The North West Region of the Texas BASS Nation held its fifth regional event of the year on E.V. Spence. This was the first time the North West Region had visited this west Texas lake and we were glad we did. After a short weather delay due to storms in the area, all 21 anglers fishing the tournament brought fish to the scales. Almost half of the field had 5 fish limits.
Wendell Ramsey took 1st place with 16.15 lbs. Tournament director Troy Bryant was a close 2nd with 15.04 lbs. Rounding out the top three was Glenn Hahn with 14.50 lbs. for 3rd place.
The bigger fish seemed to be at a premium, but local angler Brandon Soliz knew where to look. Brandon had big fish of the tournament with a nice 5.27 lb large mouth.
The last regional stop of the year for the North West Region will be at Hubbard Creek on June 15th. The lake is completely full, the grass is plentiful, and the fishing should be hot! Don’t forget that the anglers attending will also be casting votes for the championship lake this fall. Also don’t forget to check the current standings on Texas BASS Nation website under North West Region – Tournaments.
