Don Philpot wins on Colebrook

ATHENS, Ala. –    Don Philpot won the Bass Pro American Fishing Tour presented by American Bass Anglers, Connecticut Division 6 tournament, held on Colebrook Reservoir.  

Running out of the State/Army Corps ramp landing near the town of Winsted Connecticut, the Shohola Pennsylvania angler caught his limit of smallmouth bass weighing 12.70 pounds. Included in his bag was a 4.34 smallmouth for the big bass of the tournament. Don said he caught all of his bedding fish by staying in one small cove for the entire day.  He used senko’s to catch the smaller males and lizards for his two bigger females.  For the victory he took home $490.00 in cash for both awards.

In second among the competitors Rich Holmberg from Bayport New York caught his 5 smallmouth bass limit weighing 10.10 pounds.  Rich said he too targeted bedding fish catching them all on a 2.8 inch Keitech swimbait. He pocketed $212.00 for his efforts. 

Taking third place and just out of the money, AOY current leader Mark Watkins caught a 5 fish limit of smallmouth that weighed 9.04 pounds.
