In second place for the boaters Bobby Tadlock of Clinton, TN weighed in a five bass limit weighing 12.26 pounds. His limit was anchored by a bass weighing 4.22 pounds.

“I was all over the place,” said Tadlock. “I was fishing anywhere from 5 to 20 feet. I’d run in and catch some on topwater then move out catching them on a 6XD and a Carolina rig. Thanks to Mercury motors, Ranger boats and Carlise tires.”

Taking third for the boaters Jeff Knight of Cleveland, TN weighed in a five bass limit weighing 12.01 pounds. His limit was anchored by a bass weighing 4.32 pounds which was the largest bass weighed in by a boater. Knight took home $720.00 for the effort.

“I flipped shallow all day,” said Knight. “I was flipping and kicking up mud with my trolling motor and I flipped in and saw the mud boil and I caught my biggest fish.”

In fourth place for the boaters Eddie Ball of Newport TN, weighed in a five bass limit weighing 11.04 pounds. Rounding out the top five, Brian Hatfield of Spring City, TN weighed in five bass for 10.21 pounds.

“I was flipping a jig in 4-8 foot,” said Yocum. “There was just no size to the fish I was catching. I caught my big fish in the last 30 minutes.”

In second place for the co-anglers Jerry Neuner of Rutherfordton, NC weighed in three bass for 6.91 pounds. His limit was anchored by a bass weighing 3.83 pounds.

FLW TOUR BRINGS WORLD’S TOP BASS ANGLERS TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN FOR 2019 SEASON FINALE

FLW TOUR BRINGS WORLD’S TOP BASS ANGLERS TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN FOR 2019 SEASON FINALE

$125,000 Top Prize and Final FLW Cup Berths Up for Grabs at Final Event of FLW Tour Season, Angler of the Year (AOY) and Polaris Rookie of the Year (ROY) Titles To Also Be Decided

 

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (June 13, 2019) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, will visit Plattsburgh, June 27-30, for the FLW Tour at Lake Champlain presented by T-H Marine – the seventh and final event of the 2019 FLW Tour regular season. The four-day tournament, hosted by the City of Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau, will feature 168 of the world’s best bass anglers competing for a cash prize of up to $125,000 along with a free outdoor expo and a kid’s fishing derby.

Lake Champlain has long been a staple on FLW’s tournament schedule. With more than 50 visits across multiple FLW circuits since 1994, the northern fishery has solidified its reputation as a top bass-fishing destination and continues to kick out notable weights year after year. When the FLW Tour last visited in 2016, Tour stalwart Scott Martin of Clewiston, Florida, finished on top with a four-day total of 74 pounds, 10 ounces.

“The lake should fish well for us. If the weather is nice, I would expect the winning weight to be in the 73- to 75-pound range [in four-days]. I wouldn’t be shocked if it took even more, though,” said Lowrance pro Austin Felix of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, who has two top-10 finishes on Lake Champlain in FLW competition. “The only problem is that the lake is a lot higher and a bit dirtier than we’re used to, so it’s going to make sight-fishing a lot more difficult. But at the same time, the high water should make the largemouth fishing a lot better.

“I think we’ll see both species (largemouth and smallmouth bass) in all three phases of the spawn,” continued Felix. “Down by Ticonderoga they might be a little more postspawn, but there’ll definitely be largemouth up north that haven’t spawned yet.”

Felix said that with the largemouth bite being more of a factor than in years past, the Ticonderoga and Missisquoi areas could be especially productive for anglers.

“The usual areas like the Inland Sea and around Burlington will be in play. The middle, wider part of the lake tends to warm up slower so those fish should be a little bit bigger,” said Felix. “There’s so many bass in that lake. Everybody is going to catch fish – it’s just going to come down to finding the ones that are a bit bigger than the rest.”

For anglers targeting largemouth, Felix said a ChatterBait and a flipping bait would be a good bet, while a jerkbait, a Keitech swimbait and a Ned rig would work well for smallmouth. The Minnesota pro added that a drop-shot rig will be a good choice for both species.

Anglers will take off at 6:30 a.m. EST each day from the Plattsburgh City Marina, located at 5 Dock St., in Plattsburgh. Thursday and Friday’s weigh-ins, June 27-28, will be held at the marina beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, June 29-30, will also be held at the marina, but will begin at 4 p.m.

Prior to weigh-in each day, FLW will host a free Family Fishing Expo at the Plattsburgh City Marina from 2 to 6 p.m. The Expo is a chance for fishing fans to meet their favorite anglers, enjoy interactive games, activities and giveaways provided by FLW sponsors, as well as learn more about the sport of fishing and other outdoor activities.

Also for youth, the FLW Foundation’s Unified Fishing Derby will be held at Wilcox Dock, located at 90 Cumberland Ave., in Plattsburgh, on Saturday, June 29, from Noon-2 p.m. The event is hosted by FLW Foundation pro Cody Kelley along with other FLW Tour anglers, and is free and open to anyone under the age of 18 and Special Olympics athletes. Rods and reels are available for use, but youth are encouraged to bring their own if they own one. The 1st and 2nd place anglers that catch the most fish will be recognized Saturday on the FLW Tour stage, just prior to the pros weighing in.

As part of the FLW Tour’s community outreach initiative, FLW Tour anglers will visit patients, guests and staff at the Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, located at 75 Beekman St., in Plattsburgh on Wednesday, June 26, from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. During their visit, anglers will interact with guests, snap photos and sign autographs for patients, as well as give away some goodie bags and share fishing stories.

Television coverage of the FLW Tour at Lake Champlain presented by T-H Marine will premiere in 2019. The exact air-date will be announced soon. The Emmy-nominated “FLW” television show airs each Saturday night at 7 p.m. EST and is broadcast to more than 63 million cable, satellite and telecommunications households in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean on the World Fishing Network (WFN), the leading entertainment destination and digital resource for anglers throughout North America. FLW television is also distributed internationally to FLW partner countries, including Canada, China, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and South Africa.

The popular FLW Live on-the-water program will air on Days Three and Four of the event, featuring live action from the boats of the tournament’s top pros each day. Host Travis Moran will be joined by veteran FLW Tour pro Todd Hollowell to break down the extended action each day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On-the-water broadcasts will be live streamed on FLWFishing.com, the FLW YouTube channel and the FLW Facebook page.

In FLW Tour competition, the full field of 168 pro anglers compete in the two-day opening round on Thursday and Friday. The top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.

Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2019 FLW Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2019 FLW Cup will be on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 9-11 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.

Rising Freshmen Win Bassmaster High School Wildcard Tournament

[print_link]

JAMESTOWN, Ky. — Fourteen-year-olds Andon Goins and Blake Wheat started the year fishing the Junior Bassmaster tournaments, but the Tennessee youths “graduated” to the high school series today — and won the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Wild Card presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors by almost 4 pounds.

The 18-pound, 3-ounce limit of bass that put Goins and Wheat on top included a tournament big bass weighing 6 pounds, 3 ounces that fell for a Heddon Zara Spook.

The Rhea County Eagle Anglers team qualified for the event because rules allow incoming freshmen to compete with the team during the summer before they start high school, said Hank Weldon, senior manager of Bassmaster youth events.

Goins and Wheat put together a pattern focused on schooling bass during practice for the event, and they fished in and around two marinas during competition.

“We caught them in 50 to 70 feet of water,” Wheat said.

They worked the Spooks in tandem with flutter spoons to put together their catch. While their boat was over deep water, their bites came from bass holding about 6 feet below the surface.

“In the mornings, bass were active — they were blowing up — and then throughout the day we keyed in on the spoon and started catching them suspended,” Wheat said.

The lunker came in the same deep water, right off a dock. Wheat said he had just lost a 4-pounder in a dock slip, and something caught his eye swimming near the dock.

“I saw this black mark (in the water),” he said. “I just pitched to it, and I saw it turn, and it blew up on my Spook.

“I thought it had to be at least a decent fish because it was a big blow-up, and I told him to get the net.”

But neither angler paid much attention to the actual size of the bass until it was in the livewell.

“I really didn’t look at it until later, when our captain picked it up and said, ‘How big do you think this is?’” Wheat explained. “I realized it was way bigger than I thought.”

The victory qualifies the team for the Bassmaster High School Championship to be held on Kentucky Lake Aug. 8-10.

Joining them at the national event will be teams earning second through 11th places, including Asa Robertson and Matthew Vandagriff of Warren County High School, Tenn., who took second with 14-6; Kyle Workman and Pruitt Lansdale of Montgomery County High School, Ky., third with 14-5; Mackenzie Tabor and Brady Mcguire, also of Montgomery County High School, fourth with 13-14; and Drake Hemby and Gavin Totherow of Whitwell High School, Tenn., fifth with 13-6.

B.A.S.S. Partners With Big Bass Junior Championship

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In an effort to inspire more youth involvement in bass fishing, B.A.S.S. has signed on as presenting sponsor of Bassin’s 2019 Big Bass Junior Championship (BBJC).

“One of our most important missions is to inspire young adults to participate in the sport we love. The BBJC program removes barriers kids may face when looking for an entry point in competitive bass fishing, and B.A.S.S. not only wholly supports this effort, but wants to further the reach,” said Chase Anderson, B.A.S.S. Chairman. “We are thrilled to partner with Bill Siemantel and the BBJC to help get more young adults fishing.”

The BBJC is an online, big bass tournament that began on Jan. 1, 2019, and will conclude on Aug. 15, 2019. To participate, anglers between the ages of 14 and 25 simply register online (bigbassjuniorchampionship.com), pay a $25 entry fee and select the state or states in which they will be fishing. There are no restrictions on gear or where an angler can fish. Once a bass is caught, the angler takes a photo of the fish on an official ruler (both length and girth) and submits the catch online. The angler who catches the biggest fish in his or her state will qualify for a championship event to be held Oct. 19 at Angler’s Inn Idaho. More than $56,000 in prizes, including a new Bass Cat Margay powered by a Mercury ProXS outboard, MotorGuide trolling motor and Lowrance electronics, will be awarded.

“I really want to do something that makes a difference,” said BBJC coordinator Bill Siemantel. “I have caught many double-digit fish and know how just one bite can change your life. If we can inspire the current generation of kids to get out there and experience that one bite, they will be hooked for life.”

Big Bass. Big Stage. Big Dreams. This mantra, which has become the tagline for Bassmaster competition, perfectly fits with the ideology of the BBJC. “I am so proud of the B.A.S.S. partnership,” Siemantel said. “After all, B.A.S.S. started it all. And when kids submit their big bass, they may make it to the big stage in Idaho and realize even bigger dreams than they imagined. This partnership between B.A.S.S. and Bassin’ shows the passion of both companies to work toward a very bright future for our sport.”

Brad Uhl, owner of Bassin’, agrees. “We are so excited to have B.A.S.S. present the Big Bass Junior Championship to all high school and college anglers throughout the U.S. This is a wonderful opportunity for two organizations to come together for the grass-roots anglers getting started, as well as to the more advanced anglers already participating in competitive bass fishing. Working together to inspire kids to start fishing is what we all should be striving for.”
