Dave Lefebre captured the 2009 Toyota Texas Bass Classic in dramatic fashion after three solid days of fishing. Three other anglers finished within one pound of Lefebre's 46 lb 12 oz weight. Full statistics are below.
The scoring feed from the Lake is frozen until the final weigh-in at 3:30 today. Word from the Lake is that only 4 ounces separates the top 3 anglers and the leaders are tied. Should make for a dramatic finish and display on the stage. Come out and check it out for $20 and enjoy Julianne Hough's concert before and Josh Turner's concert afterwards.
The big fish came out for Day Two, with the three largest fish caught out on Lake Conroe this weekend bagged on Saturday. Top-5 standings below.
Sean Hoernke - 9 lbs 8 oz (Day 2)
Michael Wurm - 8 lbs 8 oz (Day 2)
Tommy Biffle - 7 lbs 12 oz (Day 2)
Fred Contaoi - 7 lbs 8 oz (Day 1)
Bobby Lane - 7 lbs 4 oz (Day 2)
Keith Caka - 7 lbs 4 oz (Day 2)
Local pro angler Russell Cecil from Willis, Texas had a strong second day showing and moved up to 13th in the standings, missing the Tundra Ten for the final day by only one pound.
There have been 13 fish over 21 inches caught during day two action at the Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Conroe. The fish over 21 inches will be shown to the crowd on the event stage during this afternoon's weigh-in from 3:30 - 5:00. All other fish are caught, recorded on the boat by an independent judge, and released back into the lake. Five fish over 14 inches can go towards each angler's cumulative weight total each day.
Local pro Sean Hoernke, from The Woodlands, has caught a 9 lb 8 oz bass today on Lake Conroe. Currently, it holds the big bass mark for the weekend.
Saturday will be Day Two of the 2009 Toyota Texas Bass Classic World Championship. 60 anglers will compete over three days for the right to be called a "World Champion." A guide of anglers can be downloaded in pdf form below.
