Ryan McMurtury has won the 2010 Bassmaster Weekend Series National Championship sponsored by Federated Marine batteries. McMurtury won in a Federated battery boat and collected an additional $10,000 from the sponsor.
“When we got involved with the Bassmaster Weekend Series,
our primary objective was to show that Federated could
provide the parts and service that any angler would need for
his boat or the vehicle that pulls his boat,” said Mike
Allen, vice president of Federated Auto Parts. “This
Bassmaster Weekend Series National Championship promotion
was a nice way to help us get the word out to fishing
enthusiasts and master anglers about the benefits of
Federated batteries. We want to thank our manufacturing
partner East Penn for its help with this promotion and all
the ongoing support they provide to Federated and our
customers.”
McMurtury fished one spot for four days, catching 165 bass.
He finished with 20 bass going 69.53 pounds with a 5.2-pound
kicker. For the win, McMurtury collected $100,000 from
American Bass Anglers plus an extra $10,000 check from
Federated Auto Parts and East Penn.
Anglers in the 2010 Weekend Series were eligible for great
prizes from Federated at the national championships if they
used a Federated marine battery in their boat. The grand
prize of $10,000 was awarded to the highest-placing finisher
using a Federated battery.
