Lake Havasu City, Ariz. - Emotions were high for Joe Uribe Jr. as he took the stage for the final weigh-in on Lake Havasu in the Rayovac FLW Series Western Division event presented by Mercury. With a 5-pound, 4-ounce lead coming into today, Uribe felt like this was his tournament to win, and he didn't disappoint. In fact, the Suprise, Ariz., pro locked up his first Rayovac FLW Series title with an exclamation point - a 26-pound, 7-ounce limit that caused the crowd to jump to its feet with applause when Tournament Director Ron Lappin called the final weight. Uribe won in a landslide by almost 15 pounds with a three-day total of 67-3. He walked away with a $40,000 paycheck.
