 Dorsett Wins Bass Fishing League Dixie Division Tournament on Logan Martin LakePELL CITY, Ala. (Sept. 28, 2009) - Kyle Dorsett of Odenville, Ala., won the Walmart Bass Fishing League Dixie Division two-day Super Tournament on Logan Martin Lake Sunday with a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 33 pounds, 5 ounces. The victory earned Dorsett $6,066. "This feels great, man," said Dorsett, who calls Logan Martin Lake his home lake and spends about 60 days a year fishing the waters. "Especially when you go into the second day leading and you wish it was a one-day event." Dorsett said he caught his fish targeting piers and bluff walls with jigs and spinnerbaits. "I had fish found in practice and I saved them for the second day," Dorsett said. "There weren't many boats in that area, so that wasn't even a factor." Rounding out the top five boaters are Jason Nixon of Wetumpka, Ala. (10 bass, 32-4, $3,033); Ken Bearden of La Grange, Ga. (10 bass, 29-2, $2,024); Tim Hurst of Oxford, Ala. (10 bass, 28-9, $1,415) and Mark McCaig of Oxford, Ala. (10 bass, 27-11, $1,213). Nixon took home the Boater Division Folgers Big Bass award, earning $832 for a 5-pound, 7-ounce bass he caught flipping a homemade jig. Michael Wright of Covington, Ga., earned $3,033 as the co-angler winner Sunday thanks to a two-day catch of 10 bass weighing 22 pounds, 12 ounces that he caught fishing docks with a soft-plastic worm. Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Richard Moncus of Fortson, Ga. (10 bass, 22-11, $1,517); Dennis Hudson of Fortson, Ga. (10 bass, 21-6, $1,010); Adam Wade of Heflin, Ala. (10 bass, 21-2, $708); and Paul Keith of Talladega, Ala. (10 bass, 20-1, $607). Russell Weldon of Tallahassee, Ala., earned $416 as the co-angler Folgers Big Bass winner after catching a 5-pound bass. |
