HUDDLESTON, Va. - There is a first time for everything in life. In the case of Ron Nelson of Berrien Springs, Mich., it is his first time fishing an EverStart tournament and he just happened to capture his very first EverStart title. Nelson fished consistently this week - 16-15 and 16-0 on days one and two respectively - and hauled in 16 pounds today to bring his three-day total weight up to 48-15 - winning by 11 ounces. The Michigan pro not only took home the title from the first EverStart Northern Division event on Smith Mountain Lake, but he also earned a cool $32,555 for his efforts.
