Young anglers get to the world championship through a series of qualifying events at the local and state or province level. The 66 world championship qualifiers are winnowed from among young anglers in 141 Junior BASS Clubs in the United States and Canada. Sean Alarid, 15, of Oakley, California, bested the 15-17 age division with a single-day catch of 6 pounds, 3 ounces, while Bradley Roy, 13, of Lancaster, Kentucky, brought in 3 pounds, 15 ounces to win the 11-14 age division. Speaking of Lake Norman, "It's different from the (California) Delta," says Alarid, who has been fishing tournaments on Sacramento's sprawling, bass-laden fishery with his father, Steve, since he was 6 or 7 years old. "Here, you have to work. At the Delta, you just have to pitch back in pockets." Roy has also competed in local tournaments with his father since age 7. "It's very exciting to me," says Roy, who won't be eligible to fish adult BASS events for three years but has managed to attract seven sponsors. "It's kind of unbelievable. It hasn't sunk in yet." Alarid caught two bass - one a 3-15 bruiser that earned his age division's $1,000 Big Bass prize. The other Big Bass Award went to Ben Cayer of Bethel, Vermont, who brought in a 3-4 lunker, the largest fish in the 11-14 division. Roy and Alarid each won a $5,000 scholarship. Other competitors also earned scholarships. In the 11-14 age group, Ben Cayer of Vermont won a $2,000 scholarship; Kyle Heels of Ontario, Canada earned $1,500 for third; J.C. Christopher II won $1,000 for fourth; and Derek Kuntz of Minnesota earned $500 for fifth. In the 15-17 age group, Jeremy Lins of Wisconsin earned $2,000 for second place. Mike Roselle of Maryland earned $2,000. Blake Stewart of Kansas earned a $1,500 scholarship; Robert Arasmith of Georgia. earned $1,000; and Jonathan Puhalski II of Connecticut earned $500. Congratulations all Junior Bassmaster World Championship anglers. __________________________________________________ MEGASTRIKE FOUND TO BE A CURE FOR HEARTBURN This just in from reader, Mark Poulson: Russ, I enjoyed the recent WEEKLY NEWS article on the new Yamamoto Craw MegaStrike, but you forgot to mention one important use for MegaStrike. I use it as treatment for heartburn. I apply it to my baits and no longer suffer from the heartburn and pain of short strikes and missed hooksets. Seriously, I have use MegaStrike over two years and my hookset ratio is way up. The new Yamamoto craw formula goes on all my baits, and I also use it on the line above the baits. I think it makes a scent trail ahead of my Ikas, like hollering "Fore" on the golf course. Kind of whets their appetites like driving by a Bar-B-Que restaurant and smelling that smoke.
