Michigan FLW Tour pro Nate Wellman slammed a comparatively massive 22-15 on the final day and easily won the Chesapeake Bassmaster Northern Open by more than 15 pounds.
Wellman fell 12 points short of a Bassmaster Classic spot, though. That coveted prize went to Northern points winner Ryan Said and points runner-up Tracy Adams. BassFans will recognize Adams as a longtime FLW Tour pro who opted out of the Tour this year.
Below is a look at the final Top 12 in the Northern Open points. The Top 7 get an automatic invite into the Elite Series, although BASS will call down the list.
1. Ryan Said -- Mich. -- 778
2. Tracy Adams -- N.C. -- 775
3. Nate Wellman -- Mich. -- 763
4. Travis Manson -- Wisc. -- 753
5. David Walker -- Tenn. -- 722
6. Randy Howell -- Ala. -- 671
7. Chip Harrison -- Ind. -- 658
8. Joe Balog -- Mich. -- 653
9. J. Todd Tucker -- Ga. -- 652
10. Ben Parker -- Tenn. -- 648
11. Michael Simonton -- Ohio -- 645
11. Jeremy Starks -- W.Va. -- 645
