In addition to the prize money, Stafford earned a ticket to the 2008 $1 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League All-American presented by Chevy on the Connecticut River in Hartford, Conn. With a top boater award of $140,000 and a top co-angler award of $70,000, the All-American is one of the most prestigious tournaments in bass fishing. The Boater Division Snickers Big Bass award for day one went to Cox and Lewis Hartwell of Jackson, Miss. On day two the Snickers Big Bass award went to Stafford with a 4-pound, 12-ounce bass that earned him $1,250. The Co-angler Snickers Big Bass award on day one went to Mike Wolfenbarger of Powell, Tenn. It also serves as a steppingstone for anglers who wish to advance to the Stren Series and ultimately the Wal-Mart FLW Series and Wal-Mart FLW Tour – bass fishing’s most lucrative tournament circuits. read more
