Waller, Thornhill, Ohio, five bass, 14-3, $500

6th: Bowling Green State University – Corey Miller, Perrysburg, Ohio, and Jason Bailey, Port Clinton, Ohio, five bass, 14-1

DeFoe Scores Another Bassmaster Opens Victory At Douglas Lake

[print_link]

DANDRIDGE, Tenn. — Bassmaster Elite Series pro Ott DeFoe sealed the deal today with a Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open victory on Douglas Lake.

The Knoxville, Tenn., pro went wire-to-wire to win on his home lake — his second career Opens victory on the fishery — and received the top prize of a Triton 19 TrX/Mercury 200 Pro XS rig valued at $45,000, along with $5,291 in cash. He weighed in a 15-pound, 9-ounce limit to finish with 50-3. His previous victory on Douglas came in May 2014.

DeFoe ran up the French Broad River again with his Tracker tunnel hull aluminum boat that produced 17-5 limits the first two days. He struggled early Saturday and caught only five keepers all day, but it was enough to clinch the victory.

“The water has not been stable all week,” DeFoe said. “I was thinking today could be really, really good just because the French Broad had been falling. But there was some extra flow in the Pigeon River this morning, and it seemed to kind of throw the fishing off a little.”

The local favorite caught his first fish of the day on a bladed jig and his second flipping a black-and-blue 1/2-ounce Terminator Pro Jig with a Bass Pro Shops Elite Chunk. Switching to a Texas-rigged Bass Pro Shops Bull Hog, DeFoe caught his next two keepers and still had three hours to catch his fifth bass. He went to a bank where he had caught big fish in the past and boated a 4 1/2-pounder on the Terminator Jig that clinched the victory.

All of his fish throughout the tournament came from 1 to 3 feet of water.

Newcomerstown, Ohio, pro Hunter Shryock camped on his best spot Saturday, and it produced a 9-14 limit to move him into second place.

“I fished the way that I like to fish — junk fishing — and I kind of learned something as the tournament was going on,” said Shryock, who finished with 39-13. Shryock learned he could catch bass as shallow as 6 inches on isolated wood cover either swimming a 1/4-ounce swim jig with a Berkley Chigger Craw trailer or flipping a Texas-rigged Berkley Chigger Craw.

Other Top 5 finishers were Brian Latimer of Belton, S.C., who was third with 39-11, David Williams of Newton, N.C., who was fourth with 36-1 and Alex Wetherell of Middletown, Conn., who placed fifth with 33-4.

Using a spinnerbait, he bought last night at the Bass Pro Shops in Kodak, Tenn., Barry Brandt Jr. caught a three-bass limit weighing 7-13 to win the nonboater division. The 27-year-old commercial fisherman from Newport News, Va., finished the tournament with 18-4 and took home a $30,000 Nitro Z18/Mercury 150 Pro XS package.

The $750 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award on the pro side went to Chad Pipkens of Lansing, Mich., with a 5-11 largemouth. Chancey Hatfield of Mayking, Ky., weighed in a 4-13 largemouth to earn the $250 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award on the co-angler side.

DeFoe also received the Livingston Lures Leader Award of $250 for finishing as the top pro on Day 2. Finishing as the Day 2 leader on the co-angler side, Jon Abbott of Versailles, Ky., received a Livingston Lures gift pack worth $250.

Williams earned the Power-Pole Captain’s Cash Award of $500 on the pro side for being the highest-placing angler who is registered and eligible and uses a client-approved product on his boat.

The event was hosted by the Economic Development Alliance of Jefferson County, Tenn.

Ott DeFoe Continues Lead In Bassmaster Open On Douglas Lake

[print_link]

DANDRIDGE, Tenn. — Bassmaster Elite Series pro Ott DeFoe has been the model of consistency as he retained his lead at the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open No. 3 on Douglas Lake.

After catching a 17-pound, 5-ounce limit to take the lead in the opening round on Thursday, the Knoxville Tenn., pro followed up today with another 17-5 limit to stay in first place.

“My bites were more solid today,” DeFoe said. “I had four bass that were 3-pounders and then I had a big one of 4-13. Yesterday I had one fish that was probably 4, another good one, a 3 1/2 and a couple more that were over 2 pounds.” DeFoe caught the 4-13 at about 10 o’clock today, which allowed him to cull out a 13-incher.

DeFoe once again navigated the river with his Tracker tunnel hull aluminum boat, which he ran over shoals as shallow as 8 to 10 inches to reach the same areas he fished Thursday. “One section that was good to me yesterday was good to me again today,” he said. “The river is falling. It was really high this morning and then it fell really hard. It should fall steadily tomorrow and that is what I would like for it to do.”

The three-time B.A.S.S. winner caught all of his bass on one lure today. Thursday he relied on three lures to complete his limit. He declined to identify any of them.

With runner-up Drew Benton of Panama City, Fla., fishing some of the same spots, DeFoe is considering running farther up the river tomorrow. “I could go all the way up river to North Carolina if I wanted to,” DeFoe said. “I just don’t see the need.”

Benton moved into second place with 31-7 after catching a 16-14 limit today. “It was tougher today, actually,” he said. “It was a grind because I got only six keeper bites all day.”

The Bassmaster Elite Series pro said he thought his area has gotten “beat up” the past two days with some other competitors — including DeFoe — also fishing the same river section. “I am going to have to make some adjustments,” he said.

The rest of the Top 5 anglers include Hunter Shryock, Newcomerstown, Ohio, third, 29-15; David Williams, Newton, N.C., fourth, 29-2; Brian Latimer, Belton, S.C., fifth, 28-15.

Versailles, Ky., angler Jon Abbott caught only one keeper today, but his 4-10 bass moved him into first place in the co-angler division with 13-1. The 36-year-old retired police officer grew up fishing Douglas Lake, but had not fished the lake in several years. He relied on a finesse fishing tactic to catch his lone keeper today.

Chad Pipkens of Lansing Mich., continues to lead in the pro division of the Phoenix Boats Big Bass Award with a 5-11 largemouth. The leader in the co-angler division of the Phoenix Boats Big Bass Award is still Chancey Hatfield of Mayking, Ky., with a 4-13 largemouth.

Saturday’s launch will be held at 7 a.m. ET at the Dandridge Public Boat Dock, 100 Public Drive in Dandridge. The final weigh-in will move to the Bass Pro Shops at 3629 Outdoor Sportsman Place in Kodak, Tenn., and begin at 4 p.m.

The event is hosted by the Economic Development Alliance of Jefferson County, Tenn.

FLW ANNOUNCES 2018 BFL ALL-AMERICAN AND COLLEGE FISHING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Two championship events to be held at Bass Pro Shops in Shreveport-Bossier City

MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 8, 2017) – FLW announced today the dates and location for the 2018 T-H Marine Bass Fishing League (BFL) All-American and the 2018 YETI FLW College Fishing National Championship. The 35th annual BFL All-American will be held May 31-June 2 on Cross Lake in Shreveport, Louisiana, while the College Fishing National Championship will take place on the Red River on May 30-June 2, also in Shreveport.

The two fisheries have played host to multiple FLW championship events over the years, including the 2002 and 2011 BFL All-American (Cross Lake), the 2002 Forrest Wood Cup (Cross Lake) and the 2013 Forrest Wood Cup (Red River). Both the All-American and the College Fishing National Championship are being hosted by the Shreveport-Bossier City Sports Commission and the Red River Waterway Commission.

“The Shreveport-Bossier City area and north Louisiana are known as the Sportsman’s Paradise,” said Kelly Wells, Executive Director of the Shreveport-Bossier City Sports Commission. “The Red River and Cross Lake are two of the crown jewels of our region and we are excited to partner with FLW on these two prestigious championships next June. While the anglers are competing on the water, families will have plenty to do on shore. Dozens of museums, shopping and family attractions, hundreds of restaurants, and of course the casinos will ensure everyone in the family has something to enjoy during their stay with us in Shreveport-Bossier City.”

The BFL All-American weigh-ins and the final two days of competition of the College Fishing National Championship will be showcased to bass-fishing fans at the Bass Pro Shops in Bossier City, Louisiana.

“We have hosted some of the biggest bass-fishing tournaments in the country here on the Red River,” said Eric Gilmore, Marketing Director for the Red River Waterway Commission. “We believe the return of the BFL All-American and hosting the FLW College Fishing National Championship are great indicators that the Red River is among the top fisheries in the nation. There are a lot of moving parts in landing tournaments of this stature, and it takes a coordinated effort from all involved. We are pleased to be working with the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission and others for these great events.”

2018 T-H Marine FLW BFL All-American

  • May 31- June 2                    Cross Lake                           Shreveport, La.

2018 YETI FLW College Fishing National Championship

  • May 30-June 1                     Red River                             Shreveport, La.
  • June 2 – Fish-Off                Undisclosed Fishery            Shreveport, La.

Both events will be internationally televised on the Emmy-nominated “FLW” television show. “FLW” airs on the NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), the Pursuit Channel and the World Fishing Network and is broadcast to more than 564 million households worldwide, making it the most widely distributed weekly outdoors-sports television show in the world.

Anglers competing in the BFL All-American on Cross Lake will cast for a cash prize of up to $120,000 in the Boater Division and $60,000 in the Co-angler Division. In addition to the six-figure payday, the top boater will also receive an invitation to compete for bass fishing’s most coveted prize – the Forrest Wood Cup – held Aug. 10-12 on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The 2018 FLW College Fishing National Championship awards the top team a $30,000 prize package, including a Ranger Z175 boat with a 90-horsepower outboard engine and an entry into the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup. The winning team will compete against each other on June 2 on a yet to be disclosed location to determine which team member will compete as a professional at the Forrest Wood Cup.

The complete schedule and rules for the 2018 BFL and FLW College Fishing season will be announced soon. The full schedule and rules for both circuits will be posted online at FLWFishing.com.
