Dennis Berhorst, a six-time winner at the BFL level, captured his first EverStart victory today as he caught a 14-09 stringer to close out the win in the Central Division event at Lake of the Ozarks with a 3-day total of 47-08. His winning margin over runner-up Tim Gaskill was a little more than 2 pounds.
“I wasn’t even sure that I would be able to catch five each day,” he said. “You’d have a few good days of practice, and then you’d have a real bad day. I had a couple of bad days even in the BFL last weekend. I just kept my head up and fished a lot of areas.
"I concentrated on 10 feet of water or less, and I actually caught a lot of my fish suspended right at that 10-foot depth. I really just concentrated on fishing the way that I like to fish.”
He caught all of his fish flipping docks with a Zoom Brush Hog. Full details of his winning pattern will be published soon.
