Although his final day got off to a bad start even before he got to the lake, Chris Lane hooked 41lbs, 2oz over 3 days to win his second BASS tournament on Lake Okeechobee this week.
Seems his brother and fellow competitor, Bobby Lane, backed his boat trailer into Chris’ truck nearly ripping the driver’s door off at the hinges at the hotel they were staying at!
Others may have thought it was a bad omen but not Chris… he got out on the water, settled into fishing and won the tournament.
Making long casts with the Gambler Cane Toad and a steady, medium retrieve worked to get Chris the most bites.
“I missed an 8 pounder, a 6 pounder and two 5-pound fish,” Chris said, “but I didn’t let it get me down. You have to have mental toughness to be a tournament angler and to fish baits like these. Luckily, the right hook made a big difference, and I was able to land most of my strikes.”
Congrats Chris!
