American Couples Angler Takes WBT Co-Angler Win!
 Athens, AL........In the co-angler division at the WBT Lake Maumelle tournament, Martha Goodfellow of Simpsonville, S.C., won the first-place prize of a $25,000 Triton/Mercury boat rig. Goodfellow, who is fishing the WBT for the first time this season, had 17 pounds, 11 ounces through three days.
A lifelong angler, Goodfellow said she has fished all over the country, and competes in American Bass Anglers’ American Couples Trail with her husband. Lake Maumelle, though, was a challenge.
"I've never fished a lake with so many weeds on the banks. This was a totally new experience," Martha said. She credits her win to advice she received from fellow WBT anglers. It gave her confidence and knowledge on how to fish the weeds. Read More
