MASSENA, N.Y. — Family, friends, and fans joined Michael Neal in celebrating his second career event win on the Bass Pro Tour at Minn Kota Stage Seven Presented by Humminbird on the St. Lawrence River. Seven must be Neal’s lucky number as he also won Stage Seven of the 2021 Bass Pro Tour on Lake St. Clair.
It was a hard-fought battle for the Tennessee angler as he and John Hunter were neck-and-neck but Neal prevailed with 28 bass weighing 88 pounds, 14 ounces after pulling ahead in Period 3. For his efforts, Neal earned $100,000, the coveted trophy to add to his collection, and memories to last a lifetime.
Neal and the rest of the Top 10 anglers for Stage Seven hit the stage for a Post Game show to share their thoughts on the final event of the 2024 season.
The next season of the Bass Pro Tour will begin on Jan. 30, 2025 with Stage One at Lake Conroe in Conroe, Texas.
