 The California Polytechnic team of Scott Hellesen and Damian Bean won the National Guard FLW College Fishing Western Division on the California Delta Saturday with 5-bass weighing 10 pounds, 6 ounces. The victory earned the team $10,000 to be split evenly between the university and the university’s bass-fishing club. The win also helped them advance to the Western Division Regional Championship where they could ultimately win a Ranger 177TR with a 90-horsepower engine wrapped in school colors for their school’s bass club and $25,000 for the school they represent.
“The wind made it impossible to fish,” said Bean, a junior in Forestry and Natural Resource Management. “We couldn’t do anything. After two hours of no bites we decided to make a run to Discovery Bay and that is where I caught my two monsters. I was using a Margarita Mutilator robo worm, it was awesome.”
The team spent the day here and there just trying to connect with some fish, between the wind and tide the two felt fortunate to bring in the sack they had. This was only the second time either of the team members had fished the Delta
“The tide hurt us in the end,” said Hellesen, a sophomore in Environmental Management and Protection. “The low tide carried the fish back out and it was too late for us to make another adjustment, so we were just happy with what we got.”
Rounding out the top five teams were Sacramento State – Robert Matsuura and Peter Lee (four bass, 9-13, $5,000); Chico State – Bastian Golladay and Frank Vogt (four bass, 9-6, $4,000); University of California, Davis– Mark White, and Travis Goldman (three bass, 9-1, $3,000); University of Oregon – Ross Richards and Reed Frazier (five bass, 8-1, $2,000).
