Paul Smashes BASS Record On Falcon Lake |
Victory by Elias caps a record-breaking week in Texas
By Steve Wright - April 6, 2008
 ZAPATA, Texas — Falcon Lake was full of big surprises this week, but maybe none bigger than Paul Elias jumping from fifth place Sunday to win the Bassmaster Elite Series Lone Star Shootout presented by Longhorn.
And the fact that Elias edged Terry Scroggins by a mere 4 ounces to win the $100,000 title made this event even more of an eye-opener. Scroggins entered the day in the 12th and final spot among Sunday's finalists — 21 pounds, 8 ounces behind Day Three leader Aaron Martens. Read More

"On this lake, anything can happen."
That phrase has been repeated so many times this week that it's started to lose its meaning. After all, this is fishing, and about the only certainty in this sport is that there are no certainties.
Everyone talked about the different scenarios that could potentially play out. Martens could do this. Mark Davis could do that. Somebody could catch a 50-pound stringer. But underneath it all, you got the sense that just about everybody had accepted the fact that it would be Martens' name on the trophy when it was all said and done. Read More

Zapata, TX –Sunday it was all sunshine and daydreams. The leader for the week, Aaron Martens, had only a seven-pound, seven-ounce lead over veteran Arkansas pro, and post-spawn guru, Mark Davis. While that’s healthy at any other place, Falcon is just simply not “any other place,” and seven pounds can be gobbled up in one bite with plenty of room to spare.
In fact, it wasn’t outside of the realm of possibility for most anyone in the top 12 Sunday to pressure the leaders – the fishing is just that good. Ultimately it was veteran Mississippi pro Paul Elias who took top honors, after putting 37-11 in the boat on the final day. Read More
