His three-day total of 67 pounds, 4 ounces edged out fellow Elite Series pro Fletcher Shryock of Ohio, who was second with 63-10, and Chris Johnston of Canada who was third with 63-6.
Joe Balog, the Harrison Township, Mich., pro and heavy favorite who led the first two days, lost valuable fishing time due to mechanical problems, caught only three fish, and fell to seventh.
