The Northwest Region of the Texas BASS Nation held its final regional event of the year on June 5th at lake E.V. Spence. The weather was great with light winds and plenty of sunshine. The lake level was on the rise after some much needed rain and came up about 18” during official practice and tournament day.
The fish were also cooperating with the majority of anglers bringing in 5 fish limits. David Zak brought in the heavy limit of the tournament weighing-in 23.15 lbs to take the win. Kelley Hudson took 2nd place with 21.95 lbs followed closely by Ryan McCorkle with 21.28 lbs for 3rd place. Kevin Weekes had big bass of the tournament with a nice 7.32 lb largemouth. Most anglers were flipping plastics in the stick ups and bushes.
The Northwest Region will hold its regional championship on O.H. Ivie in the Fall. We will be taking the top twenty anglers in the point standings after their 2 lowest tournaments are dropped. Look for the Final Point Standings (lows dropped) on the state website.
I want to thank all the anglers who came out and supported the region this year. We made some great memories!
Kelly Hudson
Northwest Region Director
