Big Fred finishes strong at Toyota Texas Bass Classic

Big Fred's Day 1 Bass
Like he did the week before at Toledo Bend, our man Big Fred Contaoi wowed the crowd over the weekend at the Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Conroe with a lunker largemouth. This 7.88 pounder was the big fish for the tourney on day one and helped Contaoi reach 7th place in the $250,000 event.

Unfortunately, conditions were tough on the second day for Fred and he slipped in standings, but still ended up with a very strong 22nd place finish. And keep in mind, this was against the best bass anglers in the world!

A great start...Fred's first bass of the tourney

He of course would have liked to make the top 10, but when you’re fishing against what amount to an all star team of talent, 22nd is something to feel good about.

Here’s a look at the tourney…
