Robert Audett Wins Wal-Mart Fishing League Event

March 5th, 2008 · No Comments

On Saturday, March 1, Robert Audett of Jasper, Texas, won the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Louisiana/Texas Division tournament held on Sam Rayburn Reservoir.

Audett won the tournament with a five-bass catch weighing a total of 20lbs, 2oz.

The win netted Audett $4,744 and put him a step closer to qualifying for the Lake Ouachita Regional Championship in Mount Ida, Ark., Oct. 23-25, where he could ultimately win a new 198VX Ranger boat and a Chevy truck.

Audett fished ditches on the north lake with hard plastics and caught a 7-pounder on his last cast - nice!

Rounding out the top five boaters were Melvin Dunn of Orange, Texas (five bass, 19-02, $2,791); Michael Herron of Paris, Texas (five bass, 18-12, $1,861); Andy Gaia of Tomball, Texas (five bass, 17-01, $1,302) and John Bowen of League City, Texas (five bass, 16-13, $1,116).

Herron took home the Boater Division Snickers Big Bass award, earning $895 for a 10-pound, 2-ounce bass he caught on a Senko - SWEET!

John Ellender Jr. of Hemphill, Texas, earned $2,728 as the co-angler winner Saturday thanks to five bass weighing 21 pounds, 14 ounces that he caught fishing ditches - WOW!

When you’re out fishing be sure to wear our line of StayDry shirts to keep dry when there’s water spray or you’re unhooking a lunker. These dry shirts also provide superior UV protection while you’re on the water. :-)
