Gerald & Denise Rabroker

WIN Belton Opener!!!

CAST Central Region started off the 2009 season with a great tournament on Lake Belton near Temple, Texas on February 14, 2009. Many new couples joined the CAST Central Region for our first tournament of the year and they would prove to be very competitive and successful.

Taking First Place were Gerald and Denise Rabroker bringing a limit of Lake Belton bass to the scales with a total weight of 17.47 lbs! The Rabrokers were able to catch their two largest bass early in the morning. Fishing soft-plastic fluke style baits in water 2 to 4 feet deep. When the bite slowed later in the day, Gerald & Denise backed off and caught suspended fish with a carolina rig from the tops of trees near an underwater drop off. Their strategy paid off and was enough to ensure the win for the Rabroker's.

Winning Second Place were Central Region couple David and Bonita Barnard of Lometa, Texas. Their second place total for a five fish limit weighed 15.79 lbs!

Third place and Big Bass went to 2008 CAST Classic contenders, Justin and Jenn Prisock, with a total weight of 15.57 lbs! Justin & Jenn brought the Big Bass of the tournament with an amazing smallmouth bass weighing 4.94 lbs! The big fish was caught on a football jig. We would like to thank Tom Giebe of Jeff Hunter Toyota; for their sponsorship bonus of the Big Bass award at each of our regional tournaments in 2009.
