Brian Maloney’s stringer was more than a pound lighter than yesterday, but his 13-06 sack was just enough to close out a wire-to-wire win at the BFL All-American, held at the Potomac River. The Osage Beach, Mo., resident finished with 43-04 to edge Dick Shaffer, who closed with 42-14 after catching 14-00 today.
The win earned Maloney $120,000 in cash as well as a berth in this year’s Forrest Wood Cup, to be held in August at Lake Lanier in Georgia.
David Williams caught the heaviest bag of the final day (15-05) to finish 3rd with 42-03.
