Crankbaits key to Indiana angler’s title
MINNEAPOLIS (May 22, 2011) – Tune in Sunday, May 29 from 1-2 p.m. ET to “FLW Outdoors” on VERSUS for complete coverage of the TBF National Championship bass fishing tournament on Nickajack Lake. The one-hour show highlights Salem, Indiana, angler Allen Boyd’s national championship victory.
Boyd brought a 17-pound, 1-ounce limit to the scales on the final day of the TBF National Championship to win the “Living The Dream” package. It includes paid entry into the Walmart FLW Tour and is valued at over $100,000. His three-day weight was 50 pounds, just 5 ounces more than second-place boater James Biggs of Bedford, Texas.
Boyd said he relied on a blue-and-chartreuse Norman crankbait and a shallow-diving Strike King crankbait. They produced nearly all his fish, which came from just a few areas near Hales Bar Marina that he returned to all three days of competition.
Boyd was in third in the Northern Division after the first day, but moved into first after crushing a 19-pound, 11-ounce sack on the second day, including two 5-pounders.
Rounding out the top five were Kenny Beale Jr. of Danville, Va. (48-14), Larry Hardy of Tonto Basin, Ariz. (46-9), and Don Boeger of Caldwell, Idaho (44-1).
