February 29th, 2008

    How many bass anglers do you know who went fishing Sunday and came home with a half-million dollars?

    Alton Jones of Waco, Texas did just that when he won the Bassmasters Classic at South Carolina’s Hartwell Lake.

    Fishing his 11th Classic the veteran came back from 10th place on first day of the three-day test of the best to claim the $500,000 top prize in the biggest event in bass fishing.

    As it turned out, Jones' bag of five bass weighing 13 pounds, 7 ounces was the third biggest in the 25-angler field for Sunday's final day, and the best among the top seven finishers. His three-day total was 49-7.
    The Classic victory is the fifth Bass Anglers Sportsmen Society tournament win for Jones, whose highest previous Classic finish before this year was 7th place in 2000 and 2003.
