Louisiana Claims Team Title In B.A.S.S. Nation Regional Bass Championship
The Louisiana B.A.S.S. Nation wins the team competition Thursday with 379 pounds, 2 ounces at the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional presented by Magellan Outdoors on Toledo Bend Reservoir. Bob Blumenstein of Illinois is leading the individual competition with a two-day total weight of 42-11.
MANY, La. — The Louisiana B.A.S.S. Nation team defended its home water in grand fashion today in the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional presented by Magellan Outdoors.
The Bayou State squad, which is composed of 10 boaters and 10 nonboaters, caught 135 bass over two days for a cumulative weight of 379 pounds, 2 ounces. That was more than 11 pounds heavier than Team Arkansas, which actually caught more weight than Louisiana today, but finished second overall with 135 bass for 367-13.
Making the victory event sweeter for the home team is that the team championship came on Toledo Bend Reservoir — one of the most hallowed bass fisheries in the U.S. The majority of Team Louisiana’s anglers hail from south Louisiana, however, so while they are familiar with Toledo Bend, they don’t fish it every day like they do the bass fisheries south of Interstate 10.
“To come here and compete with the competition that was here this week in this event is a feat,” said Louisiana B.A.S.S. Nation President Kevin Gaubert, who fished as a nonboater in the regional.
“When you get to this level, it’s all the top anglers in your state. You come here and do your best, put your time in and hope everything works out in your favor. It did today. I think this is our fifth or six team win in B.A.S.S. Nation.”
The team won a Triton/Mercury boat/motor package valued at $40,000 with the win. Gaubert said a Nation member is interested in purchasing it, and the money they gain will go to good use in helping stage tournaments throughout the state.
Next up is the individual competition in the Central Regional. Nine Louisiana anglers will move to the next round, which includes the top three boaters and nonboaters from each state, as well as the leading 38 anglers on the money line.
In all, 62 boats with 124 anglers will fish Friday for individual state honors, cash prizes and a chance to represent their team in the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship to be held later this year on an undisclosed date and fishery.
David Cavell leads Team Louisiana through two days with 10 bass weighing 31 pounds, 10 ounces. The Prairieville resident is in 11th place overall.
“This means a lot,” Cavell said. “You have two or three of us who are right on top of each other. If you lose a fish, you can get trumped by the other guy. This lake can make you or break you. You get a sizable bass, like a 10- or 11-pounder, and that changes everything.”
Others representing Team Louisiana in the boater division include fellow Prairieville resident Jamie Laiche, 15th with 30-6, and Jeremy Anthony of Loranger, 26th with 28-14.
Charlie Hewitt, yet another Prairieville resident, leads the overall nonboater field with a two-day total of six bass weighing 26-7. Hewitt was disappointed on Thursday after catching three bass that weighed 8-6. That bag followed his incredible haul of 18-1 on Wednesday.
Still, he’s happy to be fishing for individual honors on Friday after helping his team to a championship.
“I went to the same area today I did on Wednesday, and I struggled,” Hewitt said. “I was scared about getting knocked out of first place. But it’s worked out so far — I’m at the mercy of my boater tomorrow, but I’d really like to be around grass. That’s key to my bite.”
Other nonboaters fishing for Team Louisiana on Friday will include Todd Newchurch, third with 21-15; Brian Murphy, 23rd with 15-15; Michael Nobile, 27th with 15-3; Justin Hebert, 28th with 15-3; and Kevin Simon, 31st with 14-14.
Nobile is also in the lead for the big bass award of $250 on the nonboater side with an 8-15 he caught Wednesday.
Bob Blumenstein of the Illinois B.A.S.S. Nation leads the boater field with a two-day haul of 10 bass weighing 42-11. The Bolingbrook resident caught the heaviest limit of the tournament so far with a 25-13 sack today.
“I was fortunate enough to find a spot, but I couldn’t get to it yesterday with the wind,” he said. “If I can get there tomorrow like I was able to today, it could be interesting.”
Blumenstein said averaging 5 pounds per bass was an incredible experience.
“I’m not used to catching fish like that,” he said. “You think ‘Toledo Bend’ and ‘I’m going to go down there and whack ‘em.’ Well, today I whacked them, and it felt good.”
Team Indiana boater Chris Myers whacked the bass, too, today, as evidenced by the 11-6 lunker he weighed to the roar of the crowd — it is in the lead for the $500 big bass award. It was the heaviest bass in his 37 years of bass fishing and his 23-5 limit also was the heaviest he’s caught. He led Team Indiana in the standings and is in 10th place with 32-4.
“This was the day of a lifetime,” Myers said.
The third and final day of the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional presented by Magellan Outdoors will begin at 6:15 a.m. CT. Weigh-in is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. at Cypress Bend Park.

Oklahoma’s Hallman Grabs Lead on Day One of FLW Tour at Lake Lanier
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (March 8, 2018) – Pro Bradley Hallman of Norman, Oklahoma, weighed a 23-pound, 11-ounce limit of spotted bass to take the lead on Day One of the FLW Tour at Lake Lanier presented by Ranger Boats. Hallman will bring a 3-pound, 6-ounce lead into Day Two of the four day event that features a field of 184 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals and co-anglers competing for top awards of up to $125,000 cash in the pro division and up to $25,000 cash in the co-angler division.
“It was an incredible day,” said Hallman, who is fishing in his fourth season on the FLW Tour. “To catch five spots that weigh 23 pounds – that’s a dream come true. That’s a bag that I’ll never catch again for the rest of my life.”
Hallman said that he caught his fish “playing the herring game”, fishing at least 45 different places from Brown’s Bridge all the way down to the Buford Dam.
“I only caught 9 or 10 fish today – there were not that many bites,” Hallman said. “I’ve been doing this long enough that I’m starting to understand the blueback herring deal. I know they move a lot – one hour they’re out on the top of the point, the next hour they could be out on the end of the point, the next hour they’re gone. I’m just trying to stay open minded. I don’t have any secret spots or anything like that.”
Hallman said that he caught his big limit of spots on three different baits.
“I had quite a bit going today, I got bit anywhere from 5 feet out to 24 feet. It was just one of those days where I couldn’t do anything wrong and everything went right.”
The top 10 pros after day one on Lake Lanier are:
1st: Bradley Hallman, Norman, Okla., five bass, 23-11
2nd: Tim Cales, Sandstone, W. Va., five bass, 20-5
3rd: Jason Meninger, Saint Augustine, Fla., five bass, 19-5
4th: Randy Haynes, Counce, Tenn., five bass, 19-3
5th: Bryan Schmitt, Deale, Md., five bass, 18-13
6th: Sheldon Collings, Grove, Okla., five bass, 18-12
7th: David Williams, Maiden, N.C., five bass, 18-7
7th: Jason Reyes, Huffman, Texas, five bass, 18-7
9th: Jason Johnson, Dawsonville, Ga., five bass, 18-4
10th: Jeff Gustafson, Keewatin, Ontario, Canada, five bass, 17-12
10th: Rob Kilby, Hot Springs, Ark., five bass, 17-12

Cales earned the day’s $500 Simms Big Bass award in the pro division thanks to a 7-pound largemouth bass.
Overall there were 846 bass weighing 2,179 pounds, 2 ounces caught by 183 pros Thursday. The catch included 146 five-bass limits.
Pro Yusuke Miyazaki of Forney, Texas, was assessed a 2-pound penalty on Day One of the tournament after he was found to be in violation of FLW Tour Rule No. 9 on Tuesday during his practice period. The rule states that safe boating must be observed at all times, and the provisions of this rule apply during practice and from boat check until weigh-in each day of the tournament.
Joe Anders of Easley, South Carolina, leads the co-angler division with five bass weighing 17 pounds, 6 ounces, followed by Brad Wiley of Alto, Georgia, who weighed five bass totaling 15-9, good for second place.
The top 10 co-anglers after day one on Lake Lanier are:
1st: Joe Anders, Easley, S.C., five bass, 17-6
2nd: Brad Wiley, Alto, Ga., five bass, 15-9
3rd: Chad Smith, Minnetonka, Minn., five bass, 14-13
4th: Joe Eubanks, Marietta, Ga., five bass, 13-1
5th: Douglas Colson, Cadiz, Ky., five bass, 12-14
6th: Rex Jaeger, Hamilton, Ohio, five bass, 12-14
7th: Keith Bridges, Mission Viejo, Calif., five bass, 12-11
8th: James Littich, Davidson, N.C., five bass, 12-10
9th: Hiroyuki Watanabe, Shizuoka, Honshu, Japan, five bass, 12-8
10th: Reid Daniel, Gainesville, Ga., five bass, 12-7
Mark Horton of Nicholasville, Kentucky, earned $250 for the Simms Big Bass award in the co-angler division with a 5-pound, 6-ounce bass.
Overall there were 532 bass weighing 1,182 pounds caught by 165 co-anglers Thursday. The catch included 51 five-bass limits.
In FLW Tour competition, pros and co-anglers are randomly paired each day, with pros supplying the boat, controlling boat movement and competing against other pros. Co-anglers fish from the back deck against other co-anglers. The full field of 368 anglers competes in the two-day opening round. Co-angler competition concludes following Friday’s weigh-in, while 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.
The total purse for the FLW Tour at Lake Lanier presented by Ranger Boats is more than $930,000, including $10,000 through 60th place in the Pro division. The tournament is hosted by the Gainesville Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2018 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 10-12 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.

Raymarine Axiom Chalks Up Another Bassmaster Open Win
Hot on the heels of Bobby Lane’s Bassmaster Eastern Open win, Stephen Browning wins Bassmaster Central Open with help from Raymarine Axiom
Ridgeland, MS (March 7, 2018): Just last month, Raymarine pro Bobby Lane went wire-to-wire at the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Eastern Open on Florida’s Kissimmee Chain. After years of finishing near the top but never first on his hometown waters, it was a very significant win.
A similar story played out this past weekend on Mississippi’s Ross Barnett Reservoir, where Arkansas-based Raymarine pro Stephen Browning took top honors at the 2018 Bassmaster Central Open after finishing second on Ross Barnett in 2013 and fifth in 2015.
The other commonality between the two wins can be found at the console and bow of each pro’s boat—Raymarine Axiom Pro multifunction navigation displays.
On Kissimmee, Lane credited Axiom Pro’s excellent high-speed sonar performance for helping him locate hurricane-rearranged hydrilla at boat speeds up to 65 mph. Once located, he’d quickly jump to bow, keeping grass lines in view on his bow Axiom Pro 12.
“The clarity and speed of Axiom is absolutely amazing. If it looks like there’s a fish there, it’s a fish. The CHIRP Sonar, DownVision, SideVision, RealVision 3D, and how fast the mapping responds is just amazing,” said Lane.
Similarly, Arkansas-based bass pro Stephen Browning attributed much of his recent Ross Barnett Reservoir win to his electronics. “My Raymarine Axiom units really helped me hone in the right areas,” said Browning. “In my chart view, I had the tracking system on to make precise runs to and from the areas I fished, which were largely shallow three- to four-foot flats—either stump fields or eel grass edges.”
“During Monday morning practice I idled two miles or more with the intention of finding fish-holding stumps, also marking them for quick and safe navigation. Every time I found one, I would drop a waypoint on my Axiom Pro’s Navionics Platinum+ map and then idle around the stump in a tight circle to make sure that was the only stump there. Then, once I found a good route that I could take, I could save a good 15 minutes a day by not having to idle through these areas.”
Browning has discovered Raymarine RealVision 3D a great way to survey water quickly for cover and fish.
Browning also credits Raymarine’s SideVision technology for helping him locate fish-holding grass edges.
“During Tuesday’s practice I spent a lot of time looking for and marking grass edges with my SideVision. Then I would back out and look closely at my SideVision screen for any kind of grass edge irregularities. I’m always amazed with what Raymarine can do in the shallow zone. I can see all the little details that often set you apart from other anglers. That translates to 100% confidence in my electronics.”
Browning’s experience with Raymarine SideVision goes back 2015, the year he finished fifth at the same BASS Central Open.
“When I fished Barnett in 2015, I learned to dial back the SideVision range on my Raymarine eS series units to look 25’ to 30’ off each side of the boat. It performs better in that extremely shallow three- to four-feet of water than any other side-looking technologies I’ve used in the past,” said Browning.
When using SideVision, Browning prefers the copper palette. “I’ve always used it. My eyes just see that particular color better, even in the sun, and I can identify cover, fish, and bottom irregularities.”
Not only did Browning’s Axiom units help him find the right cover and navigation routes, the time he saved was critical to this particular tournament win.
“The fifth fish every day came within minutes of me having to leave. It was really fishing for five key bites a day. Had I not had the confidence that I could run in and out of that place quickly and safely—rather than having to leave 15 or 20 minutes earlier to idle out—then I wouldn’t have caught those fish. I would’ve been idling, not fishing. This was a tremendous key to winning the event.”
Presentation-wise, Browning’s key bait was a 3/8-ounce Z-Man ChatterBait JackHammer with Z-Man DieZel Minnowz or Razor Shadz trailer fished on St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass rods with Lew’s baitcasters and 20-pound fluorocarbon.
Browning finished the three-day event with 15 bass for 44 pounds even, jumping from fifth place on Saturday to first on the final day, edging out second-place finisher Ken Iyobe by just over two pounds. Following this win, Browning proceeds to the 2018 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens Championship, Oct. 18-20, location TBA.
Alabama Angler Grabs Early Lead In B.A.S.S. Nation Regional Bass Tournament On Toledo Bend
MANY, La. — Alabama’s Bruce Sargent was tight-lipped on Wednesday during the opening round of the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Central Regional presented by Magellan Outdoors.
His bass, however, were not.
Sargent, who hails from Gardendale, Ala., boated a five-bass limit that weighed 23 pounds in the first round of the tournament on Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Louisiana/Texas border. That gave him a 1-pound lead over Iowa’s Ron Kingsbury (22-0) and a 3-pound lead over Indiana’s John Roth (20-0.)
There were 24 additional anglers who caught 15 pounds of bass or more on this fabled fishery today, but none put together a bag quite like Sargent’s. He put himself in prime position to not only nab one of the Top 3 spots on Team Alabama (which is one way to get into Friday’s cut in this three-day event), but also to give his squad a good chance at winning a Triton/Mercury boat package that will go to one of the 19 states represented here that has the highest cumulative weight after Thursday’s action.
“I’ll tell you everything you need to know on Friday,” Sargent said, before divulging a little bit of his day.
“I caught them all day long,” he said. “I had a limit by 9 o’clock and was able to cull from there. I’ve been here five days, and I’ve caught a 5-pounder every day. I’m catching them all over the lake. It’s not just in one creek. I’m running a pattern.”
Sargent’s big bag has Team Alabama in fourth place with 64 bass weighing 180 pounds, 3 ounces. That’s the cumulative total caught by 10 boaters and 10 nonboaters (each team has 20 anglers and can a weigh in a total of 80 bass — five each for boaters and three for nonboaters).
Host state Louisiana leads the team standings with 65 bass weighing 196 pounds, 3 ounces. Arkansas is in second with 65 bass and 184-12 and Iowa is in third with 63 bass and 182-2.
As impressive as Sargent’s limit was, the most impressive bag of the day may have been weighed by Charlie Hewitt of Prairieville, La.
Hewitt, who is fishing in the nonboater division, caught three bass that weighed 18-1. His biggest bass weighed 7 pounds and his other two fish averaged 5 1/2 pounds apiece.
Nick Coleman, who is the president of the Kentucky B.A.S.S. Nation, is second in the nonboater division with three bass that weighed 16-1. He, too, boated a 7-plus pound bass that anchored his bag.
“I don’t want to give away too much, but it took quite a while to get that fish in,” Coleman said. “I was using really light line. I actually caught it on a drop shot; something I didn’t expect to use here. It was midmorning. My bass bit good until about noon today.”
Josh Crededio of Team Wisconsin is third in the nonboater division with a 14-15 limit.
Nonboater Michael Nobile of Destrehan, La., caught the biggest bass of the day — an 8-15 bucketmouth that qualifies for Lunker Class prizes in Texas’ Toyota ShareLunker program.
He too wasn’t saying much about the bass that dropped jaws throughout the crowd gathered at Cypress Bend Park on the shore of Toledo Bend.
“It didn’t take long,” he said of the struggle his big bass exhibited on Wednesday morning. “I was about 15 feet from it when it bit.”
Leland Sanders of Team Oklahoma had the biggest bass in the boater division, a 7-14 largemouth. The boater with the biggest bass of the tournament will win a $500 prize on Friday. The nonboater with the heaviest bass will earn $250.
Exactly 380 anglers will test their luck on Toledo Bend Reservoir again Thursday when launch begins at 6:15 a.m. CT from Cypress Bend Park. There will be a cut when the day is complete and the remaining field will be composed of the leading 38 boaters and the Top 38 nonboaters. The number of remaining boats will almost certainly be higher, however, as each state’s Top 3 in each division make the cut, as well.
Those who do survive the cut will fish for cash prizes. The boater with the heaviest three-day total weight will earn $6,500 and the top nonboater will take home $3,250. Each state’s leading boater and nonboater also will qualify for the Academy Sports + Outdoors B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Magellan Outdoors which will be held later this year on an undisclosed date and fishery. From there, top anglers can earn a spot in the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.
