FLW PRESS RELEASE
Clark
Wendlandt thought he knew two things: 1. He had an area all to himself. 2. It
had potential to be special. Turns out he was right on both.

Despite
battling nasty weather and his boat
breaking down on day three, Wendlandt managed to sack up 60
pounds of bass to win the Walmart FLW Tour event presented by Ranger Boats on
the Potomac River. The Leander, Texas, pro beat Andy Morgan by 4 pounds, 4
ounces to earn the fourth FLW Tour victory of his career.
“I
had a suspicion my area could be good after my practice,” Wendlandt says. “I’d
fished that area before, and in practice I caught a few fish. With a place like
this [the Potomac] where the fish are always moving, you just want to know
they’re in an area. So I knew they were there, but I didn’t know it would be as
good as this.”
Wendlandt’s
key area was Potomac Creek, which featured a mixture of docks, grass flats and
shallow wood. He rotated between all three types of cover each day in an effort
to see where the fish had relocated. His main lures were a 1/2-ounce 4x4 jig
and a white Z-Man ChatterBait with a Lake Fork Tackle Live Magic Shad trailer.
