6/5/2010: Choke Canyon
Results
Kevin Mason with Onalaska Bass Club takes the
last event of the 2010 SE Region tournament trail at Choke Canyon. He
had a five fish limit that weighed 18.24# with a 6.86# kicker.
On most other lakes a 6.86# would have put you in the big bass
money.
Second
place went to the 2009 & 2010 Angler of the Year, Albert Collins
with the Nacogdoches Bass Club. Albert had a limit that went 17.15#
and a 10.47# kicker. One would have expected to win the big bass
pot with a 10.47#, right? But not at Choke Canyon.
Third place went to Cory Fontenot with the Magnolia
Tomball Bass Club. Cory had three solid fish that tipped the scales
at 16.10#, the biggest of which was 9.62#. And guess what, that
9.62# fish was fourth place on the big bass list.
So who was the big bass winner? And how big was
the fish?
When Ed Caskey with American Anglers stepped
to the scales, he had two fish in his bag and placed seventh in
the tournament. Yes that's right just two fish!! "Twelve
pounds even, there's your big bass winner folks..." was
how Assistant Region Director and Emcee Jay Miller put it. Yeah,
big bass of the tournament, big bass of the year and probably biggest
bass ever caught at a Southeast Region tournament event. CONGRATULATIONS
Ed!!

Albert Collins did take second place big bass
with that 10.47# fish and we were all surprised he got beat
in that category. The fact that he didn't get big bass was a little
easier to take when the Angler of the Year was announced. Congratulations
Albert on being not only the 2010 Angler of the Year, but also
the 2009 AOY. I think all will agree that consistency of that caliber
deserves reward.
