ZAVALLA, Texas — Yates Center’s Remington Wagner, 14, is a Bassmasters junior champion.
Wagner won the 11- to 14-year-old age division of the Junior Bassmasters Central Divisional champ-ionship at Lake Sam Raburn on June 7.
Wagner landed two bass weighing 3 pounds, 11 ounces. It was his first ever divisional competition.
The victory qualifies Wagner for a berth in the Junior Bassmasters World Champ-ionship in Arkansas in October.
“It was pretty tough,” Wagner said in a Bassmasters news release. “The pattern was all messed up. We had fish in the practice days and then it rained … so we just could hardly catch them. I caught those two fish within the last two hours of the tournament.”
He’s a member of the Puddlejumper Fishing Club and is the son of Bryson and Shelly Wagner of Yates Center.
