WHEATLAND’S GUNTER WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE OZARK DIVISION EVENT ON LAKE TRUMAN PRESENTED BY POWER-POLE

WHEATLAND’S GUNTER WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE OZARK DIVISION EVENT ON LAKE TRUMAN PRESENTED BY POWER-POLE

Tyree wins co-angler title

WARSAW, Mo. (July 18, 2016) – Matt Gunter of Wheatland Missouri, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 15 pounds, 3 ounces, Saturday to win the fourth FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Ozark Division tournament of 2016 on Lake Truman presented by Power-Pole. Gunter took home $4,804 for his victory.

“I split my day between the lower Osage and Pomme de Terre arms,” said Gunter, who earned his first win in BFL competition. “I burned an entire tank of gas getting to my areas, but it paid off.”

Gunter said he flipped cedar trees and other types of wood using a Texas-rigged 10½-inch Zoom Ol’ Monster Worm. He said he used two colors – plum and green-pumpkin – to catch his limit.

“I flipped the Ol’ Monster all day,” said Gunter. “I caught fish in water that was 2- to 20-feet deep. If I was in 2 feet of water, the fish were on the bottom. In 20 feet, they were suspended.”

Gunter said he used a slow retrieve and lighter ¼- and 1/8-ounce weights on his lure.

“I had four limit-fish within the first two hours on the water,” said Gunter. “Around 12:30 p.m. I caught two more keepers, culled once and then brought in what I had.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Matt Gunter, Wheatland, Mo., five bass, 15-3, $4,804

2nd:         Marcus Sykora, Osage Beach, Mo., five bass, 13-14, $1,902

ORTONVILLE’S GREENE WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE MICHIGAN DIVISION EVENT ON LAKE ST. CLAIR

ORTONVILLE’S GREENE WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE MICHIGAN DIVISION EVENT ON LAKE ST. CLAIR

Hayward wins co-angler title

[print_link]

HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (July 18, 2016) – Kyle Greene of Ortonville, Michigan, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 23 pounds even Saturday to win the second FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Michigan Division tournament of 2016 on Lake St. Clair. For his victory, Greene took home $6,155.

Greene said he spent his day on the Canadian side of Lake St. Clair, targeting scattered weeds. He said he moved along a 300-yard stretch and fished in 6 to 10 feet of water.

“I used two baits – a Fiesta Melon-colored PROvider Performance Series Tube and a natural-colored swimbait,” said Greene, who earned the first win of his FLW career. “The weed patches had holes in the middle of them. I casted the swimbait up into the weeds and reeled it in slow, or let the tube lay on the bottom.

“I caught a 5-pounder on the swimbait to start things out, but the tube did the rest of the damage,” Greene continued. “I ended up catching nearly 40 keepers throughout the event.”

Green said he had most of his winning weight by 9:30 a.m.

“Over the past few years I’ve had strong finishes at BFL events, but have never won,” said Greene, who started fishing BFL events in 1995. “This feels pretty good. I guess it was my time.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Kyle Greene, Ortonville, Mich., five bass, 23-0, $4,155 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Tim Rachoy, Crown Point, Ind., five bass, 21-15, $2,078

3rd:          Dan Mason, Pain Court, Ontario, Canada, five bass, 21-1, $1,953

4th:          Tony Hansen, Vermontville, Mich., five bass, 20-0, $970

5th:          Frank Novock, Rockwood, Mich., five bass, 19-14, $831

6th:          Heath Wagner, Angola, Ind., five bass, 19-4, $762

7th:          Steve Clapper, Lima, Ohio, five bass, 19-1, $693

8th:          Scott Dobson, Clarkston, Mich., five bass, 19-0, $888

Jason Hayward of Plainwell, Michigan, weighed in five bass totaling 23 pounds, 4 ounces, Saturday to win the co-angler division and earn $2,363.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

10th:        Bill Dodge, Laingsburg, Mich., four bass, 17-2, $242

Hayward also caught the biggest bass of the tournament in the co-angler division, a fish weighing 5 pounds, 11 ounces, and earned the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $285.

LEBANON’S BOGGS WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE MUSIC CITY DIVISION EVENT ON OLD HICKORY LAKE

LEBANON’S BOGGS WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE MUSIC CITY DIVISION EVENT ON OLD HICKORY LAKE

Humphrey wins co-angler title

[print_link]

GALLATIN, Tenn. (July 18, 2016) – Drew Boggs of Lebanon, Tennessee, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 13 pounds, 10 ounces, Saturday to win the fourth FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Music City Division tournament of 2016 on Old Hickory Lake. Boggs took home $3,028 for his victory.

“I went out there and did what I’m most confident in, and that’s pitching and flipping shallow cover,” said Boggs, who logged his second win of 2016 in BFL competition. “I hit four creeks with shallow wood near the banks. All of my areas were mid-lake to 15 miles north.”

Boggs said he used both a green pumpkin-colored and a tilapia-colored Texas-rigged Big Bite Baits Craw Tube to catch his fish. He said one was rigged with a skirted Jiggy Weight  and the other was attached to a regular Jiggy Weight.

“The Craw Tube with the skirted weight caught my biggest fish,” said Boggs. “Jiggy Weights make the bait slide and glide through cover better. It’s more flat, so when you pop the bait and kill it, it glides better than a regular jig.”

Boggs said he ended up catching 13 keepers throughout the event.

“All of my fish came in less than 2 feet of water,” said Boggs. “In the middle of the summer when things get hot, they get up shallow on this lake. It’s unusual but that’s where they were.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Drew Boggs, Lebanon, Tenn., five bass, 13-10, $3,028

2nd:         Ty Garrett, Pulaski, Tenn., five bass, 12-11, $1,514

3rd:          Tim Staley, Dowelltown, Tenn., five bass, 12-5, $1,008

4th:          Jeremy Nash, Cookeville, Tenn., five bass, 12-1, $707

5th:          Michael Wooten, Goodlettsville, Tenn., five bass, 11-13, $606

6th:          Danny Heicher, Murfreesboro, Tenn., four bass, 11-10, $555

7th:          Scott Lefevers, Hermitage, Tenn., four bass, 11-5, $805

8th:          Jayson Johnson, Smithville, Tenn., five bass, 11-4, $454

9th:          Danny Boggs, Fayetteville, Tenn., five bass, 11-1, $404

10th:        Daniel Johnson, Lebanon, Tenn., five bass, 10-14, $353

10th:        Kevin Lamb, Gallatin, Tenn., three bass, 6-0, $169

OHIO’S POFFENBERGER WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE BUCKEYE DIVISION EVENT ON OHIO RIVER

OHIO’S POFFENBERGER WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE BUCKEYE DIVISION EVENT ON OHIO RIVER

Redwine wins co-angler title

[print_link]

MAYSVILLE, Ky. (July 18, 2016) – Jake Poffenberger of Brookville, Ohio, weighed four bass totaling 9 pounds, 7 ounces, Saturday to win the fourth FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Buckeye Division tournament of 2016 on the Ohio River. For his victory, Poffenberger earned $4,684.

“I spent my day fishing four different creek mouths between the lock and Maysville,” said Poffenberger, who earned his first win in FLW competition. “I picked apart 100-yard stretches along flats and hit all kinds of wood. I think the river was fluctuating a lot, so that’s why bass were close to the creek mouths and not in the backwaters.

“The flats I sat on were about 2 feet down, but there was deeper water nearby,” Poffenberger continued. “When the sun came out I had better bites because the bass were pushed closer to the wood.”

Poffenberger said he rotated between a 1/8-ounce chartreuse-colored Hawk Spinnerbait and a Watermelon Red Magic-colored Yamamoto Senko to catch his four keepers.

“I used the Hawk until the wind stopped blowing, then I picked up the Senko,” said Poffenberger. “I didn’t catch many fish, but they were the right size.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Jake Poffenberger, Brookville, Ohio, four bass, 9-7, $4,684

2nd:         Kyle Weisenburger, Ottawa, Ohio, five bass, 9-0, $2,059

3rd:          Chris Combess, Cleves, Ohio, four bass, 8-7, $1,374

4th:          Keith Wheelock, Springboro, Ohio, five bass, 7-14, $961

INDIANA’S SISK WINS FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE ILLINI DIVISION EVENT ON OHIO RIVER

Lee wins co-angler title

GOLCONDA, Ill. (July 18, 2016) – Marty Sisk of Evansville, Indiana, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 17 pounds, 13 ounces, Saturday to win the third FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Illini Division tournament of 2016 on the Ohio River. For his victory, Sisk took home $7,456.

“I worked my way up the Cumberland River hitting offshore bars and small ledges,” said Sisk, who earned his third win in FLW competition. “I focused on chunk rock and pea gravel in 10 to 15 feet of water.

“I caught the biggest bass of the tournament around 10:30 a.m. on a 1-ounce Blue Glimmer-colored Accent spinnerbait,” said Sisk. “Throughout the day I rotated in a ¾-ounce green-pumpkin Hawgback Lures football-head jig with a green-pumpkin craw trailer, and a Carolina-rigged green-pumpkin Zoom Brush Hog. My goal was to keep the fish going. I didn’t want them to look at the same bait for a long period of time.”

Sisk said that he split his day between five different areas and caught nearly 50 fish.

“I hit a flurry between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. which really helped me,” said Sisk. “Also, the Strike Force scent on my jig was a huge factor out there. It may have won the tournament for me.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Marty Sisk, Evansville, Ind., five bass, 17-13, $5,456 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus
