I have to apologize to the Walmart FLW tour in that they have already concluded two of their majors and we have yet to acknowledge the results and congratulate the winners of those tournaments. So, although it is belated, I would like to start by giving props to one of the finest anglers out there today.
National guard pro Brent Ehrler waited till the final day to make his move on Lake Hartwell but when the dust settled, he brought in a 20-pound, 5-ounce sack that took his total for the event to 74 pounds, 13 ounces to outdistance the second place finisher by more than 3 pounds.
In this tourney Brent caught them from 2 -50 feet deep employing a variety of techniques that included drop-shot rigs, jigs, reaction baits and the now infamous umbrella rig. He really showed how versatile an angler he is in this victory. In case you’re wondering, his most productive technique was using a combination of a jig followed by a drop-shot rig.
We have written about the Redlands Ca pro in an earlier article that showed the small ponds that he fished and began honing his skill as a kid. Obviously, he hasn’t lost any of his passion for this wonderful past time.
MVF congratulates Brent Ehrler on a great win!
