The team of Kurt Floyd and Tyler Woods weighed-in an impressive five-fish stringer of 18.97 pounds to clinch the 2015 Arlington Bass Classic, held Saturday, April 11, at Lake Arlington.

The duo earned $950.00 in their City championship win, and split a separate big bass pot with James Hollar, who also reeled in a 5.08 pound largemouth during the tournament.

Hollar also took home a $100 Gander Mountain gift card when his name was drawn from the pot of registrants that signed up online at ArlingtonBassClassic.com before the early registration cutoff date.

Floyd and Woods’ winning tally was nearly six pounds more than the runner-up stringer of Jeff Brooks and his partner (13.00 pounds), who still took home $380.00 in the 35-team field.

The Arlington Bass Classic was presented by the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department. The APRD partnered with SCA Promotions to offer a pair of potential grand prizes including a new lake record ($13,500) and a tagged fish grand prize ($10,000). Both of those grand prizes went unclaimed at this year’s event.

“Outside of no-one winning one of the grand prizes, we couldn’t be more pleased with how the tournament went,” said Tournament Director Guy Scruggs. “We had a record number of entries, great weather and the response from the participating anglers has been fantastic.”

All fish caught in the event were released at the conclusion of the weigh-in. A special thanks to Berkley Fishing, Gander Mountain and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop for sponsoring the event.

“Our tournament committee is already game planning ways to make this event bigger and better in 2016,” added Scruggs. “We have a lot of positive momentum to build off of, due to the success of this year’s event.”
