There are a lot of FLW Tour pros and co-anglers who were really interested to see what it took to win this past weekend’s Triton Owners Tournament. Kentucky Lake is off limits right now to the FLW anglers. Travis
Cockburn and Jacob Zeigler won the
12th annual Triton Owners Tournament, held June 3-4, 2011, on Kentucky
Lake.
Besting the other 308 boats in the tournament, Cockburn and Zeigler brought in five bass weighing
29.12 pounds for a 5.82-pound average to seal the victory. On the first
day of the event open only to anglers owning Triton boats and their
partners, Cockburn and Zeigler held fourth place with 22.91 pounds. They
finished with a 10-bass two-day limit weighing 52.03 pounds. Their
largest fish weighed 5.90 pounds, putting $7,000 into their winning
hands.
“On the first day, we ran south and caught seven keepers in our first
spot,” Cockburn said. “From there, we went north and caught a couple
fish to cull up. Late in the day, we pulled up on a ledge and found some
schoolers. On Day 1, we probably caught about 12 keepers.”
“We were throwing big Berkley Power Worms in green pumpkin and sexy shad
Strike King crankbaits,” Zeigler added. “On Day 2, we went north and
fished main lake ledges over shell beds in about 14 feet of water. By 9
a.m., we had everything. We caught about nine keepers on the final day.”
