Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Keith Honeycutt knows how to fish his way to the tournament podium. The veteran Texas co-angler has won multiple FLW tournaments, including the 2013 Walmart FLW Tour event at Grand Lake.

Still, when Honeycutt hoisted the FLW Tour co-angler champion's trophy over his head on stage this afternoon at Lake Eufaula, he celebrated with great joy because he knows how difficult it is to attain that level of success against the best amateur anglers in the world.

"It doesn't come around very often," says Honeycutt, who edged out Japan's Hiroyuki Watanabe by just 2 ounces with a two-day total of 22 pounds, 12 ounces. "It's hard to get two pro partners who fish a way that you can catch them too."
