Oklahoma’s Edwin Evers Capitalizes on Slow Day to Lead Bassmaster Elite Event on Clarks Hill Lake
EVANS, Ga. – Spurred by an auspicious beginning Friday in which he caught a 6-pound, 7-ounce bass on his third cast, Edwin Evers of Talala, Okla., ”grinded it out” and built a 2-pound lead at the Pride of Georgia presented by Evan Williams Bourbon on Clarks Hill Lake. Evers, with a two-day total of 33 pounds, 14 ounces, held off fellow Oklahoman Kenyon Hill, who had a two-day total of 31 pounds, 14 ounces.
With a victory, Evers would take home the $100,000 top prize and improve considerably on his 33rd-place standing in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year chase. Clarks Hill hasn’t been a favorite for Evers in the past — the Elite Series has visited the spacious reservoir for three consecutive years — but the 33-year-old switched it up this week, targeting shallow water.
“I’m covering a ton of water and I must have fished a zillion different spots,” said Evers, whose 6-7 on the third cast was good for Purolator Big Bass Honors and a $1,000 premium. ”I’m not sure I deserved that big fish but it was one of those days where a lot went right.”
Although Evers has a number of areas, he is visiting them all repeatedly throughout the day. In the past, he concentrated on 30 to 40 feet of water without much success, and while he didn’t want to divulge the exact depth on which he was focusing he did say it was quite shallow.
Leapfrogging from 12th place, Evers put himself in prime position to make the cut for the final day and compete for his fifth BASS win. He was excited about the forecast for Saturday, which calls for clouds, wind and rain, because his pattern could be more successful with those conditions.
Hill is one of few anglers demonstrating consistency on Clarks Hill. He followed up a 17-pound limit with more than 14 pounds Friday and continues to adapt to the tough conditions.
He is targeting fish in ultra-shallow water – nothing more than 2 feet of depth – and has identified a couple of locations in which the fish are holding. He believes they are in a pre-spawn staging pattern.
“I changed baits up and decided to emphasize techniques that I knew would entice quality and not numbers of fish,” said Hill, 43.
Hill used a variety of baits, including a pencil popper, which helped nab his biggest fish of the day, a 5-15 brute.
Despite faltering Friday and only catching 9 pounds, 12 ounces, Day 1 leader Denny Brauer built enough of a cushion Thursday to remain in contention. He returned to the same areas Friday and used the same lures, primarily a Strike King football jig, but couldn’t entice the bigger bass.
Still battling an illness, he had caught just two fish after four hours of competition but salvaged the day by rounding out a limit on a new spot. He too was excited about a possible weather change from the bluebird conditions.
“I guess it can’t get much worse for me,” said Brauer, the 1987 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year. “I really struggled today but I have a game plan for tomorrow and I plan to run all fresh water.”
Finishing fourth was Greg Gutierrez of Red Bluff, Calif., with 31 pounds, 2 ounces, and fifth was 2008 Bassmaster Classic champion Alton Jones of Waco, Texas, with 30 pounds, 5 ounces.
Defending Clarks Hill champion Mike McClelland of Bella Vista, Ark., was 17th. Other notable Elite pros who finished within the top-50 cut line were 2007 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Skeet Reese (13th), Japan’s Morizo Shimizu (29th) and Texan James Niggemeyer (41st).
In the co-angler division, amateurs are battling for a top prize of $25,000. Alabama’s Dave Elder leads with 20 pounds, 2 ounces, while Preston Frazell of Kansas (19-11) and California’s Tom Frink (19-6) trail. Frink is searching for his third BASS win on the co-angler side.
Activities at the Pride of Georgia include a live musical performance at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday by Cherry Dillinger, a Berkley Beginner fishing class at 2 p.m. and a “Boat Performance with Skeeter” class daily at 2:15 p.m. On Saturday, fans can talk to the Elite pros during “Ask the Experts” at Bassmaster University presented by Comcast Cable, set for 2:30 p.m.
Sunday’s activities include the live taping at 2:30 p.m. of Hooked Up, hosted by BASS emcee Keith Alan and ESPN Outdoors personality Mark Zona. The show, which airs on Bassmaster.com, will preview the final weigh-in. Live, streaming video of the Pride of Georgia’s daily weigh-ins begins at 3 p.m. ET on Bassmaster.com.
