Birmingham Pro Hayden Marbut Leads Day One of the Toyota Series Championship on Wheeler Lake

Former Auburn College Fishing Angler Leads by 1-Pound, 9-Ounce Margin After Opening Day of Competition

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Nov. 7, 2024) – Well known for being one of the more fickle lakes on the Tennessee River, Wheeler Lake produced a tightly packed leaderboard on Day 1 of the 2024 Toyota Series Championship at Wheeler Lake Presented by Bass Boat Technologies. It took nearly 17 pounds to crack the Top 10, and 24 pros managed more than 14 pounds – not terrible by any means.

That said, Hayden Marbut of Birmingham, Alabama, was the star of the show. The only man to catch more than 20 pounds, the Alabama native waylaid 21-6 for the lead. In second, Mike Raber of Elkhart, Indiana, caught 19-13 on Day 1, and  Ethan Fields of Breese, Illinois, edged into third with 18-5.

Catching his two kickers on nearly back-to-back casts at his first stop, Marbut may have been leading the event since about 7:45 Thursday morning.

“It was a good day for sure,” said Marbut. “I didn’t really know what to expect coming into the day. I had a good first day of practice and pretty much stopped fishing after that and just looked around. But I spent a lot of time out here in pre-practice and tried to make myself as much like a local as I could, and it worked out today.”

A standout in college for Auburn and an impressive performer in the Central Division this year, Marbut is one of many new-school anglers who are lighting things up at a young age. Weighing four smallmouth and one fish of indeterminate species, Marbut had a hot start and then a slow afternoon.

“I didn’t catch a ton of fish today, but they were the right size,” he said. “So, I’m excited to get back out there tomorrow. I probably caught caught 10 or 12, but probably nine keepers, and I culled a couple of times. But other than that, it was really slow, and it happened pretty fast this morning.”

One thing is for sure: Marbut is all-in on this. He’s got his eye on the $235,000 top prize and the REDCREST berth that comes with it. In 2025, MLF’s championship event is on Guntersville.

“I mean, I’m always all-in, but there’s definitely some extra juice with REDCREST on the home pond,” he said. “In pre-practice, I was grinding out here.”

The long-running bass-fishing championship, hosted by the Huntsville-Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Madison County Commission and the Huntsville Sports Commission, features the nation’s best Toyota Series pros and international anglers, and is the culmination of the 2024 Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats season.

Overall, there were 845 bass weighing 1,877 pounds, 15 ounces caught by 193 pros Thursday. The catch included 140 five-bass limits.

Eric White of Cullman, Alabama, leads the Strike King co-angler division with five bass weighing 13 pounds, 12 ounces, followed by Stephen Draghi of Sparrow Bush, New York , who weighed five bass totaling 12-13 to end the day in second place. Co-anglers are competing for a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower outboard.

Back in February, both Marbut and White won their respective divisions in the Central Division event on Lake Guntersville. So, moving down the chain by one dam wasn’t enough to trip either of them up.

West Virginia’s Goff takes early lead at B.A.S.S. Nation Championship

West Virginia’s Goff takes early lead at B.A.S.S. Nation Championship

NationChampionship_MercuryLowrance_4c.png

GROVE, Okla. — The Sooner State has suffered drought for months and the legendary bass bite on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees has struggled because of it.

A veritable deluge — 9 inches of rain — fell here earlier this week, however, which was a shake to the picture for Day 1 of the 2024 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance. Wednesday’s weights were closer to what’s expected here in early November and definitely an improvement on what locals had been catching in recent weeks.

Alex Goff, a 27-year-old resident of Clendenin, W.V., led the way on Day 1 with a limit of five largemouth bass totaling 15 pounds, 15 ounces. Goff qualified for the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship after winning his state’s Nation tournament, and he previously won the Bassmaster Junior World Championship on Alabama’s Lake Wilson in 2012 when he was 15.

Goff shined again on the big stage Wednesday, making the most of rapidly changing conditions on 41,000-acre Grand Lake. Anglers reported catching fish via various methods, but one similarity among the early leaders was they covered plenty of water and used just about everything in the tackle box to find the best bites. Finding rainwater draining from Grand’s backwaters also proved successful for some near the top of the leaderboard.

“I haven’t had a chance to make this tournament before,” Goff said. “But I have a good job now that gives me the opportunity to come out here and take a shot at maybe fishing for a living. Catching what I did today was a blessing.”

Especially so, he said, considering how much he struggled during practice days.

“I had one 3-pound keeper the first day of practice and that was it,” he said. “I was hoping the bright sun today would make the bite better, and it did. I went shallow and ended up catching some fish later in the day. They moved up just like I thought they would.”

Goff caught a 4-9 heavy in the final half-hour of his day, boosting him into the early lead.

“I was fishing some points and throwing this little squarebill — cranking it,” he said. “I thought it was a catfish at first, the way it hit. But he rolled and I saw it was a bass. That made my day.”

Blake Capps of Muskogee, Okla., is in second place with a 15-2 limit. He too struggled in practice but pieced together a good bag on Wednesday.

“I really didn’t know what to expect, but I had a game plan, and I stuck with it,” the 28-year-old said. “It wasn’t easy by any means.”

James Biggs, of Comanche, Texas, is in third place with a 15-1 limit. He said his catch was a study in “Junk Fishing 101”.

“I missed a 3 ½ early and we got a late start … It was a hectic morning for us, but we turned it around. We caught an early limit and just kept things steady from there,” he said.

Biggs, 44, has won on Grand Lake previously (in the 2014 Bass Federation Championship), and he still fishes the area regularly. That familiarity and previous success boosted his confidence heading into Day 2.

“I’m doing a little bit of everything with different baits, but I finally was able to funnel into what’s actually going on. And I like the high-pressure, bluebird conditions we had today. It can make it tough, but I don’t mind that. I want the weather to change every day because it will make everyone re-pattern every day. I think that’ll benefit me.”

Rounding out the Top 5 boaters are Oklahoma’s Chris Jones with 14-14 and North Carolina’s Carson Orellana with 14-13. Orellana had the Phoenix Boats Big Bass (6-3) on Day 1.

Two-time defending champion Will Davis Jr of Alabama lurks just behind in sixth place with 14-9. Davis won the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on Alabama’s Pickwick Lake in 2022 and became the only angler in history to defend his Nation Championship when he won on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina a year later. 

Adam Marceaux of Morgan City, La., leads the non-boater division with five bass weighing 13-1. Delaware’s Jacob Muir is in second with 12-15 and West Virginia’s Mark Moran is third with 10-15. Emery Gray of South Carolina weighed the Big Bass of the Day (5-3) among non-boaters. 

A total of 482 anglers are competing across boater and non-boater divisions on Grand Lake for a cash purse of approximately $225,000. The winning angler will collect $50,000, an invitation to compete in the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series and a Nation’s Best boat and truck combo to use for the year. 

The Top 3 anglers on Grand will earn berths into the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic to be held March 21-23 on Lake Ray Roberts in Fort Worth, Texas. In addition, the second-and third-place anglers will receive paid entry into the Bassmaster Elite Qualifiers field for 2025, circumventing the need to qualify via one of the two new divisions the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens presented by SEVIIN will debut in the 2025 season.

The full field will fish again Thursday, and the Top 20 boaters advance to compete on Friday. The non-boater leader after the Day 2 weigh-in also will fish on Friday as will any other non-boater whose total weight ranks among the Top 10 boater weights.

Take-offs for the 2024 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance are scheduled for 6:30 a.m. CT from Wolf Creek Park in Grove. Weigh-ins begin at 2:15 p.m. CT.

The Grove Convention and Tourism Bureau is hosting this week’s events.

Looking Back: The Day Wagamons Pond Yielded a Delaware Fishing Legend

In the annals of Delaware fishing history, certain catches stand out as watershed moments that remind anglers of the extraordinary possibilities lurking in our local waters. Among these, Andrew Klein’s remarkable 2016 catch at Milton’s Wagamons Pond remains one of the most talked-about fishing achievements in recent memory.

On what seemed like an ordinary February morning eight years ago, Klein landed what many consider the catch of a lifetime: a largemouth bass weighing an impressive 11 pounds, 1.6 ounces. The catch not only secured its place in local fishing lore but also transformed Wagamons Pond from a quiet local fishing spot into a destination for serious anglers.

“It was the kind of fish you hear about but rarely see,” recalls Tom Henderson, who was working at the local bait shop when Klein brought in his catch for verification. “When Andrew walked in that morning, you could tell by the look on his face that something special had happened.”

Klein, who had been fishing Wagamons Pond for years before his historic catch, chose to fish that February morning despite conditions that would have kept most anglers home. “Looking back, it’s almost funny how many people thought I was crazy for going out in February,” Klein said in a recent interview. “But sometimes the biggest fish bite when others aren’t even on the water.”

The impact of Klein’s catch on the local fishing community was immediate and lasting. Wagamons Pond, a modest 41-acre impoundment managed by the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife, saw a significant increase in fishing activity following news of the catch. Local tackle shops reported surges in business as anglers from across the Mid-Atlantic region traveled to Milton hoping to replicate Klein’s success.

“We still get people coming into the shop asking about that bass,” says Mary Roberts, owner of Milton Fishing Supplies. “Eight years later, and they’re still talking about it. Some folks even bring in the old newspaper clippings.”

The environmental conditions that produced such a trophy fish haven’t gone unnoticed by fisheries biologists. Dr. James Wilson, who has studied Wagamons Pond’s ecosystem for over a decade, points to several factors that make the pond capable of producing such impressive specimens.

“The combination of abundant forage fish, good water quality, and proper management practices creates an environment where bass can reach their full potential,” Dr. Wilson explains. “Klein’s catch wasn’t just luck—it was the result of a healthy ecosystem doing exactly what it should.”

The Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife has since used Wagamons Pond as a model for other water body management projects. The success story has influenced fishing regulations and conservation efforts throughout the state, helping to ensure that future generations of anglers will have their own chances at landing a trophy bass.

For younger anglers, Klein’s catch remains an inspiration. Local fishing clubs regularly reference the story during youth fishing programs, using it to illustrate the importance of patience, persistence, and proper fishing techniques.

“We tell the kids that every cast has potential,” says Sarah Martinez, who runs a youth fishing program in Milton. “Klein’s bass proves that you don’t need to travel to exotic locations to find trophy fish. Sometimes they’re right here in your backyard.”

Today, Wagamons Pond continues to draw anglers from across the region. While no one has yet matched Klein’s legendary catch, the pond regularly produces impressive bass, keeping hope alive for those dreaming of their own record-breaking fish.

As Delaware’s fishing community looks back on this memorable catch, it serves as a reminder of the exceptional fishing opportunities available in the First State’s waters. Klein’s bass may have been caught eight years ago, but its impact on local fishing culture continues to ripple through the community, inspiring new generations of anglers to keep casting, keep believing, and keep chasing their own fishing dreams.

For those interested in trying their luck at Wagamons Pond, the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife reminds anglers that a valid fishing license is required, and all state fishing regulations must be observed. The pond remains open year-round, proving that in Delaware fishing, any day could be the day you make history.

MLF Fisheries Management Division Teams Up with American Feeder, TPWD and Local Volunteers for Conservation Efforts in Early, Texas

MLF Fisheries Management Division Teams Up with American Feeder, TPWD and Local Volunteers for Conservation Efforts in Early, Texas

EARLY, Texas (Nov. 5, 2024) –Professional anglers who competed in Early, Texas, last week at the Major League Fishing (MLF) General Tire Team Series Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by recteq left Central Texas with more than just quality entertainment and good impressions. The MLF Fisheries Management Division (FMD) partnered with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), Texas Pro Lake Management and several local fishing teams to complete two Minn Kota Habitat Restoration Projects supported by MossBack Fish Habitat and American Feeder.

As part of the first project, American Feeder provided two high-strength, aluminum fish feeders to be placed in Early Town Center Lake. Each feeder holds up to 75 pounds of fish food. The feeders were presented to the City of Early Mayor Robert Mangrum, Council Member Charles Matlock and city staff by MLF pros Gary Klein, Alton Jones Jr. and Ott Defoe and MLF FMD Director Steven Bardin.

“We were thrilled to partner with the MLF Fisheries Management Division, Texas Pro Lake Management, TPWD and the City of Early, Texas to support the lake rehabilitation at the Early Town Center Lake,” said Matt Swainbank, Sales Manager at American Feeder. “Creating a space for local and youth anglers to fish is vital to our industry, and we were glad the opportunity arose in conjunction with the General Tire Team Series event.  Our two H125 aluminum fish feeders will be a great addition to the lake enhancement project.  These feeders will help continue to grow the sunfish, bass, trout and catfish populations there for years to come.”

The second project began on Lake Brownwood in September, when the TPWD worked with the De Leon High School Fishing Team and the MLF FMD to assess the lake and locate sites that were more than 14 feet deep and near prominent fishing locations. Seven sites were selected for habitat deployment.

In early October, volunteers from the TPWD, Texas Pro Lake Management and the Tarleton State University Fisheries Society built artificial fishing habitat – the MossBack 40-inch Conservation Cubes and 60-inch Safe Haven XL habitats for deployment. The products were anchored using concrete supplies provided by the local Home Depot store in Brownwood, Texas. Additional habitat was also provided by the TPWD Habitat and Angler Access Program in the form of Reef Balls from the Reef Ball Foundation, and concrete culverts were provided by the Brown County Water Improvement District. The habitats will be deployed the second week of November.

Six pro anglers competing in the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup volunteered their time on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Early Town Center Lake to fish with local youth and community members at the MLF Fishing with the Pros event. Those pros included Brent Chapman, Justin Cooper, Ott DeFoe, Gary Klein, Wesley Strader and Martin Villa. Early Town Center Lake is a 7-acre lake stocked with bluegill, sunfish, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish and rainbow trout and is maintained to promote fishing in the community.

“We can’t say enough great things about Major League Fishing, the Fisheries Management Division and the impact the organization has left on the Early community,” said Tony Aaron, Early City Administrator. “The economic impact of the event and the time the pros spent with our community and staff were invaluable, and the habitat deployment and conservation efforts in Lake Brownwood and Early Town Center Lake will benefit our community for years to come. Thank you to the TPWD, American Feeder, Texas Pro Lake Management and everyone who volunteered their time for this project.”

Television coverage of the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by recteq, highlighting Lake Brownwood and Early, Texas, will premiere on Outdoor Channel as six two-hour episodes in March 2025. New MLF General Tire Team Series episodes will premiere each Saturday morning on Outdoor Channel and will be available to stream on MOTV.

PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE ON CITATION SIZE FISH

Largemouth Bass/Smallmouth Bass
The bass will be in there full swing this month in to their fall patterns. Look for fish to be in many depth ranges and a variety of lures will be needed with changing weather. Target rocky areas, flat points shallow drop offs and deeper docks. Topwater in the mornings can be productive this month and will produce some quality fish. Primary baits in the Fall are usually crawfish imitating lures and will produce the most bites. Shakey Heads, Plastic worms, Drop shots and Jigs will produce fish anywhere from 5 to 15ft in the fall. Topwater can also be a factor this month. Try buzzbaits and pop R’s. This is a great opportunity to catch some trophy fish as well. Smallmouth will still be found near humps, shoals and rocky areas using the same lures. Crankbait could start producing some fish soon as well as the water cools down. Be mindful of safety as cool weather comes in.


Striped Bass
Striper fishing will be good this month and look for them in larger schools as they start to group up for fall. They will travel in smaller schools searching for feeding opportunities. This jigging in the 20-40ft range will produce fish throughout the day as well and larger fish will show up this month as well at times and may be in smaller schools. The upper end of the lake to mid lake is where most of the action will be this month. Some fish have been found on the surface feeding early mornings and late evenings on baitfish and can be fast and furious action. Look for fish in the mouths of the larger tributaries and large bays this month. Larger topwater plugs can be productive. Swing by Indian Point Marina they provide you with a great selection of what you need.


Crappie
Most of the Crappie have been in the 15-25 foot range.
