Our Pro Staffer Ken Milender is going to the 2004 BASS National Championship!

2003 CITGO BASS Federation Northern Divisional

MIDLAND, Ontario, Canada — Brian Runyon soared from sixth place on day two to win the CITGO BASS Federation Northern Divisional on Georgian Bay.

Runyon, an electrician from McArthur, Ohio, brought in a total catch of 50 pounds, 11 ounces. The whopping catch not only won the tournament, but also bought Runyon a ticket to the CITGO BASS Federation Championship presented by Busch Beer.

"It's gong to have to have time to sink in," Runyon said. "All I wanted to do today was put together a 10-pound sack to make sure I get a spot in the championship."

The Divisional pits Federation teams and their anglers against one another. The top angler from each of the nine competing Federations will head to the championship for a chance to win one of the BASS Federation's five traditional berths at the CITGO Bassmaster Classic presented by Busch Beer.

Runyon will be joined by South Dakota's Jami Fralkick (49-7), Indiana's Rodney Hardwick (43-12), Michigan's Edward Rogers (41-11), Minnesota's Ken Milender (41-6), Ontario's Jamie Janzen (38-11), Wisconsin's Jeremy Foster (38-7), Iowa's Thad Takes (35-5) and Illinois' Steve Tatum (32-11).
