Rose Teams Up with Buck Knives

 [print_link]

November 19, 2015

Buck Knives

Rose, who turned pro in 2001, has racked up multiple wins, including 11 top-10 finishes in Tour competition from 2009-2014. Among his career highlights was being named the recipient of the 2012 Forrest L. Wood Sportsmanship and Community Leadership Award for exemplifying the ideals of sportsmanship and community service.

In addition to being an avid fisherman, the Arkansas pro is also a church deacon in his hometown and has been invited to numerous churches and events as a guest speaker, sharing stories of his faith and love for fishing, hunting and being outdoors.

“I’ve been using Buck knives since I was a kid because they have always been affordable with excellent quality,” says Rose, of Marion, Ark. “Now that I have worked around the Buck family, I have a deeper appreciation for this company. It’s made up of quality people and products.”

Rose joins Tour pro Bill McDonald on the Buck pro staff. Beside Buck Knives, Rose has a blue-ribbon roster of sponsors, including Walmart, Strike King, Ranger Boats, Mercury Marine, Lew’s, Lowrance, Lucas Marine Products and Plano.

“Buck Knives is honored to partner with Mark Rose,” says Bob George, Director of Sales and Marketing of Buck Knives. “His years of experience, integrity and excellent reputation throughout the fishing community are a great fit for Buck and the Buck Knives family.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Nov. 19, 2015) – FLW announced today that second-year professional angler Cody Kelley of Conway, Arkansas, will represent the FLW Foundation on the Walmart FLW Tour in 2016. As part of the agreement, Kelley will organize and host a youth fishing-derby at each FLW Tour event held in 2016.

Second-year professional angler Cody Kelley of Conway, Arkansas, will represent the FLW Foundation on Tour in 2016.Entering his sophomore season on the FLW Tour, the 24-year-old Kelley received industry distinction and acclaim by naming the non-profit Special Olympics Arkansas (SOAR) his primary sponsor in his rookie season. In addition to his SOAR partnership, Kelley now becomes the first angler selected to represent the FLW Foundation as he travels the country competing against the sport’s best anglers on the FLW Tour.

“I look forward to representing the FLW Foundation and bringing awareness to the non-profit organizations that I serve in the 2016 season,” said Kelley. “I have been lucky enough to pursue my dream of becoming a professional angler while also remaining true to my passion of helping other people. The FLW Foundation’s commitment to connect youth to the outdoors lifestyle is a cause that I wholeheartedly support.”

Formed in 2010, the FLW Foundation was created to help connect youth to their natural resources and promote education, conservation and an active lifestyle. The FLW Foundation functions nationwide with thousands of volunteers at hundreds of fishing tournaments and outdoor expos to achieve measureable on-the-ground success in youth angler recruitment and retention. The FLW Foundation maximizes the impact of existing partnerships and expertise through experiential learning opportunities that meet the shared goals of partner schools, natural resource agencies and corporations. This hands-on approach allows the FLW Foundation and its partners to connect outdoor leisure activities with sound educational principles.

“We followed Cody’s work with the Special Olympics Arkansas closely while he was on Tour in 2015,” said Dave Washburn, FLW Vice President of Operations. “Cody’s values align well with the mission of the FLW Foundation and we are confident that he is going to do a great job increasing awareness of the Foundation and helping us to achieve our goal of connecting youth to their natural resources in meaningful ways.”

Fast track to mastery of Humminbird® ONIX® family’s amazing fish-finding power

Eufaula, AL (November 17, 2015) – Since 2014, when Humminbird® ONIX® won “Best of Electronics” at ICAST, pros, guides and discerning anglers the world over have turned to ONIX for an edge on the water.

Right out of the box, ONIX offers an unparalleled host of features and technologies never seen before in sonar/GPS combos, including the addition of industry-first proprietary Humminbird® LakeMaster™ technologies like AutoChart™ Live and SmartStrike™, which make real-time user-generated high-definition mapping and predictive fish patterning possible within the ONIX unit itself, no PC or upload to a server or cloud required.

Combine that with winning technologies like HD Side Imaging™, 360 Imaging™, HD Down Imaging™, DualBeam™ PLUS with SwitchFire™, Precision GPS, built-in TriFuel™ cartography, 1024 x 768V screen resolution, and ethernet additions like RADAR, NMEA 2000 and L-M-H frequency CHIRP, and anglers have never had so much fish-finding power at their fingertips.

And while ONIX is intuitive to use, most anglers only scratch the surface of ONIX’s nearly limitless power. That being said, here’s some great news for all of us who wished we had more time on the water to master our fishing electronics and catch more fish.

‘Comprehensive ONIX’ Training DVD Now Available

Humminbird’s most feature-packed fish finders now have an equally powerful instructional tool, designed to accelerate ONIX users along the electronics learning curve. With the recent release of “The Technological Angler, Volume 3: Comprehensive ONIX” on DVD and digital video, ONIX users can tap the experience and award-winning teaching expertise of Humminbird guru Dr. Jason Halfen, who leads ONIX owners on the path to fishing electronics mastery.

“The Technological Angler, Volume 3: Comprehensive ONIX” provides a detailed Humminbird ONIX training experience, and serves as must-watch video training for new ONIX owners and experienced ONIX users.

The 75 minutes of instructional content is divided between the setup that a user would often perform while off the water, and the fine-tuning that accompanies ONIX use while on the water. Dr. Halfen explains: “The setup portion of Comprehensive ONIX is designed around the Home Screen, which serves as the command center for all ONIX features and functions. ONIX offers an incredible array of user-customized functions, and we demonstrate how to access all of these functions from the Home Screen and adjust them to suit individual user needs and preferences.”

Of course, even perfect pre-trip preparation requires fine-tuning once the boat is launched and lures are cast into inky-dark waters. The second portion of “The Technological Angler, Volume 3: Comprehensive ONIX”, provides detailed on-the-water training in the operation of each ONIX fish-finding technology. Dr. Halfen explains: “The on-the-water portion of Comprehensive ONIX takes the user on a detailed tour of the Side Imaging, Down Imaging, 2D SONAR, GPS/cartography, waypoint management, and AutoChart Live features of the ONIX system.  These are the key features and functions that ONIX owners use to find and catch fish, and we demonstrate how each of these is used, adjusted, and optimized.”

“The Technological Angler, Volume 3: Comprehensive ONIX” is the most recent instructional video release from tournament angler, guide, and angling communicator Dr. Jason Halfen. “Comprehensive ONIX” follows on the heels of the AGLOW Best-in-Television-award winning “Success with Side Imaging” and the detailed follow-up video, “Integrated Technology”.

To provide users with a path to bring their electronics training to the boat, The Technological Angler also produces unique, water-friendly Quick Reference Cards for all Humminbird fish finders. For the Humminbird owner who wants a more extensive training experience, Dr. Halfen also conducts full-day sonar training workshops across the country. The entire collection of Technological Angler training tools and workshops for Humminbird fish finders are available at www.thetechnologicalangler.com.

You’ve invested in ONIX, Humminbird’s most powerful, feature-packed fish finder. Now unleash the power of ONIX with “Comprehensive ONIX” on DVD or digital video, available exclusively from The Technological Angler. Let the learning begin!

DEVERE WINS WALMART BASS FISHING LEAGUE WILD CARD TOURNAMENT ON LAKE HARTWELL

DEVERE WINS WALMART BASS FISHING LEAGUE WILD CARD TOURNAMENT ON LAKE HARTWELL

Smith Wins Co-angler Title

[print_link]

SENECA, S.C. (Nov. 16, 2015) – Mike Devere of Berea, Kentucky, weighed five bass totaling 12 pounds even Saturday to win the Walmart Bass Fishing League (BFL) Wild Card on Lake Hartwell with a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 21 pounds, 11 ounces. For his win, Devere earned $3,696 and a berth into the 2016 BFL All-American Championship – one of the longest running championships in competitive bass fishing.

Mike Devere of Berea, Kentucky, weighed a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 21 pounds, 11 ounces to win the Walmart Bass Fishing League (BFL) Wild Card on Lake Hartwell and $3,696. Devere won the event by targeting rock structure in four different areas mid-lake within a five-mile radius of each other. He said the most productive locations were mud banks that had a little bit of rock mixed in.

“The water levels have come up nearly 8 feet over the past several weeks, but I found that the bass weren’t congregating any shallower,” said Devere, a 20-year veteran of FLW competition. “They were staying out deep so I dragged my jig along the bottom and was able to get something going.”

Devere said he caught eight keepers both days of the tournament using one lure – a black and blue-colored ½-ounce Zorro Booza Bug Jig rigged with a green-pumpkin Zoom Big Salty Chunk.

“The bass really liked the Booza Bug,” said Devere. “Sometimes I’d hop it or twitch it, but I soon discovered that the fish preferred it to be dragged slowly, so I stuck with that technique each day and it worked out.”

The top six boaters that qualified for the 2016 BFL All-American were:

1st:          Mike Devere, Berea, Ky., 10 bass, 21-11, $3,696

2nd:         Jim Eakin, Clarksville, Tenn., 10 bass, 20-8

3rd:          Scott Towry, Lawrenceburg, Tenn., 10 bass, 20-4, $1,848

4th:          Mike Morris, White, Ga., 10 bass, 19-15, $1,260

5th:          Thomas  Helton, Charleston, Tenn., 10 bass, 19-15, $945

6th:          Chris Darby, Hot Springs, Ark., 10 bass, 19-4, $756

 

Rounding out the top-10 boaters were:

7th:          Carl Whitfield, Anderson, S.C., eight bass, 19-3, $672

8th:          Bobby Padgett, LaGrange, Ga., 10 bass, 19-1, $588

9th:          Mike Saleeba, Manitou, Ky., 10 bass, 18-8

10th:        Artie Phillips, Monroe, N.C., nine bass, 18-7, $546

 

Brent Tullis of Acworth, Georgia, caught the biggest bass of the tournament in the Boater Division, a fish weighing 4 pounds, 6 ounces, which earned him Friday’s Big Bass Award of $192.

Complete results can be found at FLWFishing.com.

Wesley Smith of Vinemont, Alabama, won the co-angler division and $1,973 with a two-day total of eight bass weighing 18 pounds, 12 ounces.

 

The top six co-angers that qualified for the 2016 BFL All-American were:

1st:          Wesley Smith, Vinemont, Ala., eight bass, 18-12, $1,973

2nd:         Matt Webb, Newnan, Ga., 10 bass, 10 bass, 14-5

3rd:          William Dorr, Easley, S.C., six bass, 13-2, $986

4th:          March Glenn, Decatur, Ga., seven bass, 12-12

5th:          Charles Hatherill, Vero Beach, Fla., seven bass, 11-15

6th:          Rex McTier, Endeavor, Wis., eight bass, 10-10, $672

 

Rounding out the top-10 co-anglers were:

7th:          Eddie Cook, Clemmons, N.C., nine bass, nine bass, 10-2, $504

8th:          Greg Bierman, Cincinnati, Ohio, nine bass, 10-2, $404

9th:          Kurt Moser, Max Meadows, Va., seven bass, 9-13, $359

10th:        Mike Geisler, Oxford, Ohio, five bass, 9-9, $314

 

The BFL Wild Card on Lake Hartwell was hosted by the Mountain Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 50 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the Walmart BFL All-American. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the Rayovac FLW Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.
