Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Despite a brutally tough final day, Buddy Gross of Ringgold, Ga., held on for the win in the Walmart FLW Tour event presented by Quaker State and hosted by Florence/Lauderdale Tourism on Pickwick Lake. On day four, Gross only brought two bass to the scale worth 4 pounds, 14 ounces, but his total of 74-5 was enough to overcome Michael Neal's late flurry for his first Tour win and a $100,000 payday.
