Big Fred taking aim at Clear Lake

For the first time in 11 months, FLW touring pro, Big Fred Contaoi, has returned to California to fish the FLW Western Series’ National Guard Western tourney at Clear Lake. Fred was excited to get back to his home lake but found that it was like fishing a totally new body of water due to the fact that the lake level is down 6 feet from when he last fished here.

In practice, he scrambled to put a game plan together and then on Wednesday, the tournament’s opening round, he turned it on and got on a good area of fish and landed over 30 bass. His best 5 checked in at 14 pounds, 2 ounces. A good start to the event, considering most anglers figured that 13 pounds a day would be enough to get a check.

Stay tuned for more updates from the tournament…
