ATHENS, Ala. \u2013 Seth Ellis took the field in the 2024 American Bass Anglers Professional League, Presented by Caymas Boats, Virginia Division tournament held on March 9th 2024 on Kerr Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running out of Nutbush Park in Henderson NC, the Durham North Carolina angler weighed in a five bass limit weighing 17.56 pounds to secure the win. Ellis\u2019 limit was anchored by a bass weighing 5.75 pounds which also secured him big bass for the event. Ellis took home $4580.00 for his catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I caught my fish today around wind blown rock and laydowns on a spinnerbait said Ellis.
All of my fish came out of a foot or less of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking second place, Lee Williams of Bullock NC, weighed in a five bass limit weighing 16.42 lbs. His catch was anchored by a bass weighing 5.18lbs. Williams\u2019 finish earned him $2250.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I caught quite a few fish today. Everything was caught shallow on a spinnerbait around mud and rock said Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taking third place, Bryan Cottrell of Farmville VA, weighed in a five bass limit weighing 16.37 lbs. Cottrell took home $1500.00 for his catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was really wet today said Cottrell. My fish came dirt shallow on a craw colored crankbait. I caught a lot of fish and probably culled around six times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing fourth Ryan Roller from Clover VA, weighed in a five bass limit weighing 16.23 lbs. and rounding out the top five Mark Lamb of Wake Forest NC, weighed in five bass weighing 15.51 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
