Louisiana’s Pharr Takes Bassmaster Central Open; Combs, Reehm Snag Classic Berths
October 23, 2010 - DENISON, Texas – Mike Pharr of Shreveport , La. , capitalized on some key slip-ups at the top of the leaderboard to claim his first BASS win at the final stop of the 2010 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Opens on Lake Texoma . He added 10 pounds, 13 ounces, Saturday to build his three-day total to 27 pounds, 4 ounces.
"This is unreal, I don't know what I'm going to do," the firefighter said. "To win without catching a single limit is pretty wild."
Pharr relied on a slew of baits to catch all nine of the bass he weighed in. With fishing ultra-tough on Texoma, Pharr made his bites count. An Omega football jig, Omega Revelation swimming jig, a Tru-Trac spinnerbait and what he called an LSU crankbait (it's purple and chartreuse) ultimately snagged the right fish and earned Pharr more than $42,000.
"I call that crankbait the Les Miles (LSU's head football coach) crankbait, because it can pull a win out of nowhere," Pharr said.
Pharr has been borrowing boats from friends recently to fish tournaments because his has a blown engine so he will look to invest in some hefty repairs with his winnings.
Former Elite Series pro Brian Clark of Haltom City , Texas made a big run at the lead the final day. Clark registered the heaviest single-day of the tournament, a 13-11 limit (one of five today) that bumped him up to a 26-10 total, which was within 1 pound but ultimately wasn’t enough. In third was Keith Combs of Del Rio, Texas, who totaled 26 pounds, 0 ounces.
With the strong performance at Texoma, Combs ended up winning the Central Open points standings. That distinction earned him a coveted 2011 Classic berth. He was second in the standings heading into the tournament and though he faced an uphill battle for the lead, Craig Schuff of Watauga , Texas , faltered at Texoma, opening the door.
And with Schuff posting a disappointing 48th here, Clark Reehm of Lufkin , Texas , took advantage, snaring the second Classic berth via the Opens. With 24 pounds, 11 ounces, the Elite pro scored a fifth place here and edged out Schuff by a mere three points. The full standings of both the Texoma event and the Central Open points can be found below.
On the co-angler side, Matt Crawford of Little Elm, Texas , earned a brand-new Skeeter FX190 with a 150-horsepower Yamaha motor for a three-day catch that weighed 13-7.
"You have no idea how great this is," he said. "I didn't think I had enough to win, but then I caught my (only fish of the day) with an hour left. This is great."
In second was JC Thompson of Calera , Okla. , with 12-4 while Bo Rhodes of Carrollton , Texas , was third with 11-12.
With the completion of the Central Opens circuit, Combs and Reehm are Classic-bound and five other pros are invited to fish the 2011 Elite Series. They are: Craig Schuff of Watauga, Texas; Lee Sisson of Winter Haven, Fla.; Dean Alexander of Florence, Texas; Aaron Johnson of Bossier City, La., and James Stricklin of Jasper, Texas.
