The first leg of the 2016 California Tournament Trail (CTT) pro-am circuit wrapped upJanuary 16-17 at Lake Oroville. After four years of drought, we’re finally having a real winter trying to fill the lake all at once. As the newly crowned amateur champion, Sean Widger of Livermore put it: “It was nasty.” This made fishing, boat-runs, and on-the-water coverage challenging, even during the practice period.
Anglers stuck it out despite the weather, with virtually every boat weighing in, as they should, in a great display of sportsmanship and support. In the end, it was Chico State college angler; Travis Bounds of Roseville getting his first win as a pro taking home $2,600 by edging Chad Frie by the smallest of margins. Well-known veteran, Greg Gutierrez finished third, less than two pounds back, after leading day-one. Danny Cross finished 4th and last year’s AOY, JR Wright, finished 5th in a strong field of 56 pros.
