BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Boyd Duckett became the first angler in Bassmaster Classic history to win the title in his home state, taking the $500,000 top prize by 6 ounces Sunday with a three-day total of 48 pounds, 10 ounces.
The 46-year-old Duckett, from Demopolis, had the final round's biggest five-bass limit -- 17 pounds, 13 ounces -- to climb from fourth place at Lay Lake.
"I'm so proud I brought the Classic title to my home state," Duckett said. "It's every angler's dream to be able to get here and to win it is just fantastic."
