DENISON, Texas (May 10, 2008) - The unlikely combination of an airline pilot and school superintendent won both the Pro- and Co-Angler Divisions of the Stren Series Texas Division tournament on Lake Texoma.Pro Dave Parsons of Yantis, Texas, caught a five-bass limit weighing 14 pounds, 13 ounces Saturday to win the Stren with a four-day total of 20 bass weighing 60-10. For his victory, Parsons earned $25,000 cash.
"I'm going to have to get a shave and haircut before I go back to work," said Parsons, who is a captain for Southwest Airlines out of Dallas. "It was kind of cool this morning, because right when we took off, there were about 50 birds sitting there on the bank eating shad, and I caught four keepers in 45 minutes, so the rest of the day I was able to fish really comfortably. I went to five different areas today, catching one or more in every spot, culling three times."
Parsons caught his fish flipping a Sweet Beaver in the "muddiest, nastiest" water he could find, and caught some on a Terminator spinnerbait.
"Earlier this week, I caught all my fish in really shallow water-10 inches or less," Parsons said. "They moved out as the week progressed, so I made the adjustment and stayed on them all week. My strategy was to do something different; I was catching better quality in muddier water."
Parsons opened the tournament in 33rd place Wednesday with five bass weighing 11-08 that he caught flipping while fishing shallow water. On Thursday he added another five bass weighing 21-02 using a variety of baits to capture his lead. He then caught five bass weighing 13-03 Friday to make the crucial top-10 cut in first place.
Rounding out the top five pros are Robert Robinson of Mobile, Ala. (20 bass, 55-15, $7,238); Tim Harp of Pottsboro, Texas (20 bass, 52-09, $6,515 plus $5,000 Ranger bonus); Chris McCall of Jasper, Texas (20 bass, 52-01, $5,791); and Gene Robertson of Ardmore, Okla. (20 bass, 50-05, $5,067).
Parsons caught the biggest bass of the tournament in the Pro Division Thursday - a 7-pound, 11-ounce largemouth - that earned him the day's Snickers Big Bass award of $218.
Overall there were 50 bass weighing 114 pounds, 13 ounces caught by 10 pros Saturday. The catch included 10 five-bass limits.
George Coffman of Marlow, Okla., won the Co-angler Division and $5,000, with a four-day total of 16 bass weighing 39-09.
"Besides getting married and the birth of my children, this is the most nervous I've ever been," said Coffman, the Marlow County School superintendent who won the co-angler division of his first Stren Series tournament. "This is my first time fishing with FLW and my first win, so I'm going to be spoiled rotten; the chances were a million to one."
Coffman caught a smallmouth on a brown jig and a black bass on a purple and white crankbait.
"I had great pros all week, and Dave did everything he possibly could have to make me successful today, as well as himself," Coffman said. "I enjoyed every minute of it, and Wal-Mart and the whole FLW crew were great; I want to participate in some more tournaments, and eventually jump onto the other side as a pro and get after it one of these days."
Coffman caught five bass weighing 12-01 Wednesday using jig and fluke while fishing with pro Richard Whomble of Lindale, Texas, to open the tournament in second place. He then caught four bass weighing 8-14 Thursday using a jig while fishing with pro Yarri Schreibvogel of Sam Rayburn, Texas, to maintain his lead. On Friday he added five more bass weighing 14-05 to make the top-10 cut in first place while using a jig with pro Dean Alexander of Florence, Texas. Finally, on Saturday, he sealed the win with a two-bass catch weighing 4-05 on a jig and purple and white Lucky Craft crankbait while fishing with pro Dave Parsons of Yantis, Texas.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Stephen Francis of Brookeland, Texas (17 bass, 36-03, $3,100); David Underwood of Waco, Texas (16 bass, 32-05, $2,519); Zac Cassill of Fairfax, Iowa (16 bass, 30-11, $1,938); and Terry Rose of Eastland, Texas (13 bass, 29-03, $1,550).
Jason Pittman of Ardmore, Okla., caught the biggest bass of the tournament in the Co-angler Division Thursday - a 6-pound, 6-ounce largemouth - that earned him the day's Snickers Big Bass award of $116.
Overall there were 27 bass weighing 50 pounds, 11 ounces caught by 10 co-anglers Saturday. The catch included 2 five-bass limits.
The next Stren Series Texas Division event, hosted by the City of Natchitoches, will be held Sept. 24-27 on the Red River in Natchitoches, La. Boats will launch from Grand Encore Recreation Complex in Natchitoches and the final weigh-in will be held at the Wal-Mart located at 925 Keyser Ave. in Natchitoches.

| Parsons Leads Texoma Stren Series for Second Day |
DENISON, Texas� (May 9, 2008) � Pro Dave Parsons of Yantis, Texas, caught a five-bass limit weighing 13 pounds, 3 ounces Friday to widen his lead in the Stren Series Texas Division tournament on Lake Texoma. With a three-day catch of 15 bass weighing 45-13, he holds a 3-pound, 1-ounce lead over his closest competitor heading into the final day of competition.
�I started the day by going to where I quit yesterday,� said Parsons, who has had both the biggest bass and heaviest bag of the tournament. �The fish had moved off the structure I�d been catching them on, so I struggled a little bit and had to change gears. I think it was just because of the pressure and sunny skies, but I was eventually able to catch them a little farther out.�
Keeping the same four rods on the deck, Parsons caught his best fish this morning on a spinnerbait. Parsons said he�d caught most of his bass flipping, but had more trouble today than the previous two days of competition, not catching his fifth fish until 2 p.m.
��Tomorrow I have an all new game plan; I won�t even go back to that stuff,� Parsons said. �I might go back there late in the day to try to catch a kicker, but I�m going where I know I can put a limit in the boat early and start to cull up the rest of the day.�
Parsons had to move around a lot today and plans to go wherever he needs to tomorrow to catch a good limit.
�I�m just going to be out there grinding it out,� Parsons said. �I�m just tickled to death to be where I am, and tomorrow I�ll let the chips fall where they may.�
Rounding out the top five pros are Robert Robinson of Mobile, Ala. (15 bass, 42-12); Chris McCall of Jasper, Texas (15 bass, 41-03); Tim Harp of Pottsboro, Texas (15 bass, 40-05); and James Stricklin Jr. of Jasper, Texas (15 bass, 38-07).

Stan Burgay of Timpson, Texas, earned $218 for the Snickers Big Bass award in the Pro Division thanks to a 5-pound, 12-ounce bass.
Overall there were 433 bass weighing 923 pounds, 8 ounces caught by 131 pros Friday. The catch included 58 five-bass limits.
Pros are competing for as much as $65,000, including a 198VX Ranger powered by Evinrude or Yamaha if contingency guidelines are met, and valuable points toward qualifying for the $1 million Stren Series Championship in Branson, Mo., Nov. 5-8 for a shot at $140,000. After four qualifying events are complete in each of the circuit�s five divisions, the top 40 pros from each division will advance to the championship. The highest-finishing pro from each division at the championship will also earn a spot in the $2 million 2009 Forrest Wood Cup, where they will compete against top pros from the Wal-Mart FLW Tour�, Wal-Mart FLW Series�, Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League� and TBF (The Bass Federation) for bass fishing�s biggest prize � $1 million.

�I�ve fished a lot of tournaments, but this is my first with FLW Outdoors, and it�s a first-class event,� said Coffman, who is the superintendent of Marlow Public Schools in Oklahoma. �I had a blast, and I want everyone to know that.� �
Coffman caught most of his fish on a crankbait and had a limit by 7 a.m.
�I culled four or five times, so I could have probably had three limits,� Coffman said. �I had a great day and partner who put me on some pretty good fish with him, and anytime you have 14-05 on Texoma is great. If I don�t catch a fish tomorrow, it�s still been a great experience.�
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Stephen Francis of Brookeland, Texas (15 bass, 32-11); Gary Evans of Basalt, Colo. (11 bass, 27-03); David Underwood of Waco, Texas (11 bass, 23-08); and Rusty Harvey of Nederland, Texas (10 bass, 23-01).

Parsons revealed he is throwing several different baits and has four rods on his deck, catching his fish on a crankbait, ChatterBait, spinnerbait and flipping stick.
�I�m not even hitting the same areas; I�m not fishing the same place I fished yesterday,� Parsons said. �I don�t even know if I�m going back to the area I was in today. I have five areas I�m fishing, so I may go to another. I�m rotating, and once I think I�m in an area where I think there�s a lot of fish, I just stay with it and fish pretty hard; the next day, I go to a different area.�
Parsons attributes his success to his strategy.
�Tomorrow is going to be a day like today,� Parsons said. �I�m going to try and concentrate and duplicate my pattern I did today and hit some different areas and give my big fish area a rest, and maybe let it reload.�
