GUNTERSVILLE, ALA. (AP) -- Skeet Reese had a big final day to beat his closest competitor by more than 7½ pounts for his second Bassmasters victory of the year on Sunday.
Reese, from Auburn, Calif., caught 25 pounds, 15 ounces of Lake Guntersvile bass on the day for a four-day total of 100-13. Davy Hite, from Ninety Six, S.C., was second at 93-3 and John Crews, of Salem, Va., third at 92-11.
"I can't believe I won this thing," Reese said of his sixth career Bassmasters win. "I really didn't think I had a chance. I was totally relaxed this morning without a worry in the world. I had no pressure and wasn't even thinking about a victory. I would have been happy with 18 pounds."
Reese increased his lead in the angler of the year standings to 258 points.
