Evan Kung Wins Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River in Historic Tournament
WHY IT MATTERS
Kung's win marks a significant achievement in the Bassmaster Elite Series, and the St. Lawrence River's performance in the tournament solidifies its reputation as one of the best bass fishing spots in the country, with a goby-fed smallmouth population and a stacked Elite Series field pushing each other to new heights.
What happened
Evan Kung made a stunning comeback to win the Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River, capping a week of consistent fishing and a historic number of Century Belts awarded.
Nine anglers crossed the 100-pound mark, the most in Bassmaster history. Kung's win was a result of his simple and repeatable pattern, using a 95% drop shot, including a still-unreleased Great Lakes Finesse prototype bait.
He thanked his support system, including sponsors, friends, and family, for their encouragement throughout the tournament.
