GALLERY: Thrift scores big and banks $100K

MONROE-WEST MONROE, La. – Bryan Thrift may not have been at the top of SCORETRACKER®, but he was the biggest winner of General Tire Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops in terms of money won. The North Carolina angler made it count with his only catch of the Championship Round; a 9-pound, 6-ounce largemouth to top the field and win the $100,000 big bass bonus. Couple that with his other winnings for finishing in seventh place, and he’s taking home more prize money than anyone else at Heavy Hitters.
