ATHENS, Ala. – Brent Anderson took the win for the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Weekend Series, operated by American Bass Anglers, Kentucky Division 15 tournament , held Aug. 18, 2012, on Kentucky Lake.
Running out of Kentucky Dam Village , the Kingston Springs, TN, angler bagged a five bass limit weighing 16.51 pounds bringing home a check for $2,740. Anderson is a Triton Gold owner with a 2012 Mercury Motor Guide package earning the full Triton Gold Bonus in the amount of $7,000. He anchored his bag today with a 4.97-pounder.
“I spent a day Wednesday in the hydrilla down south and I found about a 100-yard stretch, it was loaded with 2 to 2 and a half pounders but there was this one little spot that I caught a 7-pounder out of. And at ten today, I had been fishing deep all day and I hadn’t even set the hook, I hadn’t even got a bite and I was like, maybe I can go catch 10 or 12 pounds off my hydrilla and that ended up being the deal.”
In second, Tom O’Bryant of Cedar Grove, TN, landed five bass weighing 15.80 pounds for a payday of $1,369.
“We were fishing grass all day long and had between 50 and 70 keepers. We caught fish all day long on spinnerbait between 5-7 feet deep and we were on the main lake about 70 miles south.”
Joel Trovillion of Grantsburg, IL, took a close third among the boaters with five bass for 15.48 pounds.
Rounding out the top four, David Gnewikow of Mount Juliet, TN, also landed a five bass limit for 15.37 pounds. He anchored his bag with a 4.28 pound lunker.

“I fished with Tom O’Bryant and I don’t think I need to say anymore. He had him a honey-hole down south and between us; we probably had a minimum of 60 keepers, close to a 100-fish day.”
Carlton Waddington of Greenwood, IN, took second with the co-anglers bringing a limit of three bass for a total 11.77 pounds including a 4.47-pounder.
