By B.A.S.S. Communications Staff Wes Logan said memories came flooding back to him throughout the Neely Henry Lake Bassmaster Elite Series event. Thats bound to happen when youve fished a place since you were 5 years old.
Logan now has countless new reasons to think fondly of his home water after claiming the tournament title. The 26-year-old from Springville, Ala., only a 30-mile drive from the Gadsden City Boat Docks, caught a four-day total of 20 bass weighing 57-09. He capped the competition with a 14-01 limit on day 4, the third-heaviest of the day.

Before the tournament began, Wes Loganpredicted it would take 55 pounds to win.
He was wrong. It took 57 pounds.
The Springville native landed 57 lbs. 9 oz. to land the blue trophy Monday at the 2021 Whataburger Bassmaster Elite at Neely Henry Lake. He beat Paul Mueller, who was 1 lb. 6 oz. back in second place.
“I give it all I had,” Logan said at Monday’s weigh-in. “I’ve led some tournaments going to the last day but never been able to close it out. To do it here on this body of water as many hours I’ve spent here, it just makes this that more special, and to do it in front of all of these people it’s even more special. The good Lord blessed me.”

Wes Logan t 16-15 stringer on day 3 tied for the heaviest bag thus far at the Neely Henry Lake Bassmaster Elite Series.
By B.A.S.S. Communications Staff Wes Logan grew up fishing this 11,200-acre Coosa River fishery, so its no surprise his intimate knowledge of the lake helped him climb to the top of the leaderboard on day 3 of the Neely Henry Lake Bassmaster Elite Series.
But with the Neely Henry bass still adjusting to extremely heavy rains last week, Logan admits hell have to lean on every bit of his experience if hes to win his first B.A.S.S tournament Monday.
Card s Painful Day Ends With Lead Increased
Saturday, April 24, 2021
By B.A.S.S. Communications Staff Despite a slow start, a big loss and a painful injury, Brandon Card caught a Day-3 limit of 2110 And retained the lead at the Lake Fork Bassmaster Elite Series in Texas.
Entering day 3 with an 11-ounce lead over Quentin Cappo, Card bolstered his first two days weights of 27-06 and 28-01 to tally a three-day total of 77-01. Card heads into Championship Sunday with a 3-pound cushion over Cappo.
Camping in Little Caney Creek the first two days, Card spent most of his time on a shallow point he called his Hammer Hole and leveraged a shad spawn for the majority of his fish. Today, that bite proved elusive and Card had to make position and presentation changes.
