Major League Fishing has crowned a new champion, wrapping up its 5-day REDCREST Championship on Grand Lake.
Bobby Lane from Lakeland, Florida earned Major League Fishing's coveted REDCREST Champion title and the $300,000 prize.
“This whole week has been the biggest defining moment of my whole, entire career,” Lane said, "Nothing has felt sweeter in my life… to win a huge event like this, on this stage in the last nail-biting minutes was awesome."
Lane battled back in the third and final period where he made a big catch to put him closer to the top spot |

"Are you kidding me? On the championship day I can't find a 6-pound 3-ounce bass,” said Lane.
Then with two minutes left in the day, a 2-pound bass put him in the lead.
"I weigh it twice, it didn't weigh… reweighed it for the final and third weigh and it went 2-1 to 2 even and it locked in at 2 pounds and it doesn't get any better than that,” Lane said.
Lane’s wife and three children were watching back in Tulsa and as soon as he found out he’d officially won, he had a message for them from his boat on Grand Lake. |
