Story by Terrance Narveson
The BFL Regional was held at Kentucky Lake/ Barkley Lake. Brain Fitzpatrick won the Boater side and I won the Co-Angler side. The Boater won the truck and boat, and Co-angler won a Boat. Here is a little about how the guys caught their fish on the boater side.
Brian Fitzpatrick - 41.11lbs He was making the long run up the river past Paris fishing matted Grass. His pattern started to fade by the end of the tournament but it was just enough to edge out Gabe.
Gabe Herrington - 40.14lbs Gabe had fish located on ledges but when the tournament kicked off his fish were gone. He then scrambled and found some fish in grass as well. This spot proved to be a great honeyhole for him and it got him to the 12 man cut. His final day he fished the same pattern in the grass and came in with a great sack that brought him up from 9th to Second. Great job Gabe.
Jason Slagstad - 40.12lbs Jason was also fishing the grass down by Paris. He commented that his fish changed patterns for him throughout the tournament and he adjusted and still found enough for third.
Co-angler Winner Terrance Narveson -25.11lbs
I fished a different pattern each day of the tournament and I was fortunate enough to get the right bites and win the boat. For more info on how I caught the fish, read my "In the Boat" with Jewel Bait Company column - Click Here
