Late Giant Lifts Smith To Victory At B.A.S.S. Nation Western Regional On Havasu
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — Taylor Smith caught only five bass on the final day of the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Western Regional at Lake Havasu, and it was the final bite that gave him the weight he needed to win the season-opener on the 2021 B.A.S.S. tournament schedule.
Smith hooked a 5-pound largemouth a few dozen yards from the Lake Havasu State Park weigh-in site with only 45 minutes of tournament time remaining on Friday. The catch rounded out his 15-pound, 13-ounce limit and added to his 18-2 limit on Day 1. Smith finished with a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 33-15.
The 35-year-old Valleyford, Wash., resident won $5,000 for topping the boater division. It was part of a $27,200 total purse split between the best of the 177 competitors this week on the 19,200-acre impoundment straddling the Arizona/California border.
Smith is no stranger to success in B.A.S.S. Nation events. He finished second in the Nation Championship at South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell in 2019, which qualified him for the 2020 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk held on Alabama’s Lake Guntersville.
Smith’s win at Lake Havasu qualified him for the 2021 Nation Championship, which will be held later this year at a location to be determined.
“I’m jacked,” he said. “It was such a fun time down here. I didn’t have very high expectations. My pre-fishing was terrible. So, I’m elated. To have another chance to fish for a berth in the Classic is unbelievable.”
Smith was in second place after Day 1 on Wednesday, trailing only California’s Matty Wong, who led with 18-8. That’s how standings remained Friday, as Thursday’s competition was canceled due to strong winds in the region. B.A.S.S. officials determined the full field would fish again on Friday, and Mother Nature cooperated with postcard-perfect weather — winds at a much tamer 10 mph, bluebird skies and temperatures in the low 70s.
Still, Smith struggled to find bites Friday. His luck changed with the 5-pounder he caught on a green pumpkin football-head jig outfitted with a blue trailer.
“I yelled so loud when I caught that fish, I’m surprised you didn’t hear me up here (at weigh-in),” Smith said of his big catch. “But other than that, it really was a grind out there today.
“A lot of people had fish follow a jerkbait or a spinnerbait (on Wednesday), but I think that just slowly went away. I couldn’t get any kind of reaction bite today.”
Smith believed Thursday’s turbulent conditions made the fishing tougher Friday.
“The wind yesterday changed things for me, so I feel lucky to catch what I did,” he said. “I didn’t think I had (as much weight as I did).”
Steve Lund, who was in fourth on Day 1, climbed to second overall with a two-day total of 32-2. The Glendale, Ariz., resident caught a 16-1 limit on Friday, which was the heaviest bag of the day. Wong finished third with 28-5.
Jake Morrison of Scottsdale, Ariz., caught six bass weighing 12-11 and won $2,500 for finishing first in the co-angler division. Tom Nokes of Riverton, Utah, led the Day 1 co-angler standings and finished second overall with 12-8. Hunter Loveless of American Fork, Utah, was third with 12-0.
The squad from Washington State handily won the team championship portion. Washington anglers caught 76 bass over two days for a total weight of 188-13, and the squad collected $5,600 with the win. Idaho finished second (62 bass, 140-1) and won $3,350, while Arizona (56 bass, 135-15) placed third and won $2,200.
Other states in team scoring included California, fourth, 132-6; Utah, fifth, 131-10; Oregon, sixth, 129-3; Montana, seventh, 128-3; Wyoming, eighth, 127-5; and Nevada, ninth, 126-1.
Jay Evans of Missoula, Mont., won the $500 Big Bass Award with a 6-pounder he caught Wednesday. Scooter Griffin of Hayden, Idaho, caught a 4-12 bass Friday to win the $250 top prize for big bass among co-anglers.
JJ Gibbs IV, who lives in Lake Havasu City, won the Garmin Tournament Rewards prize of $500. He finished fourth in the boater division with a two-day total of 26-3.
The leading angler and co-angler for each state team at the Western Regional qualified for the B.A.S.S. Nation Team Championship. Four other regionals will be held in 2021, including: April 21-23 at Milford Lake in Junction City, Kan.; April 28-30 at Lake Hartwell in Anderson, S.C.; June 23-25 at Lake Erie/Presque Isle Bay in Erie, Pa.; and Sept. 1-3 on the upper Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wis.
Lake Havasu City, Ariz., hosted the Western Regional.

Weather Will Be Key For Bassmaster Elite Series-Opener On The St. Johns River
PALATKA, Fla. — John Cox wishes he could experience temporary amnesia during the upcoming AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at the St. Johns River. That’s because much of what the Florida pro has learned over the past two decades of fishing this big-fish factory will be of little relevance during this year’s season-opener.
The Bassmaster Elite Series will open its nine-event 2021 season on Florida’s scenic St. Johns River Feb. 11-14. Photo by Andy Crawford/B.A.S.S.
Competition is set for Feb. 11-14 with daily takeoffs at 7 a.m. ET from Palatka City Docks and weigh-ins each day at 3 p.m. from Palatka Riverfront Park.
Long regarded as one of Florida’s top-tier fisheries, the St. Johns once boasted a vast acreage of swaying eelgrass that served as prime habitat for bass in all stages of the spawn. But the fishery lost nearly all of that grass during Hurricane Irma in 2017.
So now, anglers will face a vastly different fishery than the one that has produced winning weights upwards of 90 pounds at past Elite Series events.
“I wish I could forget everything from the past 20 years,” Cox said. “It’s hard to get out of my head what it looked like in the past with all the eelgrass.
“It’s almost to the point where I have to forget about all the sight fishing that used to go on. I just have to fish for those fish because I don’t think the clarity is like it was without the grass.”
Tournament boundaries stretch from Jacksonville’s Fuller Warren Bridge (Interstate-95), south to Highway 44 in Deland. Historically, much of the field during Elite events has dispersed throughout the 72-square-mile Lake George, located south of the tournament’s takeoff and weigh-in site in Palatka. Nearby Crescent Lake will also get its share of attention.
Even without eelgrass, more vegetation awaits the anglers south of Lake George in the form of lily pads, hyacinth and pennywort. Getting away from the crowds could pay off, but the lower region includes no-wake zones and (manatee) speed zones, which require a larger investment of time for anglers making the long trek.
North of Palatka’s Main Street Bridge, the river broadens and offers more docks, canals and creeks — the scenario in which Paul Mueller found last year’s winning fish during an event that was shortened to three days by inclement weather. Others, including fifth-place pro Jake Whitaker, fared well by tucking into protected canals and targeting docks and seawalls.
This year, anglers will also be allowed to lock into Rodman Reservoir, south of Palatka. Adding these waters will avail a wonderland of stump-strewn habitat rich with pad fields and random laydowns.
Throughout much of the St. Johns, offshore anglers will be looking for shellbars like the ones that nearly delivered the win for last year’s Day 1 leader, Kelley Jaye.
February is always a volatile month for Florida weather, so tournaments this month are usually a feast-or-famine affair. That said, if tournament week brings warm, stable conditions, a wave of spawning bass could turn the event into a barnburner.
“There’s been a cooler winter; it’s been spread out longer, so we’re a little behind,” Cox said. “So, all the fish could really come in, like 2019 when B.A.S.S. legend Rick Clunn claimed his 16th Bassmaster win with 98 pounds, 14 ounces.
“I’ve been fishing Lake Toho and the pond at my house and they’re a couple weeks (behind schedule). But it won’t take much for it to get back on track. We’ll have a little cooldown right before practice starts, so if there’s a warming trend during the whole tournament, it could be great.”
With lower water clarity curtailing traditional sight fishing, the tournament will see less precise bed-fishing strategies. Some anglers will still pursue spawners, but it’ll likely be a strategy of blind casting to promising areas with a mix of topwaters, light jigs and Texas-rigged plastics.
Depending on weather patterns, some may target prespawn staging fish. Swim jigs, bladed jigs, swimbaits, lipless baits and squarebills could come into play for that. Elsewhere, anglers will use flipping and punching techniques, suspending jerkbaits and wacky-rigged worms.
Last year’s event saw Mueller win his second Elite trophy with a three-day total of 47 pounds, 6 ounces. That’s an average of just under 16 pounds a day — far less than the nearly 25-pound average that Clunn had with a four-day winning total of 98-14 in 2019.
That’s Florida fishing; it varies year to year and, often, week to week during the first quarter. On the upside, the St. Johns is packed with quality fish, including a generous smattering of double-digit giants.
“I think if someone does stumble onto some eelgrass, they could win the tournament,” Cox said. “If we get the warming trend and we don’t get much wind, the winning weight could be in the 90s, and it could be a Century Club (100 pounds) tournament.”
David Fritts announced earlier this week that he is withdrawing from the event for medical reasons. Fritts, who was hospitalized briefly in January, hopes to return for the Bassmaster Elite at Tennessee River Feb. 25-28.
The full field of anglers will fish the first two days, with the Top 50 advancing to Semifinal Saturday. The Top 10 remaining anglers will fish Championship Sunday with a $100,000 prize on the line.
Live coverage for all four days of the event can be streamed on Bassmaster.com and the FOX Sports digital platforms. FS1 will also broadcast live from the tournament beginning at 8 a.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday.

Expanded Roles for Daiwa Pros
Lintner Tackles Rods, Meyer Adds Lures and Howell takes on J-Fluoro Samurai Fluorocarbon Lines
Cypress, Calif. (Jan. 20, 2021) – It takes a lot to stay at the top of your field, especially in the fishing world where the leaderboard always seems to be changing. You’ve got to put in the work, invest the time, stay hungry and balance yourself on the cutting edge of innovation and technology. In short, you need to earn your place among the elite and have the resolve to stay there.
After more than 50 years at the top of the recreational fishing industry, Daiwa knows a little something about what it takes to thrive and grow amongst stiff competition. For one thing, says Curt Arakawa, Daiwa’s USA Marketing Manager, it requires a knowledgeable team that’s willing to listen carefully to what anglers have to say when it comes to tackle and equipment needs, exploring new possibilities, and envisioning better products for the future.
“That’s exactly why we’re proud to announce expanded roles for Daiwa pro team members Jared Lintner, Cody Meyer and Randy Howell,”says Arakawa. “It’s hard to imagine three more qualified anglers to represent and promote the Daiwa brand while adding their hard-earned fishing knowledge to our design and development process. These guys have won the respect of their peers and demonstrated their fishing prowess day after day on the professional circuit. Not only are they excellent anglers, they are proven team players with keen insight into what makes things tick from a fishing perspective.”
Lintner, 47, from Arroyo Grande, California, turned pro in 2005, taking the full-time plunge in 2014. He’s racked up over 20 top ten finishes in major tournaments, including wins at the Bass Pro Shops Open at Table Rock Lake, Missouri, in 2018, and Bassmaster Open on Clear Lake, California, in 2005. He brings a wealth of general bass fishing knowledge with a sharp focus on power fishing techniques.
“Jared did some great work for us on the reels last year,”continues Arakawa, “so now we’ll be turning him loose on the rods as well. He’s an excellent angler on the Major League Fishing (MLF) pro circuit with a solid following and we are looking forward to hearing more of his ideas.”
Lintner is particularly impressed by Daiwa’s Tatula® Elite
Signature Series bass rods which, he says, incorporate a lot of suggestions from the Daiwa pro staff. “I also like the BLX 7’4”crankbait rod (#BLXLG741MHRB). I use that one with everything from lipless crankbaits to a medium diver and it’s one of the finest rods I’ve ever fished with for that application. It’s everything you need in a crankbait rod with a high modulus glass composite blank, super sensitivity, and a length that allows for long casts or working up close. Another favorite is the 7’4”Tatula® Elite Ish Monroe AGS Frog Rod (#TAEL741HFBAGS). This rod is all about power and Daiwa nailed the design. It has a soft enough tip to ensure accurate casts but amazing power on the hook set. It’s my go-to rod for throwing open water frogs, mat frogs, buzz baits and bigger topwater baits. Team any of these rods with a Tatula® or Tatula® Elite series reel and you’ve got a workhorse of an outfit.”
Meyer, 37, from Star, Idaho, has accumulated over 30 top ten finishes in his 12-year professional career, including a win at the Bassmaster Western Open on Shasta Lake, CA in 2005. A Daiwa pro-staffer since 2013, he specializes in finesse tactics and fishes from coast to coast catching a ton of bass and shaking a lot of hands along the way.
“Cody already promotes and consults for many of our products,”notes Arakawa. “We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with him to also include working with Ever Green International’s lures and Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits, which Daiwa distributes.”
The additional duties make Meyer the first pro-team member involved in all major aspects of Daiwa fishing–rods, reels, lines and lures. His strong knowledge of lure action, color and design should have an immediate impact in matching the Japanese-engineered Ever Green and Yamamoto lures to the baitfish and prey species found here in the U.S.A.
“I’m really excited at the opportunity to help with lure development, in addition to my other duties,”says Meyer.“I love how Daiwa counts on its pro staff to provide input. That just makes a lot of sense. We all fish for a living. We’re on the water daily so we get to know what anglers need, what works and what doesn’t. It makes a difference when an industry leader like Daiwa factors in our suggestions. That’s one reason I’m so honored to be here.”
Long time pro Randy Howell has focused on rods, reels and J-Braid lines for Daiwa over the years. Now he’ll be joining Meyer and fellow pro-team member Ish Monroe in also promoting Daiwa’s J-Fluoro Samurai Fluorocarbon Line. You might know Howell, 47, from his“Miracle Win”at the 2014 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Guntersville, or from any of his nearly 50 top ten tourney finishes. The Guntersville, Alabama, resident has been on the professional trail for 27 years and he’s still going strong.
“Working with Daiwa since 2007 has just been terrific and I’m really looking forward to fishing both the J-Braid braided line I’ve used for the past four years and adding the J-Fluoro Samurai line to my arsenal this season,”reveals Howell.“I had a chance to try the J-Fluoro Samurai late last year and was amazed by its strength, thin diameter and sensitivity. The quality is just so good, I had to have it. I love the smoothness, and the power. Plus, with such a thin diameter, I can fish with a higher breaking strength and thinner line – that’s key in clear water and places seeing a lot of pressure.”
When it comes to your fishing arsenal, whether it’s rods, reels, lines or lures, Howell suggests asking yourself one question before heading out:
“Do I want to fish with good gear or great gear?”
“Daiwa,”he says proudly, “knows the right answer. I’m already rigged and ready to go!”

LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — B.A.S.S. officials made a decision to cancel the second day of competition at the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S.

Wong Takes Lead At B.A.S.S. Nation Western Regional On Lake Havasu
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — Matt Wong has only fished Lake Havasu four times, but the 32-year-old Los Angeles resident looked like an old pro here Wednesday on Day 1 of the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Western Regional.
Wong weighed a five-bass limit that totaled 18 pounds, 8 ounces, giving him a slim 6-ounce lead in the tournament, which is the season-opener on the 2021 B.A.S.S. schedule. A total of 177 anglers (89 boaters and 88 nonboaters) are competing, with anglers hailing from Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
Wong was the standout on Wednesday. His best bass was only in the 4-pound range, but he backed it up with a quartet of keepers that were only ounces lighter.
