Local buddy bass tournaments held on weekdays every other week are showing Paris area anglers are landing some hefty fish on their own. According to spokesman Kevin Ray last week’s Friday morning event saw Troy Howell and Katie Arnzero land a 22.08 pound stringer to take the top spot. They had the big fish too courtesy of a 6.85 pound largemouth.

Second place went to Lila and Donnie Williams with 17.93 pounds. Both stringers were quite impressive for just a half day of fishing.

The midweek Wednesday afternoon tournament was won by Adam Craig and Jason Chadwick with a hefty 23.22 pound stringer topped by a 5.79 pound largemouth. Second place went to Ray Norwood who fished alone and caught 22.05 pounds of bass.

Makes it sound like these 4-pound plus average stringers are abundant but anytime someone catches bass like that he or she deserves recognition and respect!

Triton Boat Owners bass tournament held on Kentucky Lake out of Paris Landing had almost 300 boats entered.

Even though he didn’t catch the most fish during the event, Michael Bagwell of Dover was perhaps the biggest winner of all. In the random draw he heard his name called out as winner of a new Triton 21XS boat, with a 250 Mercury outboard, complete with Motor Guide trolling motor and Lowrance electronics valued at a whopping $60,000!

Fishing their first Triton Owners Tourney, Chuck Murray of Louisburg, NC and Ben Parker of Paris weighed 10 bass totaling 51.64 pounds and also now hold the two day total weight record in the 11 year history of the event. The previous record was 49 pounds.

The duo stated they caught their fish on a variety of baits but jigs and crank baits were the main weapons. Murray stated the team boated over 150 fish each day and it could have been more. “I have never seen in my fishing career, bass school like they do in this lake”.

They caught fish on every cast for two solid hours each day. Parker and Murray stated they found their main “Honey Hole” on Wednesday in practice. Murray stated they were searching the lake, studying their electronics, when Ben said, “There they are!!” The screen was full of fish! Parker stated they turned the boat, made four casts and caught 4 good fish.

Donnie and Lila Williams of Paris had a great tournament too and wound up in third place with a two-day total of 47.67 pounds. A tip of the hat to the husband and wife team who did very well in a competitive field.

That Lila can hang in there with the best of ‘em!
