Diablo's Wind Blows Over Delta
Holland Ramp, CA Delta- When an angler wins four out of five tournaments it becomes obvious that there must be more than a finely honed balance of skill and luck. Although the conclusion is surely shared by all I shall be the one to put this truth to print. Jon Hagan has sold his soul to the devil and is now a man-fish hybrid. I don't know how a good guy like Tyler Linscott got mixed up in the bargain for though the devilish duo managed to bring only four fish to the scales, the 16.58 lbs. was enough to reign over the twelve team field. They told their story about sticking to their game plan throwing the all powerful Basstrix all day while covering lots of water until they were inextricably drawn to their last fish of the day, the tournaments big fish. The 7.91 lb monster just couldn't seem to resist Hagan's bait. Congratulations go out to Tyler and Jon for their win. We'll see how Mr. Hagan and his new business partner manage to continue his amazing winning streak considering he will be fishing a Future Pro event the day of our next Bass Busters tournament.
Coming in second was the team of Joe Heylen and Bon Gotuaco. They picked apart Rock Slough for their five fish. With frogs and wacky rigged Senkos they managed to bring in their 12.6 lb. sack which was anchored by a 4.2 lb kicker.
Continuing his stellar season John Fernandez and his partner Joe Alvarez took third place with 11.76 lbs. of fish. Glenn Hayashimoto weighed in the second big fish of the day 4.93 lbs.
Great job everyone!
