Shaver Frogs for Mighty Miss Title
Frye nets co-angler title in Great Lakes Division event
August 18, 2020 • MLF • Phoenix Bass Fishing League
Boater Jeremiah Shaver of Holmen, Wis., brought a five-bass limit to the scale Saturday weighing 15 pounds, 7 ounces to win the Phoenix Bass Fishing League presented by T-H Marine event on the Mississippi River in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Shaver earned $3,879. for his victory.
"I threw a black and yellow Spro Bronzeye Frog all day – I never picked up another rod," says Shaver, who earned the first tournament win of his career. "I made a long run to the top of Pool 9. It took me about an hour and a half to get there through the lock.
"I was fishing a cheese mat – literally the most disgusting, yellow cheese mat that you'd ever seen," Shaver continues. "I caught a limit there for around 13½ pounds and made the trip back down around 11:30 (a.m.). I had two key culls late in the day that really helped.
"The wind kind of made the bite sporadic, but I just stayed confident with the frog and didn't put it down," Shaver goes on to say. "It's exciting to finally get a win – it was long overdue."
