South Hero Resident Fishes with the
Pros in Bassmaster Open
By Courtney A.

The Bassmaster Northern Open kicked off in Lake Champlain during the weekend of July
22 to 24, and South Hero resident Brent Heyn made a good showing for his first time in the
Open.
Heyn’s entry into the tournament, which pairs amateur fisherman with professional
fisherman, was a gift from his wife and an amazing experience for the amateur angler.
He
was anticipating the event would teach him more about the lake and where the pros go, and
he was right.
He also learned about baits he had never seen used before and jigging precision
he had never witnessed firsthand.
Heyn went into the competition with no expectation of
winning the amateur fisher’s prize, a $34,000 bass boat, but he came pretty close.
