You won't win many tournaments at the triple-A level by bringing only 60% of the maximum number of allowable fish to the scale. Mike Pharr pulled off that feat last weekend, though, as he took top honors at the Texoma Bassmaster Central Open.

Battling a mostly finicky bite in rugged winds, the 34-year-old fireman from Shreveport, La. persevered and prevailed under extremely difficult conditions. Only 14 limits were weighed out of 358 opportunities, and his bags were short on each of the 3 days.



He caught a 2-pounder in the final minutes of day 3, and it provided the winning margin over former Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brian Clark. His nine-fish, 27-04 total beat out Clark by 10 ounces.

Here's how he did it.

Practice

Pharr was at Texoma for back-to-back events – he also competed in a BFL regional tournament there the previous weekend. He finished 84th after surrendering his best spot – one that he thought he might have to himself – to another competitor who'd gotten there first.

"Honest to God, I think I could've won both tournaments," he said.

He wouldn't divulge the precise location of the hot spot he'd planned to exploit in both events, but said the key feature was riprap that dropped of into a couple of ledges. The fish, mostly 2-plus-pounders were anywhere from 4 to 8 feet deep, depending upon the conditions of the moment (sunlight, baitfish activity and their own feeding mode).

"It's kind of a secret spot, but I know of four major events that've been won there. Next time I go there might be 100 boats in there."

The fish would bite either a crankbait or a jig and could occasionally be enticed by a spinnerbait.

Competition

> Day 1: 3, 9-13
> Day 2: 2, 6-10
> Day 3: 4, 10-13
> Total = 9, 27-04

Pharr boated just three keepers on day 1, but his 3 1/4-pound average on those fish propelled him to the No. 2 position, 13 ounces behind leader Lee Sisson. His bag contained one fish that was over 4 pounds.

He got only two keeper bites on day 2, when the wind arrived in earnest. One of them was a 5-pounder, however, and although he dropped to 6th place, he was still within 4 pounds of new leader Keith Combs.

He managed three fish from his area on day 3 and was 5 minutes ahead of schedule on his return trip to the launch because the water wasn't as rough as he'd anticipated. He made a quick stop at another riprap area and scored the fish that would give him the win.

"I honestly thought that had only solidified a spot for me in the Top 3," he said. "I didn't think it would be enough to win."

Pattern Notes

Pharr's main crankbait was an H2O Express made by Academy Sports. It did a fair imitation of a Lucky Craft RC, but at a lower price.

"I couldn't afford to lose a bunch of $15 baits in those rocks," he said.

He also pitched a jig methodically and attempted to cover nearly every square foot of the 500-yard stretch of riprap. He used a full-size Zoom Brush Hog trailer.

"Most people scaled down in the tough conditions, but I went bigger to imitate the bream. I'd vary the cadence – I'd drag it around in the rocks, hop it or swim it away from the ledge.

"I caught the 5-pounder swimming it, and he annihilated it. He was the only one that bit like he was hungry."

He said his other jig bites were all extremely subtle.

"You'd feel something and you wouldn't know if (the bait was hung on) a rock, but if you gave it any time, the fish would be gone. If you felt them, it was when they were spitting it out."

Gear Notes

> Cranking gear: 8' medium-action Custom Angle Hot Rod (carbon-glass composite), Shimano Curado casting reel (6.3:1 ratio), 15-pound Seaguar InvizX fluorocarbon line, Academy Sports H2O Express shallow runner (purple perch).

> Jig gear: 7'6" extra-heavy Custom Angler Flipmaster rod, Shimano Curado casting reel (7:1), same line, 1/2-ounce Omega football jig (praying mantis), Zoom Brush Hog trailer (green-pumpkin).

> Spinnerbait gear: 7' heavy-action Custom Angle rod, Shimano Citica casting reel (6.3:1), 50-pound Spiderwire Stealth braided line, 1/2-ounce Tru-Trac Lures spinnerbait (blue/chartreuse with gold Colorado/Indiana blade combo).

The Bottom Line

Main factor in his success – "Extreme patience – I knew the fish were there and I didn't try to run-and-gun just to catch a few keepers. I stayed where one fish was bigger than the three keepers I might've caught somewhere else."

Performance edge – "I'd say the combination of the Flipmaster rod and the 7:1 Curado for the jig. Those fish were finicky and they wouldn't hold the bait, but I could reel down real fast and snatch them."

Notable

> Pharr fished the tournament out of a boat he'd borrowed from his fire captain in Shreveport (his has a blown motor).

> He finished 9th in the 2008 Open at Texoma.
