PLATTSBURGH, NY -The prevailing smallmouth pattern that was so good to top anglers in the Bassmaster Northern Open bass fishing tournament on Lake Champlain yielded all it had by Day 3, forcing participants - including winner Joe Lucarelli - to change strategy and move to different waters.
Although Lucarelli didn't move far from the community hole that vaulted him to the top of the leader board the first two days, the adjustment was key to his victory. His new water was less than five minutes away and yielded four keeper bass, resulting in his first BASS tournament win.
With it, New Hampshire's Lucarelli took home a $15,000 check and a fully-rigged Triton boat, valued at $38,000.
"I went to that community hole and something didn't feel right there," said Lucarelli, who weighed in 56 pounds, seven ounces over the three-day tournament. "I had two other spots and decided to go to one very close to that community hole. I, essentially won the tournament off that spot."
The success of the Lucarelli lineage didn't stop with Joe. His father Steve Lucarelli, 56, was overshadowed by his son's victory, but maintained a steady three-day pace of 53 pounds, two ounces, earning him a fifth place finish.
"It's a unique concept that we use," the elder Lucarelli said. "We fished the same areas and we share the same holes. It worked though, and I couldn't be any prouder."
The Lucarellis enjoyed a minute-long embrace after Joe was announced the champion. The younger Lucarelli's pattern remained relatively similar throughout the tournament. Like most of the field, he threw drop shots and Carolina rigs in search of smallmouths. He said on Day 3, he slowly worked a green pumpkin Power Lizard on a Carolina rig over rock piles.
Lucarelli had to catch an impressive limit to fend off Friday's leader, William Roe, (54-10) of Massachusetts. Roe finished in second place.
"I'm really proud of myself even though I fell short," Roe said. "I had my work cut out to hold onto the lead because Joe and the rest of these guys can catch some fish."
In third and with the most impressive bag of the day was Michigan's Mark Zona who climbed from 12th place with a limit of 19 pounds, 12 ounces.
"This is the only bass tournament I am fishing this year, so I am happy with my showing," said Zona, who took a break from filming Loudmouth Bass to fish Champlain. Loudmouth Bass airs on ESPN2 Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. EST.
Alabama's Kotaro Kiriyama, who was tied with Lucarelli on Friday in second place, ultimately slipped to fourth place (53-7).
"I lost the two biggest fish of the day that I had on," Kiriyama said. "I did catch a limit, and you always have to be happy with that."
On the non-boater side, Vermont's Doug Wilson (45-8) earned the victory with a limit of 16 pounds, 4 ounces. He moved up from fourth place and eked out the victory over Ohioan and Friday's leader Joe Ritzenthaler (44-11) by 13 ounces.
"I had outstanding pairings," said Wilson, who won a $25,000 Triton boat. "Today, I borrowed a bait from my boater, and I didn't lose a fish all day."
Rounding out the top five on the non-boater side were New Jersey's Steven Brinster (44-5) in third place. Tim Gavek (42-8) finished in fourth, and Delaware's Andrew Dick (42-5) finished in fifth.
A pair of New Yorkers won't go home empty-handed. On the boater side, New York's Richard Doyle and Connecticut's Ryan Hawthorne tied for the Big Bass of the Day with bass weighing 4-11. They each earned $500.
On the non-boater side, New York's William Beekman caught a 4-14 fish, earning him an extra $400 and Big Bass honors. Ohioan Jamie Fabian (5-11) will take home an extra $1,000 in addition to his 33rd place finish for the Big Bass of the tournament.
This was the second of three Northern Open events that will send the top anglers to the Bassmaster Open Championship in December (Dec. 1-4; Alabama River). The top five from that championship are invited to the Classic in February 2006 on Lake Toho near Kissimmee.
The last Northern Open event is Sept. 15-17 on Oneida Lake in Syracuse, N.Y.
