Inman Wins Bass Fishing Tournament On Kerr Lake

HENDERSON, N.C. (Sept. 10, 2012) – Larry Inman of Greensboro, N.C., weighed a two-day total of 10 bass totaling 29 pounds, 13 ounces to win the Bass Fishing League Piedmont Division super tournament on Kerr Lake in Henderson on Sunday. For his victory, Inman earned $5,821.

     “I must have fished around 75 of these BFL events,” said Inman. “This was my first win, and I can’t tell you how good it feels.

     “I fished all over the lake, running from place to place,” Inman continued. “I was throwing a topwater early and a worm later. It was a pretty good tournament for me. I had around 15 keepers on Saturday, and eight on Sunday. I had a limit by 8:30 a.m., though.

     “The key for me was my cadence, and the way that I was working my baits,” Inman went on to say. “I have to thank my wife for this win, too. She’s always putting up with me sneaking away for a few days to go fish, and I couldn’t do this without her.”
