Ware and Collins Win Missouri State Championship on Table Rock Lake

The Willard High School Tigers team of Austin Ware and Jacob Collins won the Missouri High School Fishing State Championship event on Table Rock Lake at Kimberling City this past weekend.  Their 12.9 pound limit was anchored by the Lew’s Big Bass of the day, a nice 3.8 lunker.  The pair each received a Lew’s Reel for their big catch.

In second place was the Missouri SAF team of Douglas Guidorzi and Liam Cutright who turned in 9.1 pounds.  Finishing in third place was Trey Schroeder and Grant Nisbet with 6.7 pounds.  Seth Croxton and Shawn O’Daniel finished in fourth with 5.1 pounds.  Johnny and Tony Deluca finished fifth with 4.8 pounds.

Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, swimbaits and jigs were how most of the anglers caught fish; some were fishing around docks while others were out in deeper water fishing submerged trees and brush in 15-25 feet of water.

2017 Kentucky High School Fishing State Championship Hosts Record-Breaking Field; Turner and Hembree Crowned Champs

Brandon Turner and Ricky Seth Hembree took top honors in the field of 192 teams at the 2017 Kentucky High School Fishing State Championship on Lake Cumberland April 1.  The Madison Southern team brought in a limit of bass weighing 15.2 pounds to seize the titles and advance to the national event to be held this summer in conjunction with the High School Fishing World Finals on Lake Pickwick.

The top 19 teams will also advance to the national contest.  Among them and also from Madison Southern, were Blake Harold and Cameron Cochran just missing the titles in second with 14.10 pounds.

Rounding out the top five were the teams of Blake Stringer and Tyler Warner from Pulaski County with 14.6 pounds.  In fourth, was the South Laurel team of Matthew Woods and Tad Barton with 13.7 pounds and in a tie for fifth with 13.4 pounds were Morgan and Logan Miracle from Garrard County and Caleb and Cole Ballinger.

As the anglers crossed the stage the Alabama Rig seemed to be the bait of choice.  Spinnerbaits, crankbaits and jigs also produced fish on Saturday.  A total of 131 of the record-breaking 192 team field brought fish to the scales wrapping up the 2017 Kentucky High School State Championship on Lake Cumberland.
