ATHENS, Ala. – Gregory W. Glouse took the win in the 2024 American Bass Anglers Professional League, Presented by Caymas Boats, South Carolina Division tournament held on March 2nd 2024 at Lake Keowee. Running out of South Cove Park in Seneca, SC, the Liberty South Carolina angler weighed in a five-bass limit weighing 15.32 pounds to secure the win. Glouse took home $2900.00 for his win.
“I caught my fish on a drop-shot using a 4-inch Zoom finesse worm in spawning creeks, said Glouse. I was catching them anywhere from 30 feet suspended to 65 feet on the bottom.”

Taking second place, Brad Benfield of Demorest GA, weighed in a five bass limit weighing 14.96 lbs. His catch was anchored by a bass weighing 4.40 lbs., which was the biggest bass for the tournament. Benfield took home a total of $1600.00 for his catch.
“I caught quite a few fish today. The big fish actually came up schooling, and I caught it on a swimbait. The other fish I caught, I was basically junk fishing. I caught some on a swimbait, a Texas rig, and a Damiki rig, said Benfield.”

Taking third place, Joe Anders of Easley SC, weighed in a five bass limit weighing 13.83 lbs. Anders took home $1000.00 for his catch.
“I targeted pre-spawn spotted bass and caught my fish using sinking glide baits and forward-facing sonar”, replied Anders.
Finishing fourth Cody Hoyle from Rutherfordton NC, weighed in a five-bass limit weighing 13.15 lbs. rounding out the top five Brady Kimbrell of Piedmont SC, weighed in five bass weighing 13.07 lbs.
At the end of the season, the best anglers from across the nation will advance to the 2024 Ray Scott Championship, which will be held at Lake Eufaula in April 2025.
