Boater Quincy Houchin of Mabelvale, Ark., brought a two-day total of nine bass to the scale weighing 23 pounds, 5 ounces to win the Phoenix Bass Fishing League presented by T-H Marine Arkie Division Super-Tournament at Lake Hamilton. For his victory, Houchin earned $13,460, which includes the lucrative FLW PHOENIX BONUS contingency payout.

“There were a lot of great anglers fishing this event with a vast amount of experience on this lake, so it feels good to pull out a win,” says Houchin. “I was in second place at the end of day one and was worried about being so close to a victory and losing it. That would have been a hard pill to swallow, but it come through.

“I started out yesterday with a (River2Sea) Whopper Plopper and covered a ton of water fishing shallow, windy points, rock and brown grass,” Houchin continues. “I actually lost my fifth fish several times Sunday, but finished strong to bring home the fifth BFL win in my career.”

 

The top 10 boaters:

1st: Quincy Houchin of Mabelvale, Ark., nine bass, 23-5, $13,460
