Big Fred Contaoi earns a paycheck at Lewis Smith Lake
April 6, 2008
Our bud and FLW Tour pro, Big Fred Contaoi of Orange County Choppers had a solid showing this week at the second FLW Tour stop of the year. At Alabama’s Lewis Smith Lake, where anglers had to switch from sight fishing largemouth on beds to working deeper water for spotts (and back again), Big Fred hung tough and walked away with a check for $2,000.
On Day One, Big Boy caught 4 bass for 6 pounds, 9 ounces and that put him dead center of the pack, at 100th place in the field of 200. On the second day, he stepped it up and put 5 fish in the box for a total of 8-09. His two-day sack was good enough for 61st place and he just missed even better money by the thinnest of margins…
With just one more pound in his combined 2-day score, Big Fred would have cracked the top 50 and won $10,000.
Shows you how much of a game of ounces pro bassin’ is!
Next up for Freddy is the FLW Tour stop at Lake Norman in Charlotte, NC April 24-27.
