Are Spotted Bass Trying to Take Over Kerr Lake? Anglers Raise Concerns During Anglers Choice Championship


In the serene waters of Kerr Lake, a controversy is bubbling up, one that resonates deeply with anglers who consider these waters their second home. Recently, during the Anglers Choice Championship event, a wave of worry swept through the angling community. What was the cause of this alarm? Spotted Bass. Yes, these seemingly innocuous fish have sparked a heated debate among anglers, who firmly believe that they are attempting to dominate Kerr Lake. As someone who witnessed the concerned murmurs and fervent discussions among my fellow anglers, it’s essential to dive into the heart of this matter. Why should Spotted Bass be removed, and how exactly are they taking over our beloved lake?

Spotted Bass, scientifically known as Micropterus punctulatus, are not newcomers to debates surrounding invasive species. While some argue that introducing diversity into ecosystems can be positive, the introduction of Spotted Bass often comes at a steep price. Their aggressive nature and rapid reproduction make them a menace to native species. Kerr Lake’s ecosystem is delicately balanced, a harmony of various fish species that have coexisted for generations. However, Spotted Bass, with their voracious appetite and adaptability, upset this equilibrium, making them a formidable threat.

The necessity of removing Spotted Bass becomes glaringly apparent when we consider their alarming rate of reproduction. These fish are prolific breeders, and their swift multiplication can overrun a water body in no time. As they multiply, they prey on smaller fish, leading to a sharp decline in the population of native species. The repercussions of this depletion are far-reaching, affecting not only the fish population but also the birds and mammals that depend on them. This disruption of the food chain can result in irreversible damage to Kerr Lake’s aquatic ecosystem.

Another concerning aspect of Spotted Bass is their territorial behavior. They fiercely guard their nesting sites, creating an environment where other fish struggle to find suitable breeding grounds. This territoriality exacerbates competition for resources, leaving native fish in a constant battle for survival. To preserve the delicate balance of Kerr Lake’s ecosystem, it’s imperative to curb the Spotted Bass population.

Economic considerations further emphasize the urgency of addressing the Spotted Bass invasion. Kerr Lake is not merely a body of water; it’s a thriving hub for recreational fishing, attracting enthusiasts from all corners. However, the decline in popular sportfish due to Spotted Bass invasion can deter anglers, leading to a drop in tourism and revenue for local businesses. Protecting the diversity of fish species in Kerr Lake isn’t just an environmental concern; it’s an economic necessity for the communities that depend on the lake’s resources.

To tackle this issue effectively, a comprehensive management plan is crucial. Increased fishing regulations, selective harvesting, and education campaigns can go a long way in mitigating the Spotted Bass threat. Collaboration between local authorities, environmental organizations, and the angling community is essential. By raising awareness about the importance of preserving native fish species and implementing strategic measures, we can protect Kerr Lake’s delicate ecosystem.

In conclusion, the concerns voiced by anglers during the Anglers Choice Championship event are not unfounded. The Spotted Bass invasion poses a significant threat to Kerr Lake’s ecosystem, native species, and the local economy. While the decision to remove a species from its natural habitat is never taken lightly, in this case, it’s a necessary step to protect the delicate balance of Kerr Lake’s aquatic life. By acting decisively and collaboratively, we can ensure that Kerr Lake remains a thriving ecosystem, cherished by anglers and nature enthusiasts for generations to come. Let’s join hands to preserve the beauty and integrity of our beloved Kerr Lake.


Note: This opinion piece reflects the concerns and perspectives of the angling community regarding the Spotted Bass invasion at Kerr Lake.

Rodney Bell & Tommy Jones Win Angler’s Choice Championship on Kerr Lake

October 15, 2023 – The excitement and anticipation that built up throughout the 2023 Angler’s Choice season reached its climax as the Championship event came to a close this past weekend. With 110 teams qualifying, the stakes were high, and the competition was fierce. Out of these, 86 teams ventured onto the waters for the Championship, facing challenging conditions and putting their angling skills to the ultimate test. The outcome? A nail-biting tournament that left spectators in awe and anglers on the edge of their seats.

Despite the tough conditions, with approximately half of the participants heading home earlier than expected on the final day, the weekend showcased the resilience and determination of the angling community. Day one saw anglers wrestling with the elements, with average weights hovering around 9lbs, setting the stage for an unpredictable showdown. However, day two proved even more challenging, as wind, sun, and shifting cloud cover disrupted established patterns, making the bite elusive for many.

In this challenging environment, Rodney Bell & Tommy Jones emerged as the ultimate victors. Their strategic prowess and unwavering determination propelled them to victory, despite weighing in only four fish. Their remarkable catch on day one, totaling an impressive 18.27lb, secured their lead. In a thrilling finish, they clinched the win by a mere .13 ounces over the second-place team, Jeff & Clay Ross. Their two-day total weight of 27.99lbs cemented their position as the champions of the 2023 Angler’s Choice Championship.

The tournament’s outcome speaks volumes about the skill and tenacity of the participants, who battled not only each other but also the unpredictable elements. Every cast, every hookset, and every moment of excitement contributed to the electrifying atmosphere that surrounded the event.

As the curtains fall on the 2023 season, anticipation builds for the next chapter.

Fair Competition vs. Corporate Influence: Unraveling the Debate on Forward-Facing and Live Sonar in Sport Fishing

Dear Editor,

I pen this letter with a profound sense of concern regarding the ongoing debate surrounding forward-facing and live sonar technologies in the realm of sport fishing. As an avid angler and enthusiast, I find myself caught in the middle of a complex discussion that revolves around fair and balanced competition on one hand and the financial interests of the creators of these devices on the other. This delicate balance between innovation and integrity is paramount for the future of our beloved sport.

There’s no denying that the advancements in sonar technologies have completely transformed the way we approach fishing. Forward-facing and live sonar devices have provided us with unprecedented insights into the underwater world, significantly enhancing our ability to locate and catch fish. However, as these technologies seep into competitive fishing, fundamental questions about the core essence of the sport emerge.

On one side of the debate, there are strong arguments in favor of these technologies. Advocates claim that embracing such innovations promotes fair competition by ensuring that all anglers have equal access to the same tools, thereby leveling the playing field. They argue that these devices represent the natural evolution of the sport, allowing anglers to refine their skills and adapt to changing circumstances. In this view, discussions around forward-facing and live sonar are about fairness and equal opportunity, ensuring that fishing tournaments are won based on skill, strategy, and knowledge.

Conversely, there’s a growing concern among anglers, myself included, about the influence of corporations and individuals who create and profit from these devices. The significant investments made by these entities have raised valid questions about the impact of their financial contributions on the decision-making processes within the sport’s governing bodies. There is a fear that the voice of the average angler, someone like me, whose passion for the sport goes beyond monetary interests, might be overshadowed by the power and influence of these stakeholders.

It’s crucial for us, as a community, to critically examine this delicate balance between fair competition and corporate influence. We must recognize the importance of the financial support from these creators, which undoubtedly fuels the growth and sustainability of our sport. However, this support should not come at the expense of compromising the fundamental values that define fishing as a skill-based and intellectually stimulating activity.

Finding a solution to this conundrum requires the establishment of clear guidelines and regulations governing the acceptable use of sonar technologies in competitive fishing. Standardized rules can strike a balance between encouraging innovation and maintaining the core principles of the sport. Moreover, transparency in decision-making processes is paramount. The opinions of anglers and enthusiasts, like myself, should be given due consideration to ensure that corporate interests do not drown out the collective voice of the community.

Additionally, it’s vital for us, as anglers, to engage in open and honest conversations about the ethical implications of using advanced sonar technologies. Understanding both the advantages and disadvantages of these devices will empower us to make informed decisions about their use in both recreational and competitive contexts. Education and awareness can instill a sense of responsibility among anglers, encouraging us to use these technologies judiciously and ethically.

In conclusion, the discussion on forward-facing and live sonar in sport fishing is undeniably complex. It requires us to navigate a fine line between embracing innovation and preserving the integrity of our sport. As we move forward, let us prioritize open dialogue, transparency, and the well-being of the angling community. By doing so, we can ensure that our sport continues to flourish, offering meaningful and enriching experiences to anglers of all backgrounds.

Sincerely,



41st Anniversary WON BASS U.S. Open starts Tomorrow.Josh Bertrand, Gary Klein and Bryant Smith Preview event

San Clemente, Calif. – October 15, 2023 – The 41st Anniversary Bass Cat / Mercury WON BASS U.S. Open presented by Laughlin Tourism Commission and Visit Laughlin kicks off tomorrow on Lake Mohave out of Katerine Landing at Lake Mohave Marina. This event runs through Wednesday October 18. 2023 and marks the second year that the premier bass fishing event in the Western United States will be held on Lake Mohave following consecutive years of lower water conditions at Lake Mead that forced the move.

The 2023 event looks to be as competitive as last year’s event as 182 pro and co anglers will head out onto the 28,000 surface acres of Lake Mohave in search of the kind of quality bass that will take home the 2024 Bass Cat Cougar and Mercury 250 ProXS as well as the cash prize package the eventual champion will receive.  As with any bass fishing tournament, the plans the anglers made during practice will need to be adjusted as the Laughlin area has seen significant swings in weather conditions.

In the pre-practice period, the air temperatures saw cooler temperatures with fall type conditions and some windy conditions. During those days, anglers reported seeing the surface temperatures on Lake Mohave dip as much as 10 degrees.  While it appears that change may have triggered some type of fall migration, those conditions will change as the event begins as the mercury will reach as high as 100 degrees and the winds will taper to a typical 10 to 15 mph.  What effect that has on the fishery remains to be seen.

2022 U.S. Open Champion and MLF Bass Pro Tour pro Josh Bertrand said that he left the areas he won on last year alone and searched new water for this during practice. “Mohave is fishing differently than it did last a year ago,” said Bertrand.  “We fished it like a summer event in 2022, and this is more into the fall conditions this year, so it’s going to influence how we do things.  “I searched for new water and found some things that I’ll rely on but saved the areas I used to win last year in hopes that they’ll still be good.  It’s a different year and I hope to be in position to contend again, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Fishing his third WON Bass U.S. Open, is Roseville, Calif. pro Bryant Smith who just completed his rookie season on The Bassmaster Elite Series.  Smith said that he realized how much the event meant to him as a Western angler after he fished his first U.S. Open and made it a priority.  “This is the marquee event and after I fished it for the first time, it became an event I wanted to win,” he said.  “That won’t be an easy task this week, whoever wins is going to have to do several things and make adjustments along the way between the reaction bite, finesse tactics and fishing Active Target Forward Facing Sonar; we’re going to have to earn it this week.”

A former U.S. Open Champion and veteran of more than half of the 41 holdings of the event is Major League Fishing co-founder Gary Klein. A Western Original, who now makes his home in Texas said he had an urging to return to his roots.  “I entered the event because I really started getting an itch to fish out West again, and this event is one that means something to me and a lot of others,” said Klein.  “I’ve been out here for a week doing a lot of looking and a little fishing and like how it’s shaping up.  It’s not going to be an easy tournament to win, but I feel like I’ve found something I can build on and give it a run; I would really like to give myself a chance to be in the conversation on day three – that would give me a shot at winning my second U.S. Open title.”

Bertrand won the 2022 WON Bass U.S. Open title with a three-day winning weight of 67.78 pounds and it would be reasonable to expect similar weight ranges to be in play this year.  Historical averages for winning weights in events on the lake typically exceeds 20 pounds a day, and even with a field this large, that should hold steady.  Fishing pressure is likely to play a role as anglers may find themselves competing for areas as the event grinds on.

The 2023 WON BASS U.S. Open Sponsor Expo will be held October 15 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the E-Center Convention Center, adjacent to the host hotel, the Edgewater Hotel, Casino & Resort located at 2020 S. Casino Drive | Laughlin, NV 89029 and will feature dozens of vendor booths showcasing their wares. That sponsor’s fair will be followed by the induction of the 2023 class of the WON BASS Hall of Fame starting at 5:00PM Both events are open to the general public.

The 2023 WON BASS Hall of Fame induction ceremony will occur immediately following the conclusion of Sponsor’s Expo. The WON BASS Hall of Fame has been established to recognize the efforts of competitors and individuals instrumental in the industry who have left indelible marks on the organization and professional bass fishing in the Western United States through WON BASS. 

Individuals being inducted in this inaugural class are three-time U.S. Open Champion Aaron Martens, two-time U.S. Open Champions John Murray and Byron Velvick and past U.S. Open Champion Pat Donoho and Fred Ward.

The three-day long Bass Cat / Mercury WON BASS U.S. Open presented by Laughlin Tourism Commission and Visit Laughlin competition itself will begin Monday, October 16, with a champion being crowned on October 18 at the conclusion of the final weigh-in. Takeoff with 182 pro and AAA anglers will commence at safe light and weigh-ins will occur at 3:00PM each day. Takeoff and weigh-ins will be held at Katherine Landing at Lake Mohave Marina located at 2690 Katherine Spur, Bullhead City, AZ 86429.

WON Bass has reserved Thursday October 19 and Friday October 20 in case any day of the event is postponed due to unsafe conditions by the National Parks Service.

Late bonus pushes Messer to Bassmaster Open victory at Harris Chain of Lakes

Late bonus pushes Messer to Bassmaster Open victory at Harris Chain of Lakes

LEESBURG, Fla. — Two weeks ago, Matt Messer wondered how he would pay for his 2024 tournament entry fees.

But winning the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Harris Chain of Lakes completely changed that outlook.

After leading Day 1 with 24 pounds, 6 ounces, the Warfield, Ky., angler added a second-round total of 15-7 and tallied 39-13. Edging Blake Sylvester of Plaquemine, La., by 1-12, Messer won $42,467 and an automatic berth in the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic scheduled for March 22-24 in Tulsa, Okla.

“I’ve been dreaming of the Classic since I was 5 and now I get a shot at it,” Messer said. “I can hardly talk. I’m torn all to pieces.”

Messer, who won the 2022 Strike King Bassmaster College Series at Harris Chain presented by Bass Pro Shops with his brother and Kentucky Christian University teammate Lafe Messer, caught both day’s limits in Lake Griffin. While Day 1 yielded a 7-14 and a 7-2, the second round saw his lone shot at a kicker fizzle.

“I did not think I was going to catch ‘em,” Messer admits. “I was grinding and I got one big bite, but I didn’t get it in the boat. It was like a 7-pounder.

“I was (discouraged), but I told myself, ‘If it’s the Lord’s plan, it’s going to happen.’”

Messer would end up catching his fish on a Texas-rigged Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Creature Hawg and a 1/4-ounce Boogerman buzzbait. The latter would deliver the day-making fish right before Messer’s trip back to the weigh-in.

“I came back (from Lake Griffin) and there were boats lined up at the lock,” he said. “I asked (the anglers) if I could fish in front of them while they waited. I trolled by them, threw a buzzbait against the wall and at 3:45, I caught a 3 1/2-pounder.”

Calling the Harris Chain his favorite fishery, Messer said a key Day 1 decision likely determined his fate.

“Yesterday, I was going through the Dead River,” he said. “I was going to go to Lake Dora to catch a limit. I knew I could go and catch enough to get a check. But I started thinking that I really didn’t care about getting a check on this place — I wanted to win.

“I went to Griffin about 11 o’clock with two bass in my livewell. I caught those two 7s, and it just worked out.”

Sylvester finished second with 38-1. Making the long run to Lake Apopka, he caught a limit of 15-14 on Day 1 and then added 22-3 on the final day.

Returning to Apopka for Day 2, Sylvester anchored his big limit with an 8-pounder. He caught his bass by throwing a Prototype Lures Smasher Frog and a Delta Lures Thunder Jig and flipping a Missile Baits D Bomb.

“I was around some big ones,” he said. “I caught a 7-8 (on Friday), and I saw a couple of big ones that missed my frog. I left a lot out there yesterday. I weighed in three 2-pounders and you can’t do that on a place like this.”

Sylvester started his day in Lake Harris. Once he reached Apopka, he caught all of his bass between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m.

Ben Milliken of New Caney, Texas, finished third with 32-3. After placing second on Day 1 with 20-13, he endured a day of frustration but managed to catch a final round limit of 11-6.

“A lot of things went wrong today, and I really had to work hard to overcome a lot of challenges,” Milliken said. “I got to my first spot and there was an angler parked on top of it. I never caught any fish there, so I drove all the way down to Lake Apopka. I got to the lock and there were 20 boats lined up — they can only take three at a time.

“I finally got down to Apopka around 11:30 or noon and got to the brushpile where I caught my whole Day 1 limit. I broke off the first four fish that bit on a drop shot with a 7-inch 6th Sense Divine Shakey Worm.”

Milliken ended up catching two fish out of the brushpile and filled his limit elsewhere.

Lafe Messer of Warfield, Ky., won the $750 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award for his 8-12.

As part of the Yamaha Power Pay program, Sylvester took home a $2,000 bonus. He also earned an additional $500 Garmin Tournament Rewards bonus.

Pic Dieffenbauch Jr. of Hundred, W.Va., won the nonboater division with 21-5. Dieffenbauch led Day 1 with a limit of 13-14, which he anchored with a 6-15. Adding a limit of 7-7 on Day 2 pushed him past Mike Spears of Jasper, Ala., by 2 pounds.

“Getting a big bag on Day 1 was the key,” he said. “Today was a struggle. It was 10 o’clock before I had my first fish.”

Dieffenbauch caught all of his fish on a Zoom Speed Worm in the junebug color. He rigged the bait with a 3/16-ounce weight and fished it around submerged vegetation.

Rick Adams of Lake Wales, Fla., won the $250 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award among nonboaters with his 8-1.

The tournament was shortened to just two days due to inclement weather on Thursday — and in addition to deciding one of the final Classic berths of the season, it determined the final standings for the Opens Elite Qualifiers division. Only anglers who fished all nine Opens were eligible for the EQs, and the top nine finishers in the season standings will receive invitations to the 2024 Bassmaster Elite Series. 

JT Thompkins of Myrtle Beach, S.C., won the EQ Division Angler of the Year title with 1,659 points. The other eight EQ anglers earning an Elite invitation were John Garrett of Union City, Tenn., Trey McKinney of Carbondale, Ill., Robert Gee of Knoxville, Tenn., Tyler Williams of Belgrade, Maine., Wesley Gore of Clanton, Ala., Logan Parks of Auburn, Ala., Milliken and Kyle Patrick of Cooperstown, N.Y. Since Kenta Kimura, who finished fifth in the EQ point standings, is already an Elite Series angler, that allowed one additional angler to earn an Elite invitation. 

“You look back at the year I had and I don’t think I’ll be able to duplicate a string of tournaments like that again,” Thompkins said of his four Top 10 finishes. “To be able to do that with the kind of people around me was a blessing.

“Big shout out to everyone who made the Elite Series. Those guys really made the race what it was and they made the (EQ Angler of the Year) trophy mean that much more.”

The tournament was hosted by Visit Lake, the City of Leesburg and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission.

Messer adjusts and takes Bassmaster Open lead at Harris Chain of Lakes

LEESBURG, Fla. — Most folks love it when a plan comes together.

But Matt Messer is actually pretty stoked that his did not initially work.

As much as it pained Messer to shift gears from his starting area and technique, doing so delivered a limit of 24 pounds, 6 ounces, which leads Day 1 of the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Harris Chain of Lakes.

Hailing from Warfield, Ky., Messer heads into Championship Saturday — the event was shortened to two days due to inclement weather on Thursday — with a lead of 3-9 over Ben Milliken of New Caney, Texas.

“I had something I was going to run, but I only had two keepers at almost 11 o’clock. I had to completely switch everything,” Messer said. “I have a way that I can catch a limit pretty easily, but I knew I wasn’t going to win doing it, so I completely scrapped that.

“I’ve fished this place a bunch. I love this place and it ended up working out. I got a couple of the right bites.”

Anchoring his bag with a 7-14 largemouth, Messer also had a 7-2.

No stranger to these waters, Messer and his brother, Kentucky Christian University teammate Lafe Messer, won the Bassmaster College Series event at Harris Chain in 2022 with a two-day total of 61 pounds, 13 ounces that included monster bags of 25-6 and 36-7, a College Series single-day record.

After severe weather prompted the postponement of Day 1, the full field is now fishing both Friday and Saturday instead of the traditional format of trimming the field to the Top 10 for the third and final day.

With the heavy rains and strong winds roiling the Harris Chain, Messer found much of his success flipping a Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Creature Hawg. While many chose to flip hydrilla and Kissimmee grass, Messer opted to target pads, eelgrass and shellbars.

“This is the dirtiest I’ve seen this water,” Messer said. “I think I could have caught ‘em on some of the stuff I started on this morning. I’m glad I didn’t because I ended up finding good ones elsewhere.”

In addition to his creature bait, Messer caught keepers on a Zoom Speed Worm and a buzzbait.

“I started catching them early, and I junk fished my way to a limit,” he said. “The two big ones came between noon and 1. Both of them were pretty close.

“I fished Lake Harris, Eustis and Griffin. I have a lot of history on this place, so I was just running around checking stuff. I wasn’t really on anything (solid).”

Milliken, who won the Bassmaster Open at Toledo Bend in mid-April, is in second place with 20-13. Stating that he was committed to his areas regardless of weather, Milliken said he was pleasantly surprised with the quality he encountered.

“I was just fortunate to find a spot with a big group of fish on Day 2 of practice,” Milliken said. “I never went back there in practice, so I had no idea what it was going to be like when I got there this morning.

“I fished multiple lakes today, but I’m going to narrow it down tomorrow because I know what I’m doing. One lake had all of them — one spot.”

Fishing in what he described as a mid-depth range, Milliken said he caught his bass on a mixture of dragging baits, cranking and a big glidebait.

Bassmaster Elite Series pro John Soukup of Sapulpa, Okla., is in third place with 19-10. Parking in one lake all day, Soukup put his faith in an offshore grass area he had located during practice.

“It was a whole day of figuring out what the bass were going to do — was (Thursday’s weather) going to pack them into their areas really tight, or was it going to loosen them up because the weather started getting good and they started feeling good,” Soukup pondered. “It was a little bit of both.

“I think the weather drew more fish into the cover, and they started biting early and kept going and going and going.”

Noting he threw mostly reaction baits, Soukup said he had several other boats in close proximity, but none seemed to fare as well as he did. The key, he said, was stepping on the gas.

“It was speed, weight, bait,” Soukup said. “I was being way more aggressive than everyone else.

“When other guys came through my area, I could see they were struggling. When people are struggling, they usually think they have to slow down. But sometimes to trigger fish in Florida, you need a heavier weight and a faster presentation.”

Messer is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 7-14.

Pic Dieffenbauch Jr. of Hundred, W.Va., leads the co-angler division with 13-4. With a 6-15 anchoring his limit, Dieffenbauch established a margin of 3-6 over Yukinori Kusabuka of Ibaraki, Japan.

“I threw some moving baits and I did some flipping,” Dieffenbauch said. “I caught the big one on a flipping bait in the afternoon.

“It kind of surprised me because it was later in the day. It wasn’t even in the cover. It was just out in the open water.”

Dieffenbauch holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with his 6-15.

JT Thompkins of Myrtle Beach, S.C., leads the Bassmaster Opens Elite Qualifiers standings with 1667 points. The EQ season standings will be decided after Saturday’s rounds, with the top nine finishers earning invitations to fish the 2024 Bassmaster Elite Series.

Saturday’s takeoff is scheduled for 7:15 a.m. ET at Ski Beach and the weigh-in will be held back at the launch site at 3:15 p.m. FS1 will broadcast live with the leaders beginning at 8 a.m. with continuing coverage on Bassmaster.com

The tournament is being hosted by Visit Lake, the City of Leesburg and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission.
