Brownsville youth made a big splash once again at the Tennessee B.A.S.S. Junior Federation Tournament held Saturday, July 29, 2006, at Birdsong Resort on the Tennessee River. While Nick Kelly will not return to the national championship to defend his title, Brownsville Junior Bass Club member D. J. Frederick will compete in the 11-14 age division.
Frederick won the Tennessee Championship with four catches
that totaled five pounds, six ounces. Fellow Bass Club member Seth Mothershead
finished as runner-up with three catches weighing a total of 4 pounds, 11
ounces.
Frederick, 12, is the son of Dean and Janet Frederick and
plans to display his trophy at the family’s business, The Sportsman's
Connection.
