Lebanon fisherman wins bass tournament




Daniel Johnson of Lebanon won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League LBL Division tournament on Kentucky and Barkley lakes with a two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 32 pounds, 11 ounces.Johnson received a trophy and $5,943. Three of the top four finishers are from Lebanon. After Johnson, Drew Boggs finished in second place with 10 bass at 32 pounds. Joey Mallicoat was fourth with seven bass at 28-10.“I had three areas on the south end of Barkley Lake that I worked through both days,” said Johnson, who notched his second career win in BFL competition. “I targeted ultra-shallow cover like rock and wood – basically anything in less than 2 feet of water.”Johnson flipped green-pumpkin or black and blue-colored tubes with half-ounce Jenko Creature Weights. He also rotated in handmade balsa square-billed crankbaits. For crankbait colors, he said he preferred shad on Saturday and chartreuse with a black back on Sunday.“The majority of my fish came from flipping, but I caught one key fish and a couple of keepers on the square-bill,” he said.  “I utilized the square-bill more early in the morning when I noticed shad up around the cover. Later in the day I flipped.”Johnson said he caught eight keepers Saturday and six keepers Sunday.
