Co-Angler of the Year off to good start at Forrest Wood Cup

09.Aug.2012

GAINESVILLE, Ga. – Showing the stuff that earned him the FLW Tour Co-Angler of the Year title, Nick Hensley pulled ahead of the field to lead day one of the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Lanier.

Six weeks after clinching his title with a second-place finish in the FLW Tour Major event on Lake Champlain, the Cummings, Ga. competitor caught a 5-bass limit that weighed 12 pounds, 2 ounces and put him atop the co-angler field. Not that he needed any stimulus, but fishing with past Forrest Wood Cup champion Dion Hibdon was, no doubt, motivational.

2012 Forrest Wood Cup

Lake Lanier – Duluth, Ga.

Opening round, Thursday

Wheeler blows away the field … With six returning Forrest Wood Cup champions, multiple FLW Tour Angler of the Year winners and a lethal group of veteran pros comprising the 46-member field, the day-one leader at the 2012 Forrest Wood Cup turned out to be none other than a 21-year-old rookie upstart named Jacob Wheeler. As the 2011 BFL All-American champion, Wheeler participated as an FLW Tour pro for the very first time this season, finishing 30th overall in the point’s standings while mounting a significant challenge for rookie of the year honors. While Wheeler’s rookie season was one of the truly feel-good stories of the 2012 FLW Tour campaign, few could have predicted that he would be challenging for the Forrest Wood Cup title on the very first day of competition – but that’s exactly what he did.

Greg Heindselman of Lewiston, Mo., won last year’s Cabela’s Federation Nation Northern Division Championship. He hopes to put together a winning pattern for this year.

SAVANNA, Ill. — Greg Heindselman of Lewiston, Mo., isn’t expecting a repeat in this year’s Cabela’s B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Northern Division Championship, but he didn’t anticipate winning last year’s event, either. After a relatively futile practice in Fort Madison, Iowa, Heindselman found a productive creek in competition and put together a last-minute pattern that led to success, capped by a 4-pounder that went a long way to ensuring victory.

Fit for Fishing – By Kevin Hawk – Story – Part 1


Fit for Fishing by Kevin Hawk


Eating healthy is important to me because it gives me the sustained energy and mental sharpness I need to spend 10-14 hours on the water preparing for a tournament. That’s why I avoid fast food chain restaurants and processed foods as much as possible. It’s easy to stop at McDonalds after pulling off the water because it’s quick and convenient. But if you’re like me, you never feel good after inhaling a double cheeseburger, fries, and a coke. In fact, you feel lazy and sleepy.
One of the most important tools I carry with me on Tour is my Crockpot (aka—slow cooker), because it allows me to make convenient, healthy meals. I personally like the 4 quart-size Crockpot. It’s the perfect size for one or two people, easy to clean, and costs less than $15.
The first thing I do when I arrive to a tournament destination (make sure the hotel room has a fridge) is go grocery shopping and buy all my food at one time to prevent repeat trips to the store. I typically buy a few whole chickens, some vegetables and greens for my dinners.
It takes me less than five minutes to fill the Crockpot before heading to the ramp each morning. When I get back I’m greeted with an aroma that reminds me of my mom’s kitchen and a meal that tastes (almost) as good. And, I have leftovers to take with me for lunch the following day.
I’ve experimented with many different recipes over the years, but here’s one of my favorites:
3-4.5lb whole chicken
1 can El Pato Jalapeno sauce
½ small bag of peeled carrots
1 Tbsp. Cumin
Directions:
Load the Crockpot with the whole chicken and top with the carrots. Then pour in the El Pato sauce and cumin. Set the Crockpot on low and walk away. Whether you’re gone for 6 or 12 hours you’ll have a hot, delicious meal waiting for you when you get back. I like to throw some sliced avocado on top after I plate my meal and mix together a side salad for a complete dinner.
If you’re tired of feeling the fast food side effects start making your own meals in a Crockpot. I guarantee you’ll feel better, sleep better, and you might even fish better.
