Central Division
BOLTON WINS EVERSTART SERIES
EVENT ON KENTUCKY LAKE
BENTON, Ky. (June 18, 2005) - Yamaha pro
Terry Bolton of Paducah, caught a two-day total of 10 bass weighing
37 pounds, 9 ounces to win the EverStart Series Central Division
event on Kentucky Lake presented by Yamaha. He was awarded a
fully rigged Ranger 519 VX powered by a Yamaha or Evinrude outboard,
Minn Kota trolling motor, Garmin electronics and EverStart Batteries
plus $10,000 cash. He also won an additional $10,000 from Ranger
for being a registered Ranger owner, another $3,000 for being
the highest Ranger Cup finisher and an additional $1,500 for
meeting the Yamaha contingency requirements for a total of $64,500
in cash and prizes.
"I finally got it right," Bolton said
of his first major win in 13 years as a touring professional
angler in front of his hometown crowd. He caught not only one
bass that broke the 5-pound mark, but also a behemoth that weighed
more than 8 pounds. His final day limit of 21 pounds, 5 ounces
was the second heaviest limit of the entire event.
"That 8 pounder was the fourth bass I caught
Saturday morning," he said. "You just don't catch bass
like that on this lake in the summer. When I put her in the livewell,
I knew it was going to be a special day." While all nine
of the other competitors weighed in smaller limits on day four,
Bolton improved his catch by more than 5 pounds from the previous
day.
Bolton made a key adjustment on Saturday that meant
the tournament for him. He marked fish on his depth finder suspended
off the bottom and realized he would have to hop his jig up to
them to catch the better bass. He used a brown 5/8-ounce homemade
jig to catch his final-day limit.
Rounding out the top-five pros are Curt McGuire
of Lawrenceburg, Tenn. (10 bass, 33 pounds, 2 ounces); Larry
Frasier of Owensboro (10 bass, 29 pounds, 2 ounces); Shawn Penn
of Eddyville (10 bass, 285 pounds, 6 ounces); and William M.
Davis of Russellville, Ala. (10 bass, 28 pounds).
David Curtis of Trinity, Texas finished in 8th
place but locked up the points title in the EverStart Series
Central Division. His points title is a major accomplishment
considering it's his second points title this year after winning
the points standings in the Wal-Mart FLW Texas Tournament Trail
earlier this year. Curtis had three top-10 finishes in four events
in the Central Division and two top-10 finishes in four events
in TTT competition.
Chuck Rounds of Benton caught 10 bass weighing
30 pounds, 14 ounces to win the Co-angler Division and a fully
rigged Ranger plus $5,000 cash. The win was Rounds second EverStart
Series win on Kentucky Lake. His last win came in 2000. He's
also won three Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League tournaments on Kentucky
Lake since 2002.
"Everyone was dragging their jigs," Rounds
said, "but I like to hop my jig." Rounds ties his own
jigs and favored black and blue and brown crawfish patterns in
this tournament.
Rounding out the top-five co-anglers are Brad Taylor
of Catlettsburg, Ky. (10 bass, 22 pounds, 15 ounces); Emmet Barnett
of Waldron, Ark. (10 bass, 22 pounds, 7 ounces); Gilbert Herald
of Pittsburg, Texas (10 bass, 22 pounds, 3 ounces); and Melinda
Mize of Ben Lomond, Ark. (10 bass, 22 pounds, 2 ounces).
Mark King of Gurdon, Ark. won the points title
in the Co-angler Division of the EverStart Series Central Division
EverStart Series tournaments are four-day events
consisting of two rounds. The entire field competes Wednesday
and Thursday, and the top 10 pros and co-anglers - based on two-day
accumulated weights - advance to the final round. Anglers start
at zero Friday, and pro and co-angler winners are determined
Saturday based on two-day accumulated weights.
