Missouri's Roger Fitzpatrick docks his way to Phoenix BFL Regional win on Grand Lake

Roger Fitzpatrick of Eldon, Mo., won the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Regional on Grand Lake out of Grove, Okla. The three-day event ended Saturday, Oct. 24. Fitzpatrick weighed 15 bass for 50 pounds, 5 ounces, and took home a Phoenix 819 Pro boat package worth about $50,000. The regional drew anglers from the Arkie, Cowboy, Great Lakes and Ozark divisions.

He stuck to boat docks all week, mostly pitching 7/8- and 1-ounce Omega Pro Mega Structure Jigs with a Bojangles Z-Daddy trailer, and he also threw a glide bait. He opened with 18-13 on the first day and held on through a tough second day.

TJ Martin finished second with 49-0, Dale Andrews was third with 48-8, Chase Fitzpatrick fourth with 48-0, Adam Boehle fifth with 47-15, Justin Luetkemeyer sixth with 46-0 and Chris Darby seventh with 45-5. Travis Mosley caught the event's big bass at 6-1. The top seven boaters qualify for the 2027 BFL All-American, set for June 5-7 on Florida's Kissimmee Chain.

On the co-angler side, Dylan Mickle of Claremore, Okla., won with nine bass for 25-4 and earned a Phoenix 518 worth $33,500. Wesley Pigeon had the co-angler big bass, a 6-9.
