Three Vermonters finish first, second and third in final Plattsburgh pro fishing tournament of the summer
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — The final professional fishing tournament of August in Plattsburgh was also the last in the Lake City for the summer. The American Bass Anglers Open Series featured a smaller group to close out the summer, with 18 boats competing for a cash prize of $3,000. That group featured several local anglers, including West Rutland, Vermont, native Tom Lavictoire, who took home the first-place prize. Lavictoire closed out the summer in Plattsburgh with back-to-back first-place finishes after the Major League Fishing Phoenix Bass Fishing League tournament at the marina the week prior. Lavictoire says his recent success stems from keeping his fishing tactics simple and old school to capture the biggest catch.
