Jamie Hartman vaulted from 10th place to victory Monday in the 10-man final round of the Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Elite Series tournament on Lake Guntersville. The New York native who now lives in Arkansas started Friday with a 14-pound-13-ounce bag of bass - good for 46th place - but wound up with 79-10 for four days, capped by a 23-15 haul Monday for his first win in the series and $100,000. Practice last Tuesday was Hartman's first time to see the northeastern Alabama lake. Chris Zaldain from Texas and Matt Arey from North Carolina were second and third in the Scottsboro-based event with 79-4 totals, winning $25,000 and $20,000. Brandon Lester of Fayetteville, Tennessee, got $15,000 for his ninth-place 72-0.
