Team Doug Akin/Wayne Dial wins the Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Tournament Rewards on November 2, 2008. The team was fishing out of a 2008 Nitro Z9 that was purchased at R&W Marine in Elizabethtown, KY.

 

Team Akin/Dial had a (5) fish limit total of 19.30lbs to win 1st place out of a 52 boat field at the KY-1 Twin Lakes Fall division on Barren River Lake.

 

The team’s fish were caught on Hawg Caller Jigs fishing creek channel banks with stumps 3-4’ deep.

 

“I first want to thank GOD and my partner for our win! We had a good and bad day of fishing. We lost some good fish and thought we had lost the tournament. But, we didn’t give up! We just fished harder!”

                        -Doug Akin

 

By fishing a U.S.A. Bassin tournament with 30 or more boats, out of Nitro boat and placing 1st in the event; the team is eligible for the BPS Tournament Rewards bonus of $650 cash/$100 Bass Pro Shops Reward Points.

 

“I think U.S.A. Bassin tournaments are run very professionally. I appreciate having fall tournaments to fish. These tournaments are a great opportunity for amateurs.”

 

“The Rewards program is a great opportunity to receive some extra money to off set the costs of fishing. They have the weekend angler in mind!”

 

“I like everything about my Z9! It handles very well in rough water and it won’t beat you to death under these conditions. It is laid out very well; a great fishing platform with lots of storage. The Mercury Pro 250 XS runs great with lots of power and fuel economy.”
