Daiwa Tatula Elite Signature Series Rods Review

Jason Sealock

June 15,2017

New rods from Daiwa incorporate specifc tapers, actions, powers, handles and newest materials designed individually by a professional angler.

The Team Daiwa product line of the 1990s was one the most iconic collection of not only fishing pros but the rods and reels designed for them. Fast forward to 2017, and there is a whole new lineup of professional anglers and the new line of Daiwa Tatula Elite Signature Series rods that are actually designed individually and specifically by each pro.

The pros on the Daiwa team sat down with designers and engineers to create specific fishing application rods with unique handle lengths, tapers, powers, actions and materials to make each rod perfect for that technique per the angler that has used those techniques to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in bass fishing competitions.

WISCONSIN’S MONSOOR TAKES LEAD AFTER DAY TWO OF FLW TOUR ON POTOMAC RIVER PRESENTED BY COSTA SUNGLASSES

WISCONSIN’S MONSOOR TAKES LEAD AFTER DAY TWO OF FLW TOUR ON POTOMAC RIVER PRESENTED BY COSTA SUNGLASSES

MARBURY, Md. (June 16, 2017) – Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor of La Crosse, Wisconsin, brought a five-bass limit weighing 16 pounds, 14 ounces, to the scale Friday to grab the lead at the FLW Tour on the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses. Monsoor’s two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 36-4 gives him a 1-pound, 2-ounce advantage heading into Day Three of the four-day event that features the best bass anglers from across the globe competing for a top cash award of up to $125,000.

“I have two areas – one is about five miles north from where we takeoff, and the other is five miles south,” said Monsoor, a 14-year Tour veteran with 38 career top-10 finishes in FLW competition. “Both areas were packed with boats. Yesterday wasn’t as bad, but today there were boats everywhere.”

Monsoor said that even with the heavy boat traffic he was still able to dial in on productive stretches of water.

“The stretches I’m hitting aren’t very big,” said Monsoor. “One is between 150 and 200 feet, and the other is about 100 yards, and they both have nice, clean weeds.”

The Wisconsin pro said he utilized a swimjig throughout his day, and was able to put 10 keepers in the boat.

“I had a limit by 8 (a.m.) and I culled four of them,” said Monsoor. “After noon I left the two areas alone. I figured I had a decent bag and wanted to let them rest. Hopefully I can get the spots to myself tomorrow.”

The top 20 pros that made the Buck Knives Cut and will fish Saturday on the Potomac River are:

1st:          Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor, La Crosse, Wis., 10 bass, 36-4

2nd:         Robert Behrle, Hoover, Ala., 10 bass, 35-2

Along with the title, Thrift earned $100,000 and an automatic berth into the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup.

Gary Haraguchi of Redding, California, won the FLW Tour Co-angler of the Year title and a new Ranger Z518C boat with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard.

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 competes in the two-day opening round. Co-angler competition concludes following Friday’s weigh-in, while the top 20 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.

Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2017 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Murray in Columbia, South Carolina, Aug. 11-13.

The total purse for the FLW Tour at the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses is more than $800,000, including $10,000 through 50th place in the Pro Division.

Anglers will take off at 6:30 a.m. EDT each day from Smallwood State Park, located at 2750 Sweden Point Road, in Marbury. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, June 17-18, will be held at Smallwood State Park, and will begin at 4 p.m.

Prior to the weigh-ins Saturday and Sunday, fans are invited to come out and experience the free FLW Expo at Smallwood State Park from noon to 4 p.m. The FLW Expo is a great opportunity for fishing fans of all ages to meet-and-greet with top FLW Tour anglers, enjoy games, activities and giveaways provided by FLW sponsors, and learn more about the sport of fishing and other outdoor activities.

Youth are also invited to participate in the free FLW Foundation Unified Fishing Derby at Smallwood State Park on Saturday, June 17, from 9-11 a.m. The event, hosted by FLW Foundation pro Cody Kelley along with other FLW Tour anglers, is free and open to area youth (18 years of age and younger) and Special Olympics athletes (all ages). Rods and reels are available for the first 50 participants to use, but youth are encouraged to bring their own if they own one.

Broussard Maintains Lead On Day 2 Of Central Open At Sabine River

[print_link]

ORANGE, Texas — T-Roy Broussard hunts alligators for a living.

On Saturday, he’ll hunt for an even more elusive prize — a berth in the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.

Broussard, who lives 30 minutes away in Port Arthur, Texas, maintained his lead on Friday at the Bass Pro Shops Central Open No. 2 on the Sabine River. Broussard weighed a limit of 11 pounds, 1 ounce, and coupled with his big bag of 15 pounds from Thursday, he now has a two-day total of 26-1. While that’s less than a 1 1/2-pound advantage on his closest competitor, it’s a decent margin given the low weights presented through two days of fishing.

Broussard, who stars on the History Channel television show “Swamp People,” said he’ll swing for the fences if he has to on the final day of the Central Open. He’s knows a chance to fish in the 2018 Classic next March on Lake Hartwell, South Carolina, is on the line.

“I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing,” Broussard said. “I’ve got confidence in the places I’ve been going, but I’ve got another place I haven’t been to yet where I think I can catch some big bass. I’m going to go out there and knock them out.”

For the second consecutive day, Broussard said he narrowly missed at least one sizable bass that would have pushed his weight considerably higher.

“I lost a 2- and 4-pounder in the same spot I caught the 5-pounder yesterday,” he said. “There are some good bass in there, and I have to go get them. I can’t sit back and wait for someone to catch me. I’ve got to go out and win it.”

Broussard already did get a win — he won the Livingston Lures Day 2 Leader Award of $250 for being in first place after Friday. Now he’ll aim for a much bigger prize on the final day of competition.

Light bags were the norm again on the second day of the Central Open, but there may be relief for the 12 surviving pros and the dozen co-anglers who made the cut. Many anglers reported that the water level dropped on Sabine much of Friday, which means that areas upriver (which have been largely unfishable because the river has spilled its banks north of Orange) could come into play on Saturday. And just about every angler has said the key to good bites, regardless of where they are fishing this week, is moving water.

If the weights do get heavier on Saturday, it could be a wild finish. The Top 12 pros are separated by just more than 5 pounds, so one chunky bass in the livewell could shake up the leaderboard in a hurry.

Carl Svebek III of Orange, Texas, is hot on Broussard’s heels with a two-day total of 24-9. He weighed a limit of 12-14 on Friday, including a pair of 4-pounders. Svebek, who only began fishing again competitively last year after being out of the sport since 2010, said he’d like nothing more than to do well again in front of a hometown crowd.

“I’ve fished a lot of tournaments,” Svebek said. “I feel like this is my second chance. I’ve had a lot of hardships, but I’ve bounced back. If you would have told me eight years ago I would have be fishing a Bassmaster Open with a chance to win this thing and fish in the Classic, I’d say you were crazy. So I have just to go out and do my best. I’m excited about my chances.”

Randy Sullivan of Breckenridge, Texas, moved into third place on Friday by virtue of a limit that weighed 13-3, which gave him a two-day total of 24-2. Sullivan said Sabine fished much better for him on Day 2, given the falling water throughout the system.

“It’s definitely fishing better and better out there where I am,” Sullivan said. “The water is dropping, and it’s giving me more of an opportunity. I left my spots alone after a while, and went looking for a big one in community water.”

Sullivan said one of his primary areas holds both clean and dirty water, which shows how fickle Sabine has been this week.

“In one spot I’m doing one thing and literally two feet away, I’m doing something else,” he said. “It’s two completely different presentations. It’s wild.”   

Mark Powers of Platteville, Colorado, leads the co-angler field with a two-day total of 14-4. Co-anglers have a three-bass limit each day.

Only the Top 12 pro anglers and Top 12 co-anglers will compete on the final day of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open No. 2 beginning with takeoff at 6 a.m. CT from the Orange Boat Ramp. A drive-through weigh-in will begin at 3 p.m. The Orange River Festival also is taking place at the park adjacent to the boat ramp on Saturday with food vendors, Midway rides, games, informational and sponsor booths, and live music.

The event is hosted by the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce.

New Jersey Angler Wins B.A.S.S. Nation Regional On Upper Chesapeake

[print_link]

NORTH EAST, Md. — The home field advantage helped Michael Sentore of Gloucester City, N.J., win the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Eastern Regional presented by Magellan on the Upper Chesapeake Bay with a three-day tally of 59 pounds, 7 ounces.

A home field advantage is often a curse in a bass tournament because an angler can fall into the trap of fishing places where he caught bass in the past instead of finding where they are at the present moment. Sentore, who works in the commercial water treatment industry, easily avoided the curse to claim the $6,200 top prize.

Sentore said that he fishes the Upper Chesapeake every weekend and was able to run to various places during the tournament that he knew were holding bass. He also knew how to take advantage of the tidal fluctuation.

“My basic pattern was to run up the North East River in the morning and fish docks and wood cover on low tide,” Sentore said. “When the tide came in later in the day, I fished grass flats in the bay.”

Sentore’s pattern grew stronger every day. He caught seven bass on the first day of the tournament, twice that many on the second day and 20 bass today.

When Sentore fished docks and wood cover, he flipped a 1/2-ounce Riot Instigator Jig dressed with a Riot Tantrum soft plastic trailer. On the grass flats a 1/2-ounce Riot Recon Bladed Jig dressed with a Riot Streaker swimbait did the trick.

Tim Carini of Marietta, Ga., claimed second place in the boater division with 55-13 and earned $5,000. He brought in five-bass limits of more than 20 pounds on the first and third day of the tournament, but managed only four bass on the second day. Carini caught his bass on shallow grass flats with a 5-inch Big Easy Swimbait Texas rigged on a hook that had a 1/8-ounce weight molded to it.

“I didn’t fish my spot right yesterday,” Carini said. “I didn’t compensate for the east wind.”

Third place and $4,000 went to Rick Hamer of Charleston, W.Va., for his tally of 52-6. Hamer advanced to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship last year as a nonboater. He does so this year as a boater.

Will Smith of Moncks Corner, S.C., collected $3,100 for winning the nonboater division. He said he had to fish differently every day because each of his three boater partners took him to different types of bass water.

Sentore caught the biggest bass brought in by a boater. It weighed 5-15 and earned him the $500 Big Bass Award. The nonboater Big Bass Award of $250 went to Kevin Combs of Addison, Vt., for a 6-6 largemouth he caught on a Missile Baits D Stroyer flipping bait.

The Top 35 boaters and nonboaters who qualified to fish today from the previous two days of competition also received cash prizes. Seventeen eastern states and the province of Ontario brought teams to the tournament. The teams competed to win top state honors while each angler hoped to qualify for the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Magellan.

Today the top boater and nonboater from each state and the province of Ontario received an invitation to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship, which takes place at Lake Hartwell, South Carolina, on Oct. 19-21.

“At the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship, these anglers have an opportunity to qualify for the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, as well as the professional Bassmaster Elite Series,” said B.A.S.S. Nation Tournament Director Jon Stewart. “It’s what dreams are made of.”

20 Things to Inspect before Buying a Used Bass Boat By Walker Smith

20 Things to Inspect before Buying a Used Bass Boat

Walker Smith

June 13,2017

Before you pull the trigger on that new-to-you bass fishing boat, make sure you check these critical components.

Jumping the gun on a used bass boat purchase can be a precarious endeavor. It’s tempting to pull the trigger on the first good deal you run across, but if you’re not careful, it can quickly turn into thousands of dollars in repairs and very little time on the water. It’s hard to catch bass when your boat is constantly in the shop.

I’ve been there. I’ve been the guy who had to show up at 4:00am before a tournament just to make sure my old boat would crank. It’s not fun and I want to help you learn from my mistakes.

Wired2Fish president Terry Brown and I teamed up to make a quick checklist you can bring with you the next time you go boat shopping. TB is the man I turn to when I have any mechanical issues and his decades of experience make him an incredible resource on this subject.

Let the Games Begin Outdoor experiences abound in late June. Let FLIR and Raymarine be your guide.

Outdoor experiences abound in late June. Let FLIR and Raymarine be your guide.

Minneapolis, MN (June 16, 2017) – Summer doesn’t officially begin until 12:24 AM EST on June 21 – but don’t tell that to the millions of Americans who have already kicked off the season on waterways, campgrounds and backyard decks and patios throughout America.

Right now, there are brats to grill, lakes to fish, streams to paddle, mountains to climb and camping locations to explore all across our great nation. But summer is short and our lists of fair-weather aspirations are long. You’d better get moving.

In the unlikely event you need a specific excuse to jumpstart the fun, Father’s Day is coming this weekend, and as luck would have it, Sunday June 18 is also National Go Fishing Day. We’re not joking; look it up, then load the family into the boat and enjoy a day on the water chasing bluegills, stripers, yellow perch, dorado or whatever species is going gangbusters in your neck of the pond.

But before you can catch them, you’ve got to find them.

Simply Superior Sonar and Nimble Navigation. Enter Raymarine’s new Axiom 7-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch multi-function displays. With built-in RealVision 3D™ sonar, the all new LightHouse 3 operating system, and blazing fast quad core performance, Axiom will transform your time on the water.

The new LightHouse 3 OS is silly fast, fluid, and easy to learn. Rapid position updates and smooth on-screen tracking come courtesy of a 10Hz 72 channel GPS/GLONASS receiver. Axiom’s rugged all-glass display is optimized for flush or surface mounting with a sleek, buttonless design and swipe-to-power control. An uncluttered interface is easily personalized for your style of navigating. These intuitive new displays support the best charts from Navionics and LightHouse Raster and Vector Charts sourced from leading mapmakers like NV Digital, Blue Latitude, and more.

When it comes to seeing what’s below, Axiom delivers like no other with powerful four-channel sonar supporting RealVision 3D, CHIRP DownVision, SideVision, High Frequency CHIRP, and 600 Watt (50/200 kHz) sonar. Axiom’s Wide Spectrum CHIRP Sonar transmits on 60 different frequencies for the most life-like imagery and the best fish targeting capability available, while RealVision™ 3D sonar depicts the underwater world in stunning, three-dimensional clarity. And all of this vision is delivered to Axiom’s HD display via a single all-in-one transducer housing that’s gyro-stabilized to compensate for boat movement.

Axiom is expandable, so its capabilities can grow with your needs. It supports the full range of Raymarine accessories, including Quantum radar, CHIRP Sonar, FLIR maritime thermal cameras, audio integration, instruments and Evolution autopilot. Standard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allows connection to the latest Raymarine apps for tablets and smartphones.

Whether you fish, cruise or sail, there’s an all-new Raymarine Axiom model for you. Find yours now at Raymarine.com. Prices start at just $649.99.

While late June’s bounty of outdoor fun often leads to the water, it certainly doesn’t end there. The entire month is National Camping Month, and, specifically, June 24 is the National Wildlife Federation’s (NWF) Great American Campout Day.

In addition to being loads of fun, camping helps Americans appreciate the wonders of nature and wildlife. That’s good, because we tend to conserve and protect what we appreciate. Take the Great American Campout pledge today, and help the National Wildlife Federation to donate 5,000 regionally specific native trees through its Trees for Wildlife program.

 

Whether you prefer to camp in the backcountry or an RV park, having the right gear makes your experiences in the great outdoors safer and more rewarding.

Essential Outdoor Vision. Imagine how much safer and fun your outdoor experiences would be if you could see in the dark, or through environmental obscurants like light fog, smoke or haze. FLIR Systems delivers that sixth sense with their line of Scout handheld thermal vision monoculars.

Unlike Night Vision technology, which relies on infrared illumination, all FLIR Scout models work by detecting minute differences in the temperatures of both live and inert objects, amplifying those differences and projecting amazingly clear images onto a small screen. The technology is improving and prices are dropping, making it available to more people than ever before. The Scout TK model, for example, starts at just $599.

Applications for rugged, pocket-sized FLIR Scout models run the gamut from fun and functional to life-saving. From locating keys, flashlights or other lost items on the ground, to wildlife viewing or keeping track of kids after dark, Scout handheld thermal vision monoculars deliver unmatched situational awareness in any lighting conditions, from full sunlight to total darkness.

Some of the best camping takes place in bear country, or areas where other dangerous predators like wolves, coyotes and mountain lions make their homes. FLIR’s powerful Scout II and Scout III thermal vision monocular can detect a human-sized target in total darkness at a distance of over 1,200 yards, affording users the welcomed opportunity to spot a prowling cougar, camp-encroaching coyote or mama bear with cubs in plenty of time to avoid a dangerous confrontation. Powerful Scout II and Scout III models start at $1,999, but you can save 10% and get one now during FLIR’s special Father’s Day sale.

So, while summer doesn’t technically begin for a few more days, the season for spending quality time in the great outdoors is definitely already in full swing. FLIR and Raymarine make the products that will help you make the most of every precious outdoor outing, so get geared up now, stay safe, and maximize the fun.

T-Roy Broussard Takes Early Lead In Bassmaster Open On The Sabine River

T-Roy Broussard Takes Early Lead In Bassmaster Open On The Sabine River

ORANGE, Texas — As one of the alligator-hunting stars of the History Channel’s “Swamp People” show, T-Roy Broussard should know a thing or two about backwaters, bayous and brackish-water fisheries like the Sabine River.

Broussard proved that he does by grabbing the first-day lead in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open on the Sabine River Thursday.

Broussard, who hails from Port Arthur, Texas, which is less than a half hour from the Orange Boat Ramp where Thursday’s weigh-in was held, caught five bass that totaled 15 pounds, 8 ounces. Because two of his bass expired, he was penalized 8 ounces, dropping his total to 15-0 for the day. Still it was enough to give him the first-round lead at the Central Open.

The water recirculation system in Broussard’s livewell clogged with a thick green slime, which caused his bass to suffer, he said. He left the water at approximately 1 p.m., and he raced to shore with his haul after realizing what was happening. No fans were at the scales when he came to shore; only B.A.S.S. officials who verified the catch and applied the 8-ounce deduction.

Broussard said a number of things didn’t go his way on Day 1 of the Central Open. A hefty bass shook the hook earlier in the day, and that lunker could have brought his total close to 20 pounds. Combined with the fish-care problems and boat traffic on the water, it was a frustrating day.

Having the lead despite those setbacks, however, was salve for his wounds.

“I’m happy to get the lead because I think fishing is going to be a bit tougher tomorrow,” Broussard said. He has backup spots in case fishing pressure increases where he caught bass today, he added. “I just happen to know some places where I can tuck away and make a few casts. It’s a numbers game; running spots. Today, I only fished one area I practiced. The rest of the places were just by memory.”

Several people this week have compared the Sabine River to the golf course at Augusta National, which is home to The Masters each year.

Just like those 18 holes have challenged golfers for generations, they said this river and its countless sloughs, backwaters and marshy cuts will test the best of anglers.

That certainly was the case on Thursday. A total of 185 pro anglers are competing in the tournament, as are an equal number of co-anglers. And the conditions were fairly difficult on all of them. The Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast has been buffeted by heavy rains in recent weeks, which dirtied the Sabine and its tributaries. The water remains high thanks to the usual south winds of summer, and bass have been scattered throughout the fishery.

In all, 144 pros caught a five-bass limit on Thursday, but only 23 of them managed to post double-digit weights on the first day of the Central Open.

Elite Series pro Josh Bertrand is in second place with a limit that weighed 13-5. The Arizona pro ran extensive amounts of water looking for bites and eventually happened upon a pair of nice bass that carried his bag. He’s looking for moving water which should spark bass to move in the Texas heat. Temperatures climbed into the low 90s on Thursday, and similar conditions are expected throughout the tournament.

“I caught fish on an incoming and a falling tide, but I can’t pinpoint it,” Bertrand said. “You just have to keep your head down and fish your best spots. You have to be ready when the tide starts moving.”

Fellow Elite Series pro Chad Morgenthaler is in third with 13 pounds. The Missouri pro’s bag was also anchored by a pair of bass that weighed approximately 4 1/2 pounds apiece. Considering he thought it would take less than 40 pounds to win the three-day Central Open, Morgenthaler was pleased with his showing Thursday.

“In multiple-day events this time of year, 13, 14, 15 pounds a day is going to get you right where you want to be,” Morgenthaler said. “I was surprised with the two bigger bites instead of one. I didn’t have that in practice, though I did have a couple of really nice fish in practice.” He expects fishing to get even more difficult the remaining two days of the event, and “unless someone surprises, I’m pretty sure that puts me in good position for the rest of the week.”

Rounding out the Top 5 after Day 1 are Trey Smith, fourth with 12-15, and  Drew Sloan, fifth with 12-0.

Vernon Cooksey of Bossier City, La., leads the co-angler field after with a three-bass limit that weighed 9-4.

Takeoff for Day 2 of the Bass Pro Shops Central Open No. 2 will begin at 6 a.m. CT at the City of Orange Boat Ramp, 1000 Simmons Drive. Weigh-in will begin at 3 p.m. The field will be cut to the Top 12 pros and an additional Top 12 co-anglers after Friday’s weigh-in is complete.

The top pro after Saturday’s action will earn entry into the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, provided he fishes each of the three of the Bass Pro Shops Central Opens this season. That pro, as well as top co-angler, also will win boat/motor packages.

The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting the event.

TEXAS’ WENDLANDT LEADS DAY ONE OF FLW TOUR ON POTOMAC RIVER PRESENTED BY COSTA SUNGLASSES

TEXAS’ WENDLANDT LEADS DAY ONE OF FLW TOUR ON POTOMAC RIVER PRESENTED BY COSTA SUNGLASSES

Minnesota’s Larson Leads Co-angler Field

[print_link]

MARBURY, Md. (June 15, 2017) – Pro Clark Wendlandt of Leander, Texas, grabbed the early lead Thursday after Day One of the FLW Tour on the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses with five bass weighing 19 pounds, 11 ounces. Wendlandt will begin Day Two with a 5-ounce advantage over second place angler Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor of La Crosse, Wisconsin, in the four-day event that features the world’s best bass anglers competing for a top award of up to $125,000.

“To be honest, I didn’t really think I’d catch them like that today,” said Wendlandt, who won on the Potomac River when the FLW Tour last visited in 2015. “I really struggled early on. I only had three fish in the boat at noon. I thought I would do better later on in the day, but couldn’t get anything going then either. The middle of the day was really the only time I did well.”

Wendlandt said he caught around 18 keepers throughout the day, and that the bulk of his weight came from one area.

“I practiced from Washington D.C. all the way down to just about as far as you can go on the river, and it was the best place that I found,” said Wendlandt. “There were a lot of boats in there today, so I think tomorrow could be a lot harder. At some point I may just have to bail and go do something else.”

Wendlandt said that there are still plenty of options for him to catch a decent limit, even if his primary area is overcrowded.

“The Potomac River is a unique fishery because you can catch them from grass one day and out of wood and rocks the next,” said Wendlandt. “Everything can be good, it just depends on the tide. I guess I’ve been good at knowing the right places to fish at the right time.”

The top 10 pros after Day One on the Potomac River are:

1st:          Clark Wendlandt, Leander, Texas, five bass, 19-11

2nd:         Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor, La Crosse, Wis., five bass, 19-6

3rd:          Kurt Dove, Del Rio, Texas, five bass, 18-14

4th:          Carl Jocumsen, Frisco, Texas, five bass, 18-11

5th:          Robert Behrle, Hoover, Ala., five bass, 18-10

6th:          Clark Reehm, Huntington, Texas, five bass, 18-2

7th:          Quaker State pro Matt Arey, Shelby, N.C., five bass, 18-1

8th:          Andy Young, Mound, Minn., five bass, 17-15

9th:          Polaris pro David Dudley, Lynchburg, Va., five bass, 17-8

10th:        Chris Johnston, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, five bass, 17-7

Dove caught a bass weighing 5 pounds, 15 ounces – the largest in the Pro Division – which earned him the day’s $500 Big Bass award.

Overall there were 752 bass weighing 2,160 pounds, 13 ounces caught by 160 pros Thursday. The catch included 135 five-bass limits.

David Larson of Mound, Minnesota, leads the Co-angler Division with five bass weighing 17 pounds, 12 ounces, followed by Mark Horton of Nicholasville, Kentucky, in second place with five bass totaling 17 pounds, 2 ounces.

The top 10 co-anglers after Day One on the Potomac River are:

1st:          David Larson, Mound, Minn., five bass, 17-12

2nd:         Mark Horton, Nicholasville, Ky., five bass, 17-2

3rd:          Ryan Cannon, Bullard, Texas, five bass, 16-13

4th:          Douglas Colson, Cadiz, Ky., five bass, 16-8

4th:          Richie Eaves, Nauvoo, Ill., five bass, 16-8

6th:          Larry Kempler, Bluemont, Va., five bass, 16-0

7th:          Greg Mansfield, Burnsville, Minn., five bass, 15-13

8th:          Jason Williams, Alexandria, Va., five bass, 15-8

9th:          Larry Mulllikin, Lauderhill, Fla., five bass, 15-6

10th:        Keith Honeycutt, Temple, Texas, five bass, 14-15

Eaves earned $250 for the Big Bass award in the Co-angler Division with a 4-pound, 14-ounce largemouth.

Overall there were 481 bass weighing 1,275 pounds, 14 ounces caught by 152 co-anglers Thursday. The catch included 44 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 competes in the two-day opening round. Co-angler competition concludes following Friday’s weigh-in, while the top 20 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.

Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup, the world-championship of professional bass fishing. The 2017 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Murray in Columbia, South Carolina, Aug. 11-13.

The total purse for the FLW Tour at the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses is more than $800,000, including $10,000 through 50th place in the Pro Division.

Competitors will take off at 6:30 a.m. EDT each day from Smallwood State Park, located at 2750 Sweden Point Road, in Marbury. Friday’s weigh-in will be held at Smallwood State Park beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, June 17-18, will also be held at Smallwood State Park, but will begin at 4 p.m.

Prior to the weigh-ins Saturday and Sunday, fans are invited to come out and experience the free FLW Expo at Smallwood State Park from noon to 4 p.m. The FLW Expo is a great opportunity for fishing fans of all ages to meet-and-greet with top FLW Tour anglers, enjoy games, activities and giveaways provided by FLW sponsors, and learn more about the sport of fishing and other outdoor activities.

Youth are also invited to participate in the free FLW Foundation Unified Fishing Derby at Smallwood State Park on Saturday, June 17, from 9-11 a.m. The event, hosted by FLW Foundation pro Cody Kelley along with other FLW Tour anglers, is free and open to area youth (18 years of age and younger) and Special Olympics athletes (all ages). Rods and reels are available for the first 50 participants to use, but youth are encouraged to bring their own if they own one.

Television coverage of the FLW Tour at the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses will premiere in high-definition (HD) on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) Sept. 20 from 12 p.m.-1 p.m. EDT. 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, making it the most widely distributed weekly outdoors-sports television show in the world.

Florida Claims Team Title In B.A.S.S. Nation Regional

[print_link]

NORTH EAST, Md. — On the first day of the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Eastern Regional on the Upper Chesapeake Bay, South Carolina, Delaware and Florida separated themselves from the field of 18 teams by 20 pounds or more. It seemed inevitable that one of them would claim the championship after today’s weigh-in, as less than 7 pounds separated these three teams.

The South Carolina team, which started today in first place with 162 pounds, 3 ounces, fell to third with a two-day total of 263-15. Delaware held onto second place with 272-14. The Florida team leaped from third to first place with a dominating total of 330-7.

The award for the Florida team was a Skeeter TZX190 bass boat and trailer outfitted with a Yamaha SHO150 outboard, a Minn Kota 70 Edge trolling motor and a Lowrance Hook 5 sonar/GPS unit.

“It’s about time,” said Florida B.A.S.S. Nation President David Drigger as he accepted the certificate. “We worked hard for this.”

Although the Florida team was far from home, Drigger said Chesapeake Bay is similar to the St. Johns River and other tidal waters they fish in their home state. The shallow hydrilla and milfoil grassbeds, the hot weather and the big largemouth bass that thrive in Chesapeake Bay also made the Floridians feel right at home.

“I didn’t ask the guys to share information, but they did it on their own,” Drigger said. “That really helped with our comeback today.”

Now that the team championship has been settled, the tournament will continue one more day to determine the individual winners. The field will be cut to the Top 35 boaters and the Top 35 co-anglers overall. The Top 3 boaters and co-anglers from each of the 18 teams that did not make the Top 35 cut will also compete.

New Jersey team member Michael Sentore climbed from fourth place Wednesday to lead the field today with a total of 37-11.

“I caught about 15 keepers today, which is about twice as many as I caught yesterday,” Sentore said. “I fish here almost every weekend. I’m just running spots that I know hold bass. Hopefully, I’ll get enough bites tomorrow to seal the deal.”

For leading the boater division on the second day of the tournament, Sentore earned the Livingston Lures Day 2 Leader Award of $250 in the boater division.

Georgia team angler Tim Carini, who topped the boater division yesterday with 22-1 dropped to second place with to 35-1. Carini caught so many bass on the first day that he came in 45 minutes early with the heaviest five-bass limit of the day. Today he found the fishing to be much tougher.

“It was a grind today,” Carini said.

Kyle Fox from the Florida team is third in the boater division with 34-12.

James Topmiller III from Florida’s team leads the co-angler division with 22-1. The co-angler daily limit is three bass. Topmiller collected the Livingston Lures Day 2 Leader Award of $250 in merchandise.

After today’s weigh-in, one boater and one co-angler from each state team will advance to the 2017 Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Magellan at Lake Hartwell, South Carolina, on October 19-21. At stake will be a chance to earn a berth in the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, also on Lake Hartwell, March 16-18. Friday’s weigh-in begins at 2 p.m. ET at Anchor Marina in North East, Md.
