The event, hosted by American Bass Anglers, brought out some of the best regional talent as anglers competed for cash prizes and crucial points toward divisional and national standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown led the field with an impressive five-fish limit weighing 17.81 pounds, securing the top spot and a $500 payday.
