DETROIT, Mich. After leading the first day, then falling into Mark Davis wake on the second and third days, Chris Lane kicked it into high gear Sunday to win the Bassmaster Elite Series Plano Championship Chase.
Through the win, Lane, the 2012 Bassmaster Classic champ, got his 2014 Bassmaster Classic ticket punched what he came into the Chase to achieve. From Guntersville, Ala., he was set on qualifying for the 2014 world championship on his home water of Lake Guntersville.
The win was also his first in the Bassmaster Elite Series and a $100,000 payday.
Lane landed the Chase title by weighing 82 pounds 4 ounces of smallmouth bass in four days of competition. His margin of victory was 5-7 over Davis of Mount Ida, Ark.
Davis, the 1995 Classic winner who also owns three Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year trophies, led on Days 2 and 3. On Day 4, one bass shy of a five-fish limit, Davis weight was 13-3. He finished at 76-13 in the runner-up spot.
The Classic champ of 2008, Alton Jones of Lorena, Texas, jumped from 12th place to take third with 76-6. Jones weighed the days largest bag of 22-3.
Ending in fourth place was the 2004 Classic winner, Takahiro Omori of Emory, Texas, with 76-0, including the days biggest of 5-11. Rounding out the Top 5 at 75-11 was Michigan native Nate Wellman of Newaygo.
