April 15, 2023, Mobile, AL: Dennis Prickett of Mobile, Alabama won the American Fishing Tour Division 41 tournament presented on April 15, 2023, by American Bass Anglers. Running out of Live Oak Landing near Bay Minette, AL, Prickett brought back five with a total weight of 6.60 pounds.
Second place was claimed by Gary Criswell with four fish that locked in the scales at 5.90 pounds. Big Bass for the tournament was a 2.44 pounder caught by Criswell.
Fishing was tough due to high muddy water from a low-pressure system that hit the Gulf Coast a few days before.
The next tournament in this division will be the two-day tournament on May 20 and 21, 2023 launching from Cliff’s Landing near Bay Minette. For more information on this event or division please contact local director Barry Woodward at 251-423-0753 or visit www.americanbassanglers.com
