Mauldin Wins Old Hickory Regional

By Lisa Talmadge

Hendersonville, TN...October 10, 2009...Mark Mauldin of Knoxville, TN is one step closer to the Bassmaster Classic with his first place victory at the Southern Regional Championship earning a Triton 18 Xplorer powered by a Mercury Optimax at the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Weekend Series bass tournament held on Old Hickory Lake.  Mauldin`s two day combined weight was 27.75 pounds.

Mauldin who lives in Tennessee but only fishes Old Hickory once every couple of years managed two days of practice and said fishing was tough.  Late on his second day of practice, the winner found that a small spinnerbait fished fast around super shallow cover was the best way to get numbers of fish to bite.  Concentrating solely north of the 109 bridge, Mauldin was able to catch nine keepers on day one working the spinnerbait/shallow cover pattern.  Day two was a little slower with only seven keeper bites.  Each day he managed one bass over five pounds that was key to his victory.  The winner remarked that he caught a lot of fish but had to weed through the short ones and keep grinding all day to end up on top.  He fished his spinnerbait on a Joe Burns custom rod.

Boaters brought 764 fish to the scales with a total weight of 1434.29 pounds: second – Gil Summerlin of Guntersville, AL with 25.40; third – Drew Sanford of Springfield, MO with 23.90; fourth – Marshall Thompson of Paducah, KY with 21.24; and fifth – Andre Dickneite of Freeburg, MO with 20.79.  Overall Boater big bass award went to David Epema of Jefferson City, MO for catching a 6.79 pound largemouth.

The co-anglers brought 337 fish to the scales with a total weight of 636.37 pounds.  Jason Holloway of Auburn, KY earned first place on the co-angler side with a total weight of 14.50 pounds.  Holloway focused on quality not quantity pitching and flipping a jig behind his pro partners.  Remaining top five co-anglers were: second – Jason Henson of Rome, GA with 11.18; third – Daniel Cox of Hokes Bluff, AL with 10.79; fourth – Justin Rivers of Addison, AL with 10.76; and fifth – Scott Johnson of Nashville, OH with 10.74.  Overall Co-angler big bass award went to Jason Holloway for catching a 5.89 pound largemouth.

This Regional event concludes the 2009 season for the Alabama North, Tennessee East, Kentucky, Missouri, and Wisconsin/Minnesota Division anglers.  The top 50 anglers by place of finish from both fields will now advance to the National Championship held on Lake Dardanelle, launching from the State Park on November 4-7, 2009.
