One Man Team Wins 2012 National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship

alfcllc — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:37:43 +0000

When Ryan Patterson cast himself into a league of his own as the only one-man qualifying team to catch a spot in the 2012 National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship on April 13-15, he had no idea what he was about to reel in.

When it was all said and done, Patterson reeled in the FLW National Championship, a $100,000 prize-package that included $50,000 cash, a Ranger 177TR with a 90-horsepower engine and $25,000 for K-State, and to top it off, an automatic berth into the 2012 Forrest Wood Cup.

Patterson said the prize-fishing boat will be covered in K-State decor before Ranger sends the boat to Manhattan in the next couple of weeks.

FLW College Fishing National Championship Winner Credits Equipment for His Victory

alfcllc — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:25:03 +0000

The National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship on Lake Murray is a team event. Twenty-five teams from across the country competed in 20 qualifying events and five conference championship tournaments, and the top five teams from each conference competed for the title of national champion in this prestigious three-day nationally televised event. Teams go through the grueling season in the hopes of sharing the spotlight and title of national champion with their teammate.

However, the Kansas State University team of Ryan Patterson of Goddard, Kan., wasn’t much of a team. Patterson’s teammate and brother transferred from Kansas State, so Patterson fished the championship event alone. And he didn’t even weigh a five-bass limit of fish every day. And he did the unthinkable by claiming the title of national champion.

On Sunday Patterson weighed five bass for 18 pounds, 1 ounce for a three-day total of 14 bass weighing 46-15 to claim the national championship title. Patterson took the title by 2 pounds, 4 ounces. For his efforts, Patterson received $50,000 cash, aRanger 177TR with a 90-horsepower engine for his school’s bass club and $25,000 for Kansas State University.

Patterson said his equipment was “crucial” to his victory. He used G Loomis swimbait rods in a 7-foot, 1-inch version and a 7-foot, 3-inch version, Shimano Chronarch reels, 14-pound-test Sunline Fluorocarbon, YUM Money Minnows with a Lazer Trokar hook and Zoom Flukes with a Lazer Trokar hook.
