Late Rally Lifts Keeney, Moder To Bassmaster High School National Championship Win On Lake Hartwell

ANDERSON, S.C. — When Bryce Moder researched Lake Hartwell ahead of the Abu Garcia Bassmaster High School National Championship presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors on Lake Hartwell, he thought he and partner Reece Keeney would be fishing strictly for spotted bass in deep water.

Little did he know it would be the duo’s Wisconsin roots that would carry them to victory.

With a three-day total of 43 pounds, 1 ounce, the Northeast Wisconsin Bass Club anglers claimed the prestigious title, with each angler earning a $2,500 scholarship in the process. After placing 14th on the first day with 13-5, the now high school graduates took over the lead on Day 2 with a 16-12 sack before landing 13-0 the final day.

“All the hours in the boat have paid off,” said Keeney, a member of the 2022 Bassmaster High School All-State Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. “I can’t thank my dad enough for teaching me everything I know. To this day he sits in the bottom of the boat no matter the weather.”

“This is so special,” Moder added. “I just can’t be more thankful and I appreciate the good Lord. This is definitely a blessing. I never expected to come here and fish Wisconsin-style and catch largemouth. It was so rewarding. It is my favorite type of fishing.”

With the exception of one spotted bass on the first day, the Wolf River system natives brought all largemouth to the scales this week. Keeney and Moder picked apart about a mile of vertical clay bank that had brush, current and, most importantly, bait.

One particular section of that bank with an overhanging tree as the predominant cover produced their biggest bites each day, including a 5-pounder Friday afternoon and another 5-pounder with 20 minutes to go on Championship Saturday.

A white Brovarney Baits swim jig with a Zoom Speed Craw trailer carried them through the first two days while a Zoom Horny Toad lifted them to victory on Day 3

“The key to the week was there was bait in the area,” Keeney said. “The boat was sitting in 15 feet of water and we were throwing up to about 8 feet. Early in the week, the water was low so you could skip a swim jig up under the trees but the water came up so we switched to the Horny Toad. But I feel like there was so much bait and the fish kept reloading on those banks.”

The first two days of the tournament, Keeney and Moder got off to quick starts. But on Championship Saturday, the early-morning bite was nonexistent.

“It was superslow,” Keeney said. “We struggled all day. We probably didn’t get a limit until 12 o’clock. Then we just kept culling.”

Despite the slow start, Moder said they knew the bass were still there, they just had to keep their baits in the water.

“They would eat eventually,” Moder said. “We didn’t know if the current or sunlight was going to affect them, but it just panned out and we put our baits in the right spots.”

As he watched the topwater bite go down, the team’s boat captain Josh Keeney was amazed by what he was seeing.

“Watching those fish eat that Horny Toad, when the 5 and 6-pounders eat it, it is like throwing a bowling ball from a pine tree,” Josh said. “They get so aggressive and angry. It was fun to watch.”

Keeney began his first semester at Kentucky Christian University this week, missing the majority of practice to attend his first classes. As a member of the KCU fishing team, Keeney said he thinks this will give him a lot of momentum heading into the college ranks.

“It gives me a lot of confidence just knowing I can compete at the top level and win,” he said. “To go into college with an open mind and knowing I can compete is key.”

Moder has started his career as an operating engineer, but he is thankful for his time fishing the High School Series.

“This is my last tournament and I’m going out with a bang,” he said. “I never once dreamed of it. Going out with a National Championship is something else.”

Using a couple of their Lewis Smith Lake techniques, Brady Vest and Brody Hopper from Alabama’s Cullman High School finished second with 38-11. With bags of 13-13, 12-15 and 11-15, the duo claimed $2,000 in scholarships each.

“It was an amazing week,” Hopper said. “The second day hurt us, but it was a good week.”

On Day 1, Vest and Hopper found fish under the walkways and had a productive day throwing a shaky head. But as Day 2 progressed they discovered they would need another pattern to make the final day.

“The second day they weren’t under the walkways,” Vest said. “We had to find something else. We found a school of baitfish and started dropping on them and caught 12 pounds doing it.”

Fellow Alabama anglers Chris Fallon and Briar Dodson finished in third with 38-2 with bags of 13-0, 14-11 and 10-7.

“It means a whole lot to me to even make it here,” Dodson said. “I think Alabama is truly the hardest state to qualify in. Chris and I fished a state championship in 100-degree weather and we made it.”

The Gardendale High School anglers fished a railroad bridge all three days of the tournament that they discovered had quality bass holding in 4 to 8 feet of water during the last hour of practice. The presence of bluegill and bait fueled the bite and they were able to catch most of their bass using a Roboworm.

“We talked to a bunch of people at weigh-in and they mentioned the full moon had some of the bream spawning,” Dodson said. “There were several bream around the bridge.”

On the final day, they were forced to scramble and fish new water, catching a big one in the last hour to improve their bag.

Chase McCarter and Ty Trentham of Sevier County High School finished fourth and took home the $2,000 Hunter Owens Memorial Scholarship for Big Bag of the Tournament with their 17-15 Day 1 limit.

Along with a ninth-place finish, Destin Morales and Samuel Cobb Jr. from Livingston Parish High School claimed $200 in scholarships for the Big Bass of the Tournament, a 7-8 largemouth they caught on Day 1.

The tournament was hosted by Visit Anderson.

Largemouth Bass update:
Nothing has changed much here in the east with the Largemouth bite, the Roanoke has been the place for success in this heat. Frogging and flipping are your best bet for success! The big game in town is the running of the Bulls! The big Bull Reds are showing up in good numbers and I’m having good success on top water spooks and popping corks around large schools of bait. These fish will be getting greater in numbers as the month progresses. If you want to catch a fish of a lifetime and check it off your bucket list give me a call for one heck of a catch. 252-799-9536

Wisconsin Duo Takes Lead In Bassmaster High School National Championship At Lake Hartwell

[print_link]

ANDERSON, S.C. — Despite slinging an ear on their prop during their morning run, Reece Keeney and Bryce Moder from the Northeast Wisconsin Bass Club secured 16 pounds, 12 ounces on Day 2 of the Abu Garcia Bassmaster High School National Championship presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors on Lake Hartwell to jump into the lead with 30-1.

Adding to their 13-5 Day 1 performance, which put them in 14th place, Keeney and Moder hold more than a 2-pound advantage over the Gardendale High School team of Chris Fallon and Briar Dodson.

“It is a true dream come true. This is my senior year, so to be fishing the final day of the National Championship and have a shot to win, I couldn’t dream of anything else,” Keeney said.

As multitime Bassmaster Junior National Championship qualifiers, Keeney and Moder have gotten a taste of what being on the Bassmaster stage is like, and Moder said that has helped them stay positive.

“We just don’t get frustrated,” Moder said. “Any adversity, we just shun it and look forward to the next catch.”

It has been a week of adapting for the Wisconsin duo on Lake Hartwell. After finding a productive pattern in practice, Moder said conditions changed and they had to find a different way to catch them.

On Day 1, they were able to catch 12 bass. On Friday, they only got six or seven bites but their quality improved.

“Today was tougher fishing. We put our heads down and grinded the day out. We tried to forget about the adversity and focus on the fish,” Moder said. “We were able to find a pattern and stick to it, and that’s what we are going to stick with.”

As natives of the Wolf River system, one technique has traveled well with them to South Carolina. Keeney and Moder have been using a Brovarney Baits swim jig in 15 to 20 feet of water — and while they have been catching a mixture of spotted bass and largemouth, only largemouth have made up their five-fish limit each day.

“(The swim jig) hasn’t disappointed yet so hopefully it won’t disappoint tomorrow and we can go whack them,” Keeney said.

Despite a longer run due to the prop issue, Moder and Keeney went right to work when they reached their starting spot, catching a quality bass on their first or second cast. From there, the duo filled their limit around 11 a.m. and on the final cast of the day, they landed a 5-pounder to boost their bag.

“We have one main spot that seems to keep reloading with fish,” Keeney said. “We are going to run that tomorrow and give it our best.”

When the anglers launch for Championship Saturday, they plan to rely on their main area but have several other locations marked as backup that have been productive as well.

“It isn’t as good, not the same quality. But there are still fish on it,” Moder said.

After landing in 15th after Day 1 with 13-0, Fallon and Dodson caught 14-11 on Day 2 and jumped into second with a total of 27-11. On their third cast this morning, the Coosa River anglers landed a 4-pounder to get the day started and were able to find a consistent bite.

“Throughout the day we were culling by ounces,” Dodson said. “(Fallon) ended up catching a big one around lunchtime. It all came together today.”

Fallon entered practice wanting to flip bushes on Lake Hartwell. But with the water lower than normal, they had to pivot and didn’t find their pattern until the last day of practice. Although they lost a fish over 3 pounds on the first morning, they have found a consistent bite they can run throughout the lake with one bait.

“We have a pattern,” Fallon said. “It is something the fish are doing in every creek. They are getting on the first thing they can where the bait is at. We are just running around, and we have some big largemouth.”

He added that a particular spot has produced bigger than average bites.

Kasey Ferguson and Jakari Thomas from Ringgold Bassin in Virginia climbed to third place with 27-7, adding 12-5 to their 15-2 performance on Day 1. Ferguson said they were able to jumpstart their day with an early morning pattern before the sun got high.

“The job isn’t finished yet,” Thomas said. “We have to do what we have to do tomorrow.”

Once the sun came out, the bite slowed down and they had to find new water.

“It was hot. We had to find new stuff and luckily we found the right spots,” Ferguson said. “It’s a blessing to be where we are on a lake we’ve never fished before and doing somewhat decent.”

Destin Morales and Samuel Cobb Jr. from Livingston Parish High School remain on top for Big Bass of the Tournament with a 7-8 largemouth they caught on Day 1, while Ty Trentham and Chase McCarter from Sevier County High School hold Big Bag of the Tournament honors with their 17-15 sack from the first day.

The Top 12 teams will compete on Championship Saturday for the top prize of a $5,000 scholarship. Teams will launch at 6:20 a.m. ET from Green Pond Landing and Event Center and return for weigh-in at 2:20 p.m. Weigh-in will be streamed live on Bassmaster.com.

The tournament is being hosted by Visit Anderson.

HOBIE B.O.S. SPONSORED BY POWER-POLE TO TEST WISCONSIN’S WOLF AND FOX RIVERS

 

HOBIE B.O.S. SPONSORED BY POWER-POLE TO TEST WISCONSIN’S WOLF AND FOX RIVERS

Elite fleet of kayak anglers hope to cash-in while highlighting super largemouth and bronzeback potential of state’s longest rivers.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (August 12, 2022) – The 2022 Hobie Bass Open Series (B.O.S.) Anchored by Power-Pole heads for the Wolf and Fox Rivers in Appleton, Wisconsin, August 20 – 21, and the eighth event of the season promises yet another action-packed kayak fishing slugfest. Offering just about every feature a bass fan could want, from dams and hard structure to extensive weedlines, grass beds and blowdowns, this inviting pair of rivers flow in and out of the state’s most notable lakes and bays. A brand-new stop on the Hobie tour, competitors will be able to spread out across a huge swath of water and fish to their strengths for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

“When you have a schedule featuring as many big-name venues as the Hobie B.O.S. trail, it’s easy to overlook one that isn’t known as a bucket-list destination – but don’t let this one fool you,” says tournament director A.J. McWhorter. “These are two of the longest rivers in the state and they feed Wisconsin’s largest bodies of water! That means there’s going to be some great opportunities for our competitors to enjoy unlocking the mysteries of these storied fisheries while showcasing their bassing potential. I expect to see a lot of solid limits and quality largemouths and bronzebacks submitted to TourneyX during our two-day, catch, photograph and release (C.P.R.) event.”

Jeremiah Burish from La Crosse, Wisconsin, fully agrees. The 33-year-old serious kayak tournament angler has fished these waters before with solid results, including a recent second-place finish. “There’s a ton of bass in these rivers with plenty of quantity for largemouth and smallmouth up to 16 inches,” notes Burish. “Catching a solid limit shouldn’t be much of a problem, but it’s going to take more than that to win this event. You’re going to have to find a few of those big 18-inch fish to set yourself apart. With both species of bass abundant, you can mix it up or target whichever you prefer based on your own personal fishing strengths. Still, any way you slice it, I think you’ll need at least 85 inches a day to come away the winner.”

Burish notes that his most recent forays on these rivers found them running a little low, but still featuring a gentle flow. He points out, however, that there are significant differences between the two. For starters, he explains, the Fox River flows northward, which can take some getting used to if you haven’t fished here before, he cautions. “The upper (northern) section of the river flows in and around the city of Appleton and features several dams plus other manmade structure. The southern end of this river has more weeds and seems a little less manicured with a lot of grass and softer edges. The Wolf River, by comparison,” continues Burish, “snakes along with a lot of twists and turns, sand and rock, overhanging trees and deadfalls.” The lakes on this flow are shallow and smaller than on the Fox but still hold some high-quality fish, he adds.

With three Tournament of Champions (T.O.C.) qualifications going to the highest non-qualified finishers plus extremely valuable AFTCO Angler of the Year (AOY) points on the line, this event is also going to play a major role in deciding who will be fishing for the series’ ultimate championship on Caddo Lake, November 11-13, in Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana. The TOC is a three-day 50-angler championship with a $100,000 payout guarantee and $45,000 first-place prize.

Additionally, the Wolf and Fox River event will see Bassin’ Big Bass honors, and a $500 check, bestowed on the angler catching the largest bass over the course of the tourney. As always, cash payouts will go to the top 10% of the field and all competitors will have a chance to win a 2022 Hobie Outback in custom Orange and Black ‘BOS Camo’ color way, plus many prizes that will be randomly given away by event sponsors.

Anglers traveling to the Wolf and Fox River event can expect to be greeted with open arms by the local community, says Matt Ten Haken, Director of Sports Marketing for the Fox Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We are excited to welcome the anglers of the Hobie Bass Open Series,” he states. “Competitors will find our waterways to be among the best fisheries in the Midwest and they’ll surely provide a fun challenge. When not on the water, be sure to take advantage of the unique dining, shopping, and nightlife options for a complete Fox Cities weekend experience.”

With only Lake Dardanelle in Russellville, Arkansas, (September 17 and 18) remaining on the Hobie BOS schedule after the Fox and Wolf River event, the pressure is really mounting to see who will rise to the challenge and punch their ticket to the big show. Who will make their move now and who will have to sweat it out for one last chance in Arkansas? Like you, we can’t wait to find out.

Martin Family Embracing First Trip To Bassmaster High School National Championship

ANDERSON, S.C. — Bassmaster Elite Series pro Scott Martin has been antsy this week, and not just because he’s been thinking about the upcoming Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite Series event on Lake Oahe.

This week, he is the boat captain for his daughter Hilary and her fishing partner Rafe Sexton at the Abu Garcia Bassmaster High School Championship presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors on Lake Hartwell.

“How awesome is it for me to be able to enjoy this with my daughter? Her first year fishing, she qualified for the National Championship. It is a blessing,” Scott Martin said.

Representing Hendry County Bass Masters, Hilary and Sexton entered Day 2 in 31st after catching 11 pounds, 11 ounces. While that is below their personal expectations, Hilary Martin said that they can make a major move up the leaderboard.

“It is pretty tough,” Hilary said. “I haven’t met my expectations just yet, but hopefully tomorrow, if the sun peaks up a little, we might move into some shallower areas and hopefully get those big fish to bite. We are looking for a 17-pound bag tomorrow, and that would be awesome.”

As merely a boat driver and observer this week, the Florida pro has been anxiously watching the two young anglers’ every move. With his graphs turned on in the driver seat, he has been able to watch and see how many fish they are actually around.

“On a normal lake, you don’t know when a bite is going to happen. But here we are using the sonar and if we are shallow we can see them swimming,” Scott said. “They throw out on these schools of fish and I can see them on the graph swim up to the bait and (I get excited). This is my first year doing this. Before the first event, I thought I was going to be bored, taking a nap or on my phone, but I have watched every single cast and every rod movement. I critique them throughout the day and plant seeds on how to be effective. I love this.”

The fishing lineage of the Martin family has been well documented, from Roland Martin dominating the tournament scene in the 70s and 80s to Scott becoming one of the most dominant anglers in FLW history before joining the Elite Series in 2021.

Now it is Hilary’s turn.

She has spent plenty of time in the boat with her father while also establishing her presence on social media, YouTube and making appearances on The Scott Martin Challenge television show from time to time, but this year is the first year she has jumped into the tournament scene full time.

“Now that I’m fishing hardcore kind of like him, I have grown a new respect for how hard these fisherman work just to get one bite,” she said. “It can be really tough some days and especially in tournaments like this, it takes a lot of mental game and effort. I have a whole new respect for my grandpa and my dad fishing like this.”

Years of tournament experience are now being funneled to Hilary and she is soaking up as much as possible.

“It has been awesome. My dad has been fishing since he was my age. He knows a lot and retaining information like that is very valuable to me,” she explained. “We butt heads because we are related, but it is good to have him on the boat as my support system. He talks me through everything I’m doing. It is a great time.”

Sexton, meanwhile, has been fishing for several years through the Florida B.A.S.S. Nation in the youth division as well as the adult division. While they have known each other for a while, this is the first year Sexton and Hilary have fished together full time. After navigating the Florida Nation schedule, with up to 140 boats in each tournament, the duo finished fifth in the state championship event and qualified for the National Championship.

Through the Nation schedule, Sexton and Hilary agree that they have been able to improve their offshore game.

“I’m a shallow water guy. Growing up on Okeechobee, I throw a popping frog a lot,” Sexton said. “Through the B.A.S.S. Nation, I have adapted my offshore game. When we travel to lakes like the Harris Chain or Seminole, we have to expand on more than our shallow water game. It has sharpened my edges and especially coming to Nationals, you get to see different angles and see how to fish different fisheries.”

This year has been largely about getting comfortable in a tournament setting and finding consistency, but going into both Hilary and Sexton’s senior year, the focus will shift slightly.

“Not to say we haven’t tried to win a tournament, but we really wanted to be consistent. It’s a process,” Scott said. “Next year we will push a lot harder to try and pull off a victory. We came close a few times this year.”

Regardless of how this National Championship turns out, Scott has been impressed with the caliber of angler that they are competing against this week.

“We fished the entire B.A.S.S. Nation in Florida and now to see 300 boats here,” Scott said. “They are the cream of the crop of high school anglers. They are all professional and well-spoken. Bassmaster is breeding up a world-class group of anglers. It is so encouraging. When I was growing up, we didn’t have these opportunities. I’m really proud to see what B.A.S.S. is doing and I’m proud of the parents supporting their kids in this.”

The Top 12 teams after Friday’s weigh-in will advance to Championship Saturday.

The tournament is being hosted by Visit Anderson.

Vermont’s Bryan Labelle Wins Toyota Series at Lake Champlain Presented by Boat Logix

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (Aug. 12, 2022) – Pro Bryan Labelle of Hinesburg, Vermont, brought five bass to the stage Saturday weighing 21 pounds, 10 ounces to win the Toyota Series Presented by A.R.E. at Lake Champlain Presented by Boat Logix and earn the top payout of $86,500. Labelle’s three-day total of 15 bass weighing 61-11 earned him the victory by a narrow 2-ounce margin over second place pro Kyle Hall of Granbury, Texas, who finished first at the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit event on Lake Champlain last week.

The three-day event, hosted by the City of Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau, was the second event of the season for the Toyota Series Northern Division.

“It’s awesome, undoubtedly,” an excited Labelle said after earning the win. “I didn’t expect it. I didn’t think I was on that caliber of fish in practice, but it worked out.”

While others have made headlines with smallmouth in recent years, Labelle never hesitated on his plan for the week, going for a classic Champlain mixed bag every day.

Day 1 saw him bring four largemouth to the scale. Day 2, he brought just one, and on the final day, three green ones made the cut.

Of course, his start to Day 2 would be the envy of any smallmouth specialist on the lake.

“I had 20 pounds, 1 ounce in 25 minutes on Day 2, and I said ‘I gotta go largemouth fishing,’” Labelle said. “So I did, but I only upgraded a little bit.

“I’m new to the forward-facing sonar. I’m a knucklehead when it comes to it,” he joked. “Learning it, it’s easier than what I thought. I guess I didn’t understand it. I was seeing a few fish, but I wasn’t seeing what these guys are. But on Day 2, I understood it very well. It was unbelievable, and undoubtedly it helped the win.”

Still, Labelle put quality largemouth in play every day, and he did it mostly in grass and on deeper rock, not the docks Champlain is so known for.

“The largemouth are not that good this year, they’re really not,” he shared. “I had a couple deals in Missisquoi early that I got some real big fish on, but that dried up and it became very tough. I thought it was going to be a good largemouth year, but I think it’s gone downhill. Forward-facing sonar I think is going to take some pressure off them, and that’ll be a good thing.

“I tried some docks. I tried to mix in a few, but they’re just not on the docks good. I’ve got some rocks a little bit deeper that really helped, and grass. The grass really wasn’t all that good. I didn’t get a lot of big bites – I feel like I got lucky with the fish I caught.”

For baits, Labelle said he caught fish on his trusty ½-ounce Dirty Jigs Scott Canterbury Flippin’ Jig, plus a drop-shot with either a Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Flatnose Minnow in white or a perch-colored Jackall Crosstail Shad.

Sevier County Takes Lead In Bassmaster High School National Championship On Lake Hartwell

Sevier County Takes Lead In Bassmaster High School National Championship On Lake Hartwell

[print_link]

ANDERSON, S.C. — Ty Trentham and Chase McCarter recovered from a slow start to catch 17 pounds, 15 ounces to take the lead on Day 1 of the Abu Garcia Bassmaster High School National Championship presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors on Lake Hartwell.

The Sevier County High School juniors hold a 2-ounce lead on Livingston Parish High School anglers Destin Morales and Samuel Cobb Jr.

“It was consistent all day,” Trentham said. “They bit a little better in the morning, but it was a grind really. We didn’t fish the cleanest. We missed a few and lost a few. We were kind of down at first, but after we caught a few good ones it got us up.”

While this is their first tournament at Lake Hartwell, the east Tennessee natives said the diverse fisheries in their home region prepared them well.

“Tennessee has a lot of different types of lakes,” McCarter said. “You have the Tennessee River, you have highland reservoirs, smallmouth, spotted bass — all of it.”

While Lake Hartwell has become known as a great spotted bass fishery, the Tennessee anglers filled their limit with all largemouth. The morning got off to a frustrating start, but Trentham and McCarter completed their limit around lunchtime before making several key culls.

During practice, the duo got bites but weren’t exactly sure what they had in their areas before the tournament started. They landed the majority of their bag in one main stretch while a different section produced a key big bite.

They rotated through several baits, and McCarter acknowledged the bite they have going is a “home run” type of pattern.

“You’ve got to hope for the best,” he said. “We just tried to get another bite. We would go back through our area and we might leave if we think it (isn’t working). We were just experimenting in one of the areas where we caught a big one, and we may have to experiment more tomorrow. You can’t make a mistake when we are getting as many bites as we are getting.”

As Louisiana River rats, Morales and Cobb Jr. weren’t sure what to expect. That didn’t stop them from catching 17-13 on Day 1 and landing a 7-8 behemoth largemouth to take the lead for Big Bass of the Tournament.

“We didn’t expect there to be any fish that big in here,” Cobb Jr. said. “Much less me catching it. I was really excited, and I was shaking for a while afterward.”

“I was like a kid in the candy shop,” Morales added. “It jumped and it looked like a whole dolphin coming out of the water.”

Morales and Cobb Jr. brought in all largemouth, but they reported catching several spotted bass as well.  Morales described their strategy as “junk fishing,” and they have a milk run of about 12 to 15 areas.

Several different types of cover have produced for them.

“First thing this morning it was slow, and then toward the middle of the day it got better. It’s been like that all week,” Morales said. “I didn’t think we were going to do this well today. But then Samuel hooked that kicker and that helped us out a lot.”

Illinois anglers Hunter and Blake Beckmann from Breese Central High School landed in third with 16-3, all largemouth. After losing a big fish in the morning, they filled their limit around midmorning and anchored their bag with a 5-10 largemouth.

They used a rotation of baits, but they are using one specific technique they use on their home fishery of Lake Carlyle to get familiar with Lake Hartwell.

“Today went better than we expected,” Blake said. “Tuesday, we had roughly 12 pounds, and Wednesday we had about 9 pounds. Today we were blown (away). We didn’t think we had this much weight.”

The full field will launch from Green Pond Landing and Event Center at 6:20 a.m. ET on Day 2 and return for weigh-in beginning at 2:20 p.m. The Top 12 teams after Friday’s weigh-in will advance to Championship Saturday.

The tournament is being hosted by Visit Anderson.

Dustin Connell Claims Third Career Victory at MLF Bass Pro Tour Fox Rent A Car Stage Six at Cayuga Lake Presented by Googan Baits

Googan Baits Pro Catches 25 Scorable Bass Weighing 96-12 to Win Third Career Title – Second in 2022 – and Earn Top Payout of $100,000

UNION SPRINGS, N.Y. (Aug. 11, 2022) – In a week where largemouth bass made up more than 80-percent of all of the fish caught on and weighed by the 80 anglers that competed in the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour on Cayuga Lake, Googan Baits pro Dustin Connell, stuck with smallmouth and bested them all. The Clanton, Alabama pro caught 25 scorable smallmouth bass weighing 96 pounds, 12 ounces, to win the Bass Pro Tour Fox Rent A Car Stage Six on Cayuga Lake Presented by Googan Baits in Union Springs, New York on Thursday. The victory was the third Bass Pro Tour win of Connell’s career – second of the season – and earned him the top payout of $100,000.

“I am shook up. This is unbelievable,” an emotional Connell said in his post-game interview. “I worked so hard for this tournament man. I sat out here and battled these waves, every day, and I practiced so hard, from daylight to dark. It’s so special to win two in one year. This is just nuts.

“I’d only been here once before – I came here a couple of years ago for an MLF Cup event on Cayuga,” Connell continued. “I only caught two bass, all day long. And now we’re holding the trophy up. And to win it with smallmouth – this is unreal.”

Connell spent the tournament drop-shotting a variety of baits, using his Lowrance ActiveTarget forward-facing sonar to follow the roaming schools of smallmouth.

“I caught all of my fish this week on a spinning rod. I had seven or eight of them tied up every day,” Connell said. “I was using 12-pound Gold Label Seaguar (fluorocarbon), and a variety of different baits. I was using a (Googan) Drag N Drop in green-pumpkin. I caught a bunch of key fish on it around all of the structure. For the suspended fish, I caught them on a shad bait. Just following them around. They love to roam during the summer and that’s the best way to catch them.”

The victory tied Connell with Tennessee pro Ott DeFoe for second-most career wins on the Bass Pro Tour all-time list with three. Academy Sports + Outdoors pro Jacob Wheeler, who finished runner-up to Connell this week, has the most Bass Pro Tour wins with five.

“I look at guys like Jacob and Ott, and to even be mentioned in the same conversation with them, as that type of fisherman… my gosh,” Connell said. “I’m just a kid out here, living his dream. I am so blessed to get this win.”

Brookeland, Texas pro Dakota Ebare earned Thursday’s Championship Round $1,000 Berkley Big Bass award, and the $3,000 Berkley Big Bass award for the overall largest bass of the event, with a massive 7-pound, 10-ounce smallmouth that bit a Strike King Baby Z-Too during Period 1. Ebare’s giant smallmouth was just 10 ounces shy of the New York state record that was set on Cayuga Lake in late June.
