Alesha Thweatt of Carrollton, Texas was recently announced as the winner of the Optima Batteries/Bass Pro Shops Tour sweepstakes and will fish for a day with Bassmaster Elite Series angler Edwin Evers on a lake near Evers' home in Oklahoma.
Thweatt's name was randomly selected from among 435 entries. The sweepstakes was part of Evers’ 2011 Bass Pro Shops Tour, which took place from March 26 to June 4 and included visits to eight select Bass Pro Shops across the U.S. Individuals who visited participating Bass Pro Shops during Evers’ personal appearances were eligible to enter the sweepstakes.
“I am really looking forward to meeting Alesha," said Evers. “I had a great time on the water with our 2010 winner Brian Jamison, and this time I’m hoping to catch even more fish in my Optima-powered Nitro Z9.”
Thweatt’s grand-prize package also includes airfare, lodging and $200 cash.
Runners-up who'll receive a gift certificate for an Optima battery are Scott Haywood (Leeds, Ala.), Steven McKee (Nashville, Tenn.), Robbie Pelt (Prattville, Ala.), Wayne Rasmussen (Broken Arrow, Okla.), Chad Robinson (Atlanga, Ga.), Doug Shumate (Orlando, Fla.), Rusty Stover (Pearl, Miss.) and James Tiner (Grapevine, Texas).
