Schroeder and Cox Land $30,000 Bass in Oakley Big Bass Events
A 5-pound bass and a 7-pound bass both earn anglers new boats and cash
|
The 2012 Oakley Big Bass Tour headed east to North Carolina and Virginia with stops on Lake Norman and Smith Mountain Lake in the month of April. Record numbers of anglers turned out to compete in both events, and the fishing didn’t disappoint.
“The growth of these two events has been nothing short of amazing,” said Louis Wellen with Oakley Sports Marketing. “Our east coast anglers have really embraced the big bass format, and it’s evident by the response at these venues.”
Chad Schroeder topped a field of more than 400 anglers at Lake Norman to win the Jamie McMurray Big Bass Classic with a 5.47-pound big bass. Phillip Cox landed a 7.18-pound big bass that took the honors at Smith Mountain Lake with more than 500 anglers competing in the Blue Ridge Big Bass Classic. Both champions took home fully rigged Nitro Z7 bass boats powered by Mercury outboards along with their hourly cash, landing each a total payday of $30,000.
Up next, the Tour heads to the heartland with the 3rd Annual Kevin VanDam Big Bass Classic on Table Rock Lake in Missouri and the 1st Annual Quantum Big Bass Classic on Ft. Gibson Lake in Oklahoma. For more information visit, Oakleybigbass.com.
