Last week boater Brad McCulley of Batesville, Miss., earned a fully rigged Ranger 198VX and a new Chevy truck Saturday as the winner of the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Regional Championship here on Kentucky Lake. The top 40 boaters and the top 40 co-anglers from the Buckeye, Hoosier, Mississippi and Mountain divisions competed in the three-day event launching out of Kentucky Dam Marina. McCulley’s winning three-day catch of 15 bass weighed 37 pounds, 6 ounces. In addition to the new truck and boat, McCulley earned a ticket to the 2008 $1 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League All-American presented by Chevy on the Connecticut River in Hartford, Conn., May 29-31. With a top boater award of $140,000 and a top co-angler award of $70,000, the All-American is one of the most prestigious tournaments in bass fishing. The winning boater and co-angler at the All-American will also advance to the $2 million 2008 Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Murray in Columbia, S.C., Aug. 14-17, where pros will fish for a top award of $1 million – the sport’s biggest payday.
