 With the Win, He Reclaims the Title of
      All-Time BASS Money Winner
 July 16, 2006 - PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.  Denny
      Brauer handily outfished three-day leader Chris Lane on Sunday
      to take the $100,000 win in the CITGO Bassmaster Elite Series,
      Champion,s Choice on Lake Champlain and become the all-time BASS
      money winner.  With the winner,s purse in hand, Brauer boosted
      his total BASS career earnings to $2,077,751, becoming not only
      a $2 million man, but once again the BASS all-time money winner,
      passing two-time CITGO Bassmaster Classic champion Kevin VanDam
      by more than $17,000.  "I was very proud of that accomplishment,
      and to get it back is special, said Brauer, who had held the
      top spot in earnings for many years. "Records are meant
      to be broken, but I won,t go away quietly.  To see Brauer take the win and become BASS, all-time
      money winner, tune into The CITGO Bassmasters Saturday,
      July 22, at 10 a.m. ET on ESPN2.  Brauer became the second angler to bust through
      the $2 million mark in less than a month; VanDam hit it June
      18. Winning the Champion,s Choice also marked the 16th Bassmaster
      win for Brauer, whose career titles include champion of the 1998
      CITGO Bassmaster Classic.  On the final day of the Champlain event, Brauer,
      57, of Camdenton, Mo., brought in a limit of five largemouth
      bass that weighed 23 pounds, 4 ounces, pumping his four-day total
      to 80-3, almost 8 pounds more than the second-place finisher.
      All week he fished a lure named for him: Strike King,s Denny
      Brauer Premier Pro-Model Jig, which he rigged with a trailer
      and 60-pound braided line.  After three days of trailing Toyota Rookie award
      contender Lane of Winter Haven, Fla., Brauer committed himself
      on the fourth and final competition day to a 100-yard stretch
      of water thick with reeds and grass. He said he fished it most
      of the day, but had his limit by 7:30 a.m.  Not only did his final weight earn the 18-time
      Classic qualifier the $100,000 top prize, but his Day 4 weight
      included the $1,000 Purolator Big Bass (5-2) and was the biggest
      bag of the tournament, earning him the $1,000 BUSCH Heavyweight
      bonus.  If his big bag remains one of the 10 heaviest weights
      in the 11-event 2006 CITGO Bassmaster Elite Series, he will qualify
      for the $216,000 BUSCH Shootout.  "This is probably my favorite lake as of this
      moment, said Brauer as he reflected on his Lake Champlain achievements.
      "It,s a very special win to come at this point in my career.
       Brent Chapman of Lake Quivira, Kan., moved
      up Day 4 with a catch of 17 pounds, 15 ounces, bringing his total
      to 72-5 for the $30,000 second-place payout. Third was Terry
      Butcher of Talala, Okla., who finished with 70-11, for the $25,000
      cash prize. Fourth was Mark Tyler of Arizona with 69-6. Tommy
      Biffle of Oklahoma finished with 68-13, good enough for fifth,
      but not for a repeat of his win a week ago at the Elite event
      on Oneida Lake in New York.  After fending off the world,s best BASS pros for
      three days, Lane, 30, fell to sixth. He had been fishing an area
      at the north end of the lake, but Sunday headed south for the
      final day in what he described later as "the wrong move.
       "I had a good practice there the first day
      and thought it had the potential to [allow me to] hang on to
      the lead, said Lane. "I think local angling pressure scattered
      the fish.  Despite losing the lead, Lane built his points
      total and jumped from 11th to sixth in Toyota Rookie of the Year
      standings.  "My goal this year as a rookie is to learn
      as much as I can, Lane said. "You,ve got to do whatever
      it takes to adjust to what you,ve been dealt. It,s been a heck
      of a ride this week.  The Champion,s Choice concluded The Northern Swing
      of the 11-event 2006 Elite Series. With nine down, the Elite
      pros enter The Final Charge: Capitol Clash on the Potomac River
      in Charles County, Md., Aug. 10-13; and The Rock presented by
      TheraSeed on Table Rock Lake in Kimberling, Mo., Sept. 14-17.
       In each Elite Series event, anglers vie for $673,150
      in cash to the top 50 Elite pros. Just as important are the points
      amassed toward qualifying in the Bassmaster Majors and CITGO
      Bassmaster Classic, and in the race for the CITGO Bassmaster
      Angler of the Year award.  2003 CITGO Bassmaster Classic champion Michael
      Iaconelli leads the Angler of the Year points standings, but
      trailing by 50 points is the leader in the Toyota Rookie of the
      Year race, Steve Kennedy of Auburn, Ala.  Kennedy has had a phenomenal season, finishing
      in the top 50 eight out of nine Elite tournaments. His highest
      finish was third place in the Southern Challenge presented by
      Berkley on Lake Guntersville.  Day 4 Purolator Big Bass Pro  Denny Brauer, 5-2, Camdenton, Mo.  Day 4 Busch Heavyweight  Denny Brauer, 23-4, Camdenton, Mo.   Local Sponsors: Local sponsors include
