Yates & Smith Win 2012 HS Fishing State Championship

Ft. Gibson Lake – The Bass Federation (TBF), in partnership with FLW Outdoors, and the Wagoner Chamber of Commerce held the 2012 Student Angler Federation (SAF) Oklahoma High School Fishing State Championship on Fort Gibson Lake Sunday, May 6. Thirty five boats launched out of the Taylor’s Ferry Ramp in Wagoner, Okla.  The event was held in conjunction with a FLW Outdoors Bass Fishing League (BFL) Event that took place the day before.  Some students and volunteers were worried that the fishing pressure could make things tough on Sunday; however, thirty teams brought fish to the scales that afternoon!  All of the students had the opportunity to walk across the stage and weigh in their catch just like the pros using FLW Outdoor’s BFL tournament trailer and stage.
