Bobby Lane Captures PAA Tour Team Challenge Title

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Bobby Lane grew up in Florida. It's where he learned to fish, but lately the fishing in his home state hasn't been kind – until now. The Berkley pro and tournament partner Gerald Brown won the inaugural Bass Pro Shops PAA Tour Team Challenge on Lake Toho this past weekend.

With a combined total of 64.64 pounds, the team captured the $100,000 worth of cash and prizes along with two new Nitro Z-8 and Z-7 boats with Mercury 225 Optimax and XS outboards.

"It's about time I came away with a victory here," said Lane. "It got pretty tough on Saturday, but Gerald and I were able to stick it out and capitalize on the bites we had. We pretty much sight fished for the most part, but we were able to also fish amongst the lily pads for some big bites."

The Lakeland, Fla., native was casting lily pads with a 6.25-inch HAVOC Bottom Hopper and pitching a HAVOC Craw Fatty in Okochobee Craw color. Utilizing the speed of the Revo SX 7:1.1 reel and the 8-foot, heavy action Abu Garcia Villain, Lane caught two fish during the tournament that went over 10 pounds.

"The fishing got a bit tougher on Saturday, but we were able to fight through it for some pretty big bites," Lane continued. "The big fish came on the Bottom Hopper and Craw Fatty. The benefits these HAVOC baits have are action and color. The proper pairing of the two key elements really helped me get through the tough times."

Lane's next tournament comes on a lake that he is very familiar with during the FLW Open. The Berkley pro looks to continue the hot streak on Lake Okeechobee February 9th – 12th.
