Pro Christopher Lane of Guntersville, Ala., caught a five-bass limit weighing 16 pounds, 13 ounces Saturday to win the final Stren Series Southeast Division tournament on Lake Guntersville with a three-day total of 15 bass weighing 62 pounds, 4 ounces. For his victory, Lane earned $23,648 cash.

"It was an awesome day," Lane said. "I didn't get a lot of bites today, but I was able to stay focused and caught as many as I could. My biggest surprise came yesterday when I caught a 6- and 7-pounder on back-to-back casts."

Lane fished shallow grassy water, no deeper than 3-feet. He was using a Gambler Ugly Otter and Cane Toad for baits to catch the majority of his fish this tournament.

Rounding out the top five pros were JT Palmore of Gasburg, Va., (15 bass, 57-1, $9,459); Gerald Swindle of Warrior, Ala., (15 bass, 51-6, $7,567); Tim Buckner of Scottsboro, Ala. (15 bass, 51-4, $6,621); and Marshall Deakins of Dunlap, Tenn. (15 bass, 49-6, $5,675).

Brent Anderson or Kingston Springs, Tenn., caught the biggest bass of the tournament in the Pro Division Friday - a 7-pound, 3-ounce bass - that earned him the day's Folgers Big Bass award of $414.
