Déjà vu Strikes Lexington Bass Pro Craig Fredrychowski
Craig Fredrychowski, of Lexington earned his spot to compete at the
2009 TBF National Championship for the second year in a row by
securing a second place finish at the 2008 Southern Division held on
Lake Norman June, 11 – 13th, 2008.
Lexington, SC June 16th, 2007 – Pine Press Printing, sponsor of
Lexington Bass Pro Craig Fredrychowski, announced today that
Fredrychowski earned a second place finish to secure a spot at the
2009 TBF National Championship for the second year in a row.
Last year Fredrychowski finished second in South Carolina to secure
a spot as a co-angler at the 2008 National Championship held on Lake
Wiley in April of this year. At that Championship Fredrychowski won
the over-all Co-Angler title and a prize package worth $10k and a
berth into the BFL All American held in Hot Springs, Arkansas and
the $2 million Forrest Wood Cup, presented by Castrol that will be
held in Lake Murray August 14-17, 2008.
Once again Fredrychowski finished second in the state while
competing with 87 other top anglers from the southern division on
Lake Norman last week stirring up the feeling of déjà vu.
Fredrychowski stated, “I had my eyes on the first position so I
could attend the Championship as an angler but am just as excited to
represent South Carolina as a co-angler and try for a repeat
performance and win the overall Championship as a co-angler once
again next year.”
Fredrychowski also stated, “I had a good shot at the fist spot
position as I was leading the whole tournament as of day one with a
weight of 10 pounds 14 ounces. Day one was interesting; I had a
marina that I was doing really well at in practice, shut down due to
an explosion. Later, I had a backlash, and I got a bite while I was
fixing that and ended up with a fish. The bass were really
responding to my Gulp fish spray, I encouraged my co-angler to use
it as well which help increase his weight.”
“Day two I fell to second overall but maintained my South Carolina
team led with my day-two catch of 9-5 that brought my combined
weight to 20-3. All my bass on the second day were a direct result
of fishing a shaky head and a Trigger Shad made by Cache Custom
Lures on Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon line.”
“By day three they had pulled water and my bite had shut off. I was
concentrating on boat docks with a lot of brush. Finding brush had
been the key, because the fish had been holding out really well in
(the brush) and responding to my PJ Lures Jig in both the sun and
the shade. I only brought 4-2 to the scales dropping me to second
position in the state but still earning the chance to get to compete
at the TBF Championship next year.”
As the bass fishing tournament season is winding Fredrychowski still
has one big tournament he needs to concentrate on. April’s win at
the Championship gave Fredrychowski a berth into the 2008 Forrest L.
Wood Cup, (known as the super bowl of fishing) on Lake Murray in
August. Fredrychowski stated, “I will be spending a lot of time on
Lake Murray within the next month preparing for the “Cup”. Fishing
the “Cup” on my home waters of Lake Murray is a real honor and I am
looking forward to competing with some of the countries best
anglers.”
The $2 million Forrest Wood Cup, presented by Castrol will be held
in Lake Murray August 14-17, 2008. The event is expected to draw
thousands of bass fishing fans to the Midlands region.
Lake Murray has produced many Pro Bass Anglers and many of them
started their Professional Bass Fishing career at the grass roots
level just like Fredrychowski has. It is our pleasure at Pine Press
Printing to be sponsoring one of the next upcoming Pro Anglers and
be able to watch his professional career take off with our help.
