Baumgardner made a Run for the 1 Million Dollar Prize at
the 2008 Forrest L. Wood Championship
Chris Baumgardner of Gastonia, N.C., reeled in four keeper
bass on day 3 for 10 pounds, 9 ounces putting him in fourth place.
The Snickers pro is fishing a Zoom Horny Toad and a buzzbait around shallow
cover to catch his fish.
“Some of them are on grass, but some of them are coming off nothing looking
areas, too,” Baumgardner said. “Some of the best banks are just little flat
banks with nothing on them.”
“I struggled for a while and then made a move down to some clearer water and
that seemed to help my bite,” he added.
Chris has shown he is one of the Best Ranger Pro's
on the water today with making the FLW Championship from hundreds of pro's
on the circuit, he is a true Hero of Bass Fishing....

 Alex
Davis- Pro-Staff Member & Guide
Click on link below for details
Alex was chosen from 100 applicants
of fine young fisherman by our staff to represent Team Denver Marine
this year.
Alex
lives in Albertville, AL on Lake Guntersville.
His tournament record and
that info isn't the longest since he lived in Colorado. Alex plans on fishing
the Bama BFL's in 2006 and the Bass Southern Opens in 2006, but just
plan on fishing all the wildcats and small tournaments he can this year
(50 -60 ) boats. Alex also plan on learning the surrounding lakes so next
year I can excel in the BFL and Southern Opens. For now he's won around
600 dollars and have 2 club tournament wins and 5 2nd place finishes and
10 top 5's.
|
The pics are from the last few weeks. Two weeks ago I fished a FOM
tournament and ended up with 10 with 15.89 their was 44 boats. The tues
after that fished a 20 boat wildcat and came in third with 10.55. Last
tues fished another tues night tournament and got first with 17.25 witht
hte big fish of the tournament at 6-4. The tournaments run from 6-9 and
2nd had 10 lbs and third had 6 lbs. My other sponsor Kistler Rods called
me on Wed and want me to take out Scott Martin prefishing for the FLW Tour
stop on Wheeler but he will be locking to Guntersville. He came in 2nd at
last years FLW Tour Championship and has won 3 FLW Tour Events. He is
Rolands Martins son and is on Rangers National Staff also sponsored by
Chevy and more. So that will be a fun experience and I think he will be
staying with us for a while. The pics are from recently and the one is the
big fish from the tournament the other night. The link is to the results
with pics from the Tues night tournament. I was wondering if I could get
some business cards to pass around, and give one to Scott because I think
he might be in your neck of the woods soon and if he needs anything he
could have a place to go. Also could I get some Team Denver Marine t
shirts in Med and Large and a Team Denver Marine Sticker for my truck
because I am getting a Chevy Tahoo and need one for it. Thanks for
everything I appreciate what you have done for me and will remember who
helped me out and got me in my first Ranger when I make it. Just wanting
to tell you how the fishing been going.
