Nixon has won essentially every bass fishing tournament except the Forrest Wood Cup.

Walters landed a five-bass limit that totaled 11 pounds, 4 ounces, and is 4-14 out of first place held by Jacob Wheeler. Additionally, the Huntsville-Madison County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau says we will receive over $1 million of media exposure from coverage of the FLW tournament.

Darrell Davis of Dover is 37th in the pro division with two bass weighing 8 1/2 pounds.

But it didn’t come easily for Wheeler, who was the 2014 Bassfest Champion. “I’ll tell you now, because I want to win it really bad”.

The world championship of bass fishing selected Huntsville to host their 2016 activities. The pair was a dynamic duo, winning the tourney with 20.17 pounds and tying in the big bass category at 5.49 pounds.
