Zach Caudle and Joe Landry of LSU-Shreveport did it again … they tipped the scales to win the College Bass West Super Regional for the second consecutive year.
It was the closest victory in College Bass history with only 6/100ths of a pound separating the number one and two teams. On day one, Caudle and Landry finished in 24th place after weighing in a mere 10.17 pounds. On day two, they brought in a 19.10-pound bag making their two-day total 29.27 pounds edging out Vaughn Humerickhouse and Jayme Bristow of Friends University, who held the top spot after day one. Humerickhouse and Bristow placed second with a two-day total of 29.21 pounds.
Texas A&M’s Tyler James and Matt Day claimed third place with a two day total of 28.74 pounds. Local favorites Mason Holmes and Michael Huss of the University of Texas-Tyler landed in fourth with 26.64 pounds and Tarleton State’s John Anderson and Brandon Foard rounded out the top five with 26.23 pounds.
