Lexington, SC April 29, 2008 –
South Lake Marine
of Lexington announced today that their Triton Pro Staff, Craig
Fredrychowski won the TBF National Championship held on Lake Wylie,
April 23 – 26, 2008.
Fredrychowski of Lexington, SC, representing the Southern Division
overcame a 2-pound, 7-ounce deficit on the final day thanks to a
five bass limit weighing 7-07 that boosted his three-day total to 14
bass weighing 26-11. The win included a $10,000 prize package that
included co-angler entry into the 2008 Forrest Wood Cup held on Lake
Murray in August for a chance to fish for as much as $50,000. He
also earned a berth into the All-American along with the top
co-angler from each TBF division for a chance to fish for as much as
$70,000 in Hot Springs, Arkansas on Lake Hamilton in May.
“Qualifying for the Forrest Wood Cup that is being held on my home
waters of Lake Murray in August is really a dream come true,”
Fredrychowski said. “Everything just felt right this week, I had
great partners and I owe everything to them.” Fredrychowski stated,
“I started this run last year by being points leader in South
Carolina and then securing one of the top 2 spots for South Carolina
at the Divisnal Tournament held in Alabama last September. The
Championship was just the next step. Even though I am not use to
fishing out of the back of the boat as a co-angler this tournament
really worked in my favor.”
“As a Co-Angler it is often difficult to secure a limit each day
especially when the the bite relies on site and bed fishing,
Fredrychowski said. “I contributed 90% of my fish this week to a 5
¼ oz hand poured worm by
Cache Custom
Lures and a variety of shaky heads by covering a lot of water
out the back of the boat while my boater concentrated on fishing
beds.”
The $2 million Forrest Wood Cup, presented by Castrol will be held
in Lake Murray August 14-17, 2008. The event is expected to draw
thousands of bass fishing fans to the Midlands region. Lake Murray
has produced many Pro Bass Anglers and it is our pleasure to have
one of the next upcoming Pro Anglers on our Pro Staff here at
South Lake Marine
