Against a heavy host of many of the sport's best flippers – names like JT Kenney, Terry Scroggins, Bobby and Chris Lane – Floridian Trevor Fitzgerald beat them all at their own game and won last weekend's Seminole Bassmaster Southern Open with a 44-02, 3-day total.
He did it with a surprising 19-01 final-day sack – a catch two to three times
heavier than what many in the Top 20 caught the final day.
It was Fitzgerald's first win at this level and it moved him up to 8th in the final Southern points. That means he'll likely have a shot at the Bassmaster Elite Series if he wants it. He's not made a decision yet – finances need to come together – but right now he's still basking in the win.
"Even getting home, it was just starting to sink in and it wasn't 100% sunk in yet," he said. "It's a big deal for me. I've won some BFLs and stuff, but never anything at this level."
Here's how he did it.
Practice
Fitzgerald's from Ocklawaha in central Florida, so he's naturally a mat-puncher. He made several pre-practice visits to Seminole and was able to get flip bites in matted grass and determined that would be his goal when tournament week arrived.
During the official practice, he did explore a topwater bite and had success, but a cold front blew through on Monday and the flipping bite took control again. He only practiced a half-day Monday and kept a very low profile the rest of practice. He didn't want too many boats to see that the flipping bite was on.
"I had a great day Monday and took the afternoon off," he noted. "I came back out Tuesday and didn't fish a whole lot. I didn't want to get seen in a good area. I knew going in that JT (Kenney), Terry Scroggins, Chris and Bobby Lane – they'd find something similar to what I had. I knew I wasn't going to be the only guy flipping, but I wasn't really wanting to tell everybody about it either."
Competition
> Day 1: 3, 10-06
> Day 2: 5, 14-11
> Day 3: 5, 19-01
> Total = 13, 44-02
Fitzgerald's first fish of competition was a 4-pouder, and he caught a 2-pounder "pretty quickly after that." It didn't last, though. He lost a 4-pounder and a 2-pounder, but salvaged his day with a late 4-pounder and brought in three fish for 10-06. He said his confidence was still high – he felt he could get bites the next day, he'd just have to execute better.
He got more bites on day 2 – the conditions were still post-frontal, but the fish had begun to recover.
"The weather was stabilizing," he said. "I had an area I fished for about an hour the first day and I fished it for about 3 hours the second day. I knew if I made the cut I was going to spend all of day 3 there."
He made the cut, then headed right back in there on day 3 and camped.
"I spent the whole day in there," he said. "I caught 19 pounds out of that one little area. I had a 13-pound limit by 9:30 and just kind of culled up from there."
About his winning area, he said: "It was close to the river channel and close to some creek channels. I think what happened was when that cold front came through, a lot of open-water fish went into those shallower mats just to get some cover over them. In Florida, when fronts hit, they like to get in that thick stuff. It was all pretty thick hydrilla that topped out at the surface."
Winning Gear Notes
> Flipping gear: 7'6" extra-heavy Fitzgerald Rods flipping stick, Quantum Energy casting reel (7:1), 65-pound PowerPro braid, 4/0 Reaction Innovations BMF hook (pegged with bobber stop).
> He flipped a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver (black/blue) with a 1-ounce Tru-Tungsten weight, and a Gambler Mega Daddy (junebug/green-pumpkin) with a 1 1/2-ounce Tru-Tungsten weight.
