GEICO anglers pros Carr, Bradley qualify for Bassmaster WS National Championship are heading to the Bassmaster Weekend Series National Championship after successfully qualifying for the prestigious event at the final regional tournament on Lake Erie.

Bradley and Carr had big final days at the two-day tournament that ended Saturday. Bradley finished 42nd out of 83 anglers with 16.73 pounds of fish, including 11.87 pounds on Saturday.

Carr made a big jump, too, landing 17.46 pounds on Saturday for a two-day total of 24.28 pounds that moved him all the way up to 18th. Included in his haul was a big fish of 4.3 pounds.

The top 50 anglers from the regional tournament – featuring top finishers from the Northeast Division of the Bassmasters Weekend Series – advance to the national championship tournament, which takes place Nov. 9-12 on the Santee Cooper in South Carolina.

"I know it means a lot to GEICO, and I'm so happy to get them there," said Carr, who reached his fourth national championship in five years. "Christiana made it in, too, so it's a big deal for GEICO."

Weather conditions on Lake Erie prevented anglers from fishing the entire lake on Friday, and most didn't catch the five-bass limit. Bradley brought in two for 4.87 pounds on the first day. Tournament officials then opened up part of the lake on Saturday, and Bradley did much better.
