Feeback and Watts win top prize and an additional $1,000 for using a Garmin on their boat.
Muskegon Lake was the site of the West Michigan State Regional, yet the top finishers all went to different lakes for their catch. The two top teams made long runs to Pentwater and the third team went to White Lake.
Taking first prize with a 20.23lb limit was Aaron Feeback and Don Watts. In addition to winning the guaranteed top prize of $2,000, they won an additional $1,000 for using a Garmin fishfinder during their win. They made a sixty mile run and focused on smallmouth. "We were using tubes with Kustom Kicker Fat Boy tube jigheads. It was an early morning bite and we were basically done by 11:00," said Watts.
The second place team of Zach Wiggers and Dan Pracko had 20.18lbs and according to the winners, they fished in the same area to get their catch.
Third place was Pablo Gonzales and Kevin Fletcher who focused on largemouth in White Lake. "It was a tough bite, but we fished jigs all day and caught enough to qualify for the championship," said Fletcher.
Congrats to all of the top teams!
