The TEXAS BOAT WORLD BASSMASTER Team Trail held qualifier #3, April 22, on Lake Conroe. The Texas B.A.S.S. Nation Southeast Region hosted the event out of Lakeview Marina. The Southeast Region held their fourth event of their trail the day before, to which it took 33 pounds to win, and big weights were predicted for Sunday’s event. However, what was not fully predicted was the wind forecast. On Sunday morning, with winds with forecasts of 20+ mph, State and Tournament Director, David Glezman, allowed the 19 angler-team field to trailer to their desired ramps.
While the wind played havoc for some teams, many were still able to find the fish, and one team found them in a BIG way! Southeast Region Director, Daniel Davis, and Director Tommy Whitt found the toads when they landed a 11.59 toad, followed by an 8+, anchoring their 5-fish limit weighing 28.48 pounds earning them a first place check!
2nd place was earned by Russell Pasket & Nick Diberardino with a 5-fish limit weighing 18.70 followed closely by the 3rd place of Assistant State Director Ron L. Jones & Ben South weighing 18.30.
We want to thank the Southeast Region and their angler members for sponsoring the tournament and to Lakeview Marina for providing the host site. Qualifier #4 is just around the corner as we head to Cedar Creek Lake out of Coleto Creek Park, as the anglers make their way to the Championship on Lake Belton. See you at Cedar Creek!
