Chaves Wins Bass Fishing Tournament on Columbia River

May 15, 2009
B.A.S.S. News - Archived

TRI CITIES, Wash. - Byron Chaves rode a borrowed jet boat to victory Friday, claiming the individual title in the 11-state BASS Federation Nation Western Divisional bass fishing tournament on the Columbia River. The 33-year-old angler from Salem, Ore., amassed 32 pounds, 15 ounces.

   Chaves boated 16-13 on Friday, during the weather-shortened tournament. Hogue, who was in fifth place after Day One, finished second with 31-13.

   Using a jet boat loaned to him by friend Larry Cross, the champion caught all of his bass in the shallow water of the Yakima River, a tributary of the Columbia River.

   "I thought that if I could pull out another kicker fish, the way that I did on Wednesday, that I'd have a chance," Chaves said. "And, as it turned out, I did."

   Chaves, a full-time telecommunications professional, brought that kicker, a 5-6 smallmouth bass, to the boat at 8:45 a.m. He had a limit for the day at 9 a.m. The Oregon angler caught most of his bass on a Reaction Innovations Smallie Beaver in goby color.

   "I caught my fish in 1 to 4 feet of water, by casting into the (current) seam and then pulling the bait against the back eddy," he said. "Except for that big fish today, all of my bass were pre-spawn."

   Rounding out the top five were John Mace of Kennewick, Wash., in third with 28-13, Jim Garrett of Moscow, Idaho, fourth with 28-12 and Chris Lambert of Olympia, Wash., fifth with 28-11.

   As the tournament's top angler, Chaves advances to the BASS Federation Nation Championship, the ultimate amateur bass fishing championship to be held Oct. 28-30 on the Harris Chain of Lakes out of Tavares, Fla.

   First-place anglers for the other 10 states also advanced to the championship, with an opportunity to earn a berth in the 2010 Bassmaster Classic on Lay Lake and Birmingham, Ala., scheduled for Feb. 19-21. They include Jeff Guerette of Glendale, Ariz.; Nick Wood of Yreka, Calif.; Owen Lounsbury of St. Maries, Idaho; Ben Grande of Las Vegas, Nev.; Paul Reutlinger of Salt Lake City, Utah; Leroy Starling of Missoula, Mont.; Hogue of Pasco, Wash.; Sam Russell of Salt Lake City, Utah; Massey of Lakewood, Colo.; and Rizuto of Navajo Dam, N.M.

   With a cumulative weight of 304 pounds, 4 ounces, Washington won the team title, as well as well as a $30,000 Skeeter bass boat rigged with a Yamaha outboard motor. Anchored by Chaves, Oregon took second with 220-7 and Colorado finished third with 201-7.

   On this final day of the tournament, young anglers also took to the water, as they fished for the right to advance to the Junior Bassmasters World Championship. Their weights were added to the cumulative weights of their respective states. Jake Cook of Kennewick, Wash., boated 14-4 to win in the 15-18 age group, while Nick Jakobi of Denver, Colo., won the 11-14 age group with 5-8. Both qualified for the Junior Bassmasters World Championship to be held in conjunction with the Federation Nation Championship in October. 

   The Western Divisional is the second of six regional qualifiers for the Federation Nation Championship. Next on the schedule is the Central Divisional set for June 22-26 on Greers Ferry Lake out of Greers Ferry, Ark.
