ALEXANDER CITY, Ala., Nov. 23, 2002 - Coby Carden's worst day on Lake Martin this week was still more than enough to enable the Shelby, Ala. angler to hang onto his sizeable lead and capture the BASSMASTER Alabama Southern Open.
Carden's 8 pound, 1 ounce limit gave him 36 pounds, 7 ounces for the event and earned him the $50,000 first place prize. Second place went to Michael Johnson of Talking Rock, Ga. who leaped from sixth place thanks to a 13 pound, 6 ounce limit, Saturday's largest catch. Trailing Johnson's three-day total of 28-3 were Jason Quinn, Lake Wylie, S.C., 25-6, John Crase, Lexington, Ky., 25 pounds, and Todd Auten of Lake Wylie,S.C., 21-8.
Quinn's high finish gave him the Southern Open points championship and a berth in the 2003 BASSMASTERS Classic. Other anglers making the Classic from the Southern Open were Wesley Strader of Tennessee, Auten, Johnson and Tom Hamlin, Jr. of Georgia.
In the amateur division, Wayne Isaac of Acworth, Ga. won the $24,000 prize with 17 pounds, 4 ounces. He vaulted from ninth to the winner's circle thanks to an 11-pound limit caught on Saturday. Second place went to David Brown of Montgomery, Ala. with 17-3 and John Vardaman of Anniston, Ala. was third with 16-10.
Carden caught most of his fish from Elkahattchee Creek, relying upon a Leverage Buzzbait, YUM tube, and Model 6A Bomber.
"I was persistent, fishing each piece of cover slowly and methodically," said Carden, who finished third here in 2000. "Most of the bass were on laying logs in shallow water adjacent to the creek channel."
While Carden keyed on largemouth, Johnson was catching spotted bass on main lake points by dragging a homemade 1/4-ounce jig tipped with a Zoom Fat Albert trailer in water ranging from 4 to 21 feet deep.
Quinn also targeted spotted bass on points, catching most of his fish on a 3/4-ounce Davis X-Wire spinnerbait in peacock color.
Weigh-ins were held at Wind Creek State Park.
