Watkins Wins April Tourney on Choke

Posted on April 24, 2024 Written by dleach

This past Sunday, April 21st at Choke Canyon saw 19 anglers square off in the fourth event of the TBN South Region Individual Trail. Overcast skies and windy conditions gusting to 40 throughout the morning, and finishing the day with bluebird skies made for some tough fishing.

Returning to his winning ways, and holding off the field, Ryan Watkins brought 5 fish to the scales for 13.91 anchored by a solid 6.53 kicker.

>p>Just over a pound back, Cliff Martinez’ full creel weighed in at 12.75 earning Cliff a second place finish. He anchored his 5 fish limit with a solid 6.64 tournament BB winner.

Less than a half pound back and due to a lost fish penalty, Geno Littlewood brought five fish to weigh-in for a 12.67 total and a third place finish. See full results and year-to-date standings.

Ryan Watkins, first place.

Cliff Martinez, second place.

Ryan and Cliff.

The next tournament on the South Region individual trail will be May 19 on Lake Somerville.

Look for Ira to work his way back up the ladder and be a contender for AOY.

On 18 February round 2 of the Texas Bass Nation South Region individual trail saw 19 anglers compete at Choke Canyon Reservoir. Post front conditions kept the winds light and temperatures in the 50’s under bluebird skies.

When the scales closed it was Ryan Watkins standing on top of the podium. Fishing a drop shot he found four fish totaling 13.31 pounds, including an 8.01 pound girly that was good for the tournament big bass! Second place went to David Day that got on a pattern with a Texas rigged grub, bringing in a 5 fish limit for 9.53 pounds. Third place was Thomas Ferro with 7.78 pounds. See full results and year-to-date standings.
