Nugent Twins Win 2011 Arizona High School Fishing State Championship

Hosted by: The Bass Federation – Arizona

September 25, 2011 – Theodore Roosevelt Lake, AZ – Great day to be out on the water and as the sun rose the High School Anglers and their boat captains were right in the mix with the adults of TBF-AZ.  Fishing was tough for everyone, but everytime it’s tough out there someone finds a way to bring in the right fish.  Although there was some disappointment the anglers were on the same stage as the adults going through the same process of being weighed in and receiving their weigh information.  The event went rather smoothly with the team from Peoria High School, Cody and Michael Nugent having “Bass Catch Fever” (Sorry) to take the title for Arizona and on their birthdays no less!  Cody and Michael Nugent will be representing Arizona at the Regional Championship being held at Saguaro Lake, AZ.
