GREENVILLE, Miss. (June 18, 2018) – Local boater Terry Bates of Greenville weighed a 22-pound, 15-ounce limit of bass to win Saturday’s T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Mississippi Division tournament on Lake Ferguson. Bates pocketed $4,559 for his catch.

“I made a 40-minute run from takeoff to Lake Lee to fish humps,” said Bates, who earned his third career win in BFL competition. “I pulled up to one and caught three, but also lost a couple of good ones. There were a lot of gar in the area and they tore up my bait so I decided to leave.”

Bates said he used Watermelon Candy- and Black Ruby-colored Zoom Brush Hogs along with a Carolina-rigged 10-inch plum-colored Berkley Powerbait Power Worm. He also caught some fish with a ¾-ounce football-head jig with a Watermelon Candy Berkley Powerbait Chigger Craw trailer.

“I moved to another hump around 10 a.m. and caught two to finish my limit,” said Bates. “I kept moving and had five different areas to fish. I wasn’t able to cull so I went back to Lake Ferguson around 10:30 (a.m.).”

Bates’ winning limit was caught on 17-pound-test Berkley Trilene 100 percent Fluorocarbon Ice line on a 7-foot, 11-inch Fenwick Elite Tech Casting Rod and Abu Garcia Revo SX Generation 3 reel.

“On Ferguson I fished some gravel humps in 15 to 20 feet of water,” said Bates. “I got rid of a small 13-incher from Lee with a 2½-pounder. The last fish I caught was at 12:30 (p.m.) – a 6-pound, 9-ouncer.”

Bates’ final bass ended up being the largest fish of the event – caught with the Carolina-rigged Watermelon Candy Brush Hog.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Terry Bates, Greenville, Miss., five bass, 22-15, $4,559

2nd:         Jeff Johnston, Marion, Ark., five bass, 20-12, $2,005

3rd:          Tim McDaniel, Grenada, Miss., five bass, 19-3, $1,336

4th:          Heath Gilmore, Meridian, Miss., five bass, 18-11, $1,135

5th:          Marty Torrence, Crystal Springs, Miss., five bass, 18-4, $802

6th:          Chad Mayfield, Brandon, Miss., five bass, 17-13, $835

7th:          Percy Jones, Brandon, Miss., five bass, 17-10, $668

8th:          Joel Barber, Brandon, Miss., five bass, 16-14, $601

10th:        Brent Anderson, Kingston Springs, Tenn., five bass, 16-7, $444

The T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Mississippi Division tournament on Lake Ferguson was hosted by the Greenville/Washington County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 18-20 BFL Regional Championship on Kentucky and Barkley lakes in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.

Bassmaster Elite At Lake Oahe To Be Sponsored By Berkley And Abu Garcia

[print_link]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Berkley has signed on as title sponsor of the upcoming Bassmaster Elite Series tournament at South Dakota’s Lake Oahe, and sister company Abu Garcia has been named presenting sponsor, B.A.S.S. announced today.

The Berkley Bassmaster Elite at Lake Oahe presented by Abu Garcia will be held June 29-July 2 at Pierre, S.D. It is the seventh of nine regular-season events on the world’s premier professional bass fishing circuit. It will mark the first time for B.A.S.S. to hold a professional tournament on the fishery in the organization’s 50-year history.

Prowling the massive, 370,000-acre fishery for the heaviest four-day catch — worth $100,000 — will be 108 of the world’s best bass anglers. Oahe is known for its huge population of smallmouth bass, and it is ranked 20th in the Central Division of Bassmaster Magazine’s 100 Best Lakes list for 2018, which will be published in the July/August issue of the magazine.

“We’re extremely pleased that Berkley and Abu Garcia will be the title and presenting sponsors of the Bassmaster Elite at Lake Oahe,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “We expect this to be one of the most exciting tournaments of our entire season and we’re glad to have these two brands closely associated with it.”

Berkley and Abu Garcia are both premier sponsors of Bassmaster events. The two companies also were sponsors of the Berkley Bassmaster Elite at Kentucky Lake presented by Abu Garcia earlier this year.

“Abu Garcia and Berkley are thrilled to be title and presenting sponsors of the Bassmaster Elite event on Lake Oahe,” said Neil Eibeler, CEO of Pure Fishing. “We are always looking for ways to connect with passionate anglers, and our long and successful partnership with B.A.S.S. allows us that opportunity.”

Fishing action during the four-day event will be streamed live on Bassmaster LIVE on Bassmaster.com and ESPN3. In addition, the B.A.S.S. website will enable fans to follow the action by viewing the BASSTrakk leaderboard, reading the “Live Blog” and watching videos on Bassmaster.com. Additional coverage will be broadcast on the Bassmaster Radio network and published in the industry-leading magazines, Bassmaster and B.A.S.S. Times.

In addition to the prize purse, anglers will be competing for enough Angler of the Year points to qualify them for the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship and the 2019 Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.

Applications to serve as marshals for the event are currently being accepted. Visit Bassmaster.com for more information on how to apply.

Campbellsville’s Pillow Takes Co-angler Title

GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. (June 18, 2018) – Boater Brad McClure of Brentwood, Tennessee, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 23 pounds, 14 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) LBL Division tournament on Kentucky and Barkley lakes. For his efforts, McClure took home $4,963.

“I caught them on deep brush piles, 12 to 17 feet down,” said McClure, who earned his first career win in FLW competition. “I was on Lake Barkley, and used a plum-colored Zoom Ol’ Monster Worm.”

McClure said he caught 11 of his 12 keepers from a mid-lake area that contained several brush piles. He said one pile ended up producing three of his largest fish, and that he caught everything he weighed in between 8:30 and 9:10 a.m.

“I think finding the fish in that one spot with my Lowrance unit was key for me,” said McClure. “They were stacked because of the brush piles, stumps and baitfish. I put waypoints down for the individual brush piles and then used my MinnKota Ultrex Spot Lock feature to keep me stationary so I could make the same casts over and over to the piles.”

McClure said his worm was Texas-rigged with a 3/8-ounce Strike King Tour Grade tungsten weight on a 4/0 Bass Pro Shops XPS Round Bend Offset Hook and 15-pound-test Berkley Big Game line. He threw it on a 7-foot, 6-inch Abu Garcia Vendetta medium-heavy casting rod and Pflueger Supreme baitcasting reel.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Brad McClure, Brentwood, Tenn., five bass, 23-14, $4,963

2nd:         Cole Floyd, Leesburg, Ohio, five bass, 19-15, $2,181

3rd:          Chris Beaudrie, Princeton, Ky., five bass, 18-6, $1,422

4th:          Jordan Hartman, Murray, Ky., five bass, 17-8, $925

5th:          Larry Bailey, Paducah, Ky., five bass, 17-1, $793

6th:          Jim Eakin, Clarksville, Tenn., four bass, 16-13, $1,027

7th:          Nick Uebelhor, Jasper, Ind., five bass, 16-11, $660

8th:          Josh Malone, Alma, Ill., five bass, 15-10, $594

9th:          Stephen Barga, Benton, Ky., five bass, 15-6, $528

10th:        Tim Collier, Paducah, Ky., five bass, 15-3, $462

Complete results can be found at FLWFishing.com.

Arby Tevault of Elberfield, Indiana, brought a 6-pound, 5-ounce bass to the scale – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division – and earned the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $535.

10th:        Chuck Rounds, Benton, Ky., two bass, 8-2, $231

Richardson caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division weighing in at 6 pounds, 7 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $267.

The T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) LBL Division tournament on Kentucky and Barkley lakes was hosted by the Kentucky Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 25-27 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Chickamauga in Dayton, Tennessee.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (June 18, 2018) – Boater Kevin Brown of Hot Springs, Arkansas, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 19 pounds, 2 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Arkie Division tournament on Lake Dardanelle presented by GEARED. Brown earned $6,256 for his win.

Brown said he fished from the takeoff ramp to Shoal Bay, working through five or six key areas and catching around 30 keepers throughout the event.

“I fished shell drops and brush piles from 5 to 13 feet down,” said Brown, who earned his third career win in BFL competition. “I caught them on a Texas-rigged Yum Ribbon Tail worm in plum and red shad colors. I also used shad and chartreuse-colored medium- and deep-diving Bomber crankbaits.”

Brown said he was able to put a limit of fish in the boat by 10 a.m.

“Sometimes I went for an hour or two without a bite, so I just kept moving,” said Brown. “But overall, it was a fun day from start to finish.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Kevin Brown, Hot Springs, Ark., five bass, 19-2, $4,256 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Sawyer Grace, Russellville, Ark., five bass, 17-11, $1,978

3rd:          Dustin Huggins, Russellville, Ark., five bass, 17-2, $1,253

4th:          Josh Hilton, Clarksville, Ark., five bass, 15-13, $876

5th:          Fred Martin, North Little Rock, Ark., five bass, 15-11, $751

6th:          Cody Kemp, Donaldson, Ark., five bass, 15-8, $689

7th:          Chuck Hamby, Little Rock, Ark., five bass, 15-1, $1,116
