Japanese anglers wins Open by an ounce
Sunday, April 18, 2021
Daisuke Aoki has claimed numerous accolades in his homeland, but the Japanese standout secured his grandest objective Saturday by topping a stout field at the Douglas Lake Bassmaster Southern Open in Dandridge, Tenn. with a three-day total of 43-13.
Hailing from Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi, Japan, Aoki kept himself in contention all week. He was 4th on day 1 with 15-13 and held that position a day later with a second-round limit of 13-05. On the final day, Aoki added 14-11 and edged Bassmaster Elite Series competitor Drew Benton by an ounce.
With an impressive resume including the 2015 Japan Bass Top 50 Angler of the Year and the Basser Allstar Classic title, also in 2015, Aoki has had his sights set on the sports most prestigious event.
