Meade County Kentucky High School Team,
Jared Raymer & Ethan Snyder, Wins First Ever
High School Fishing World Finals

July 24, 2010 - Raymer and Snyder, from Meade County High School (Kentucky) sealed the deal today with a sweet victory on the finale of the inaugural 2010 High School Fishing World Finals on lake.  Both walked away with $4,000/yr up to four year scholarships totaling $16,000 a piece/$32,000 from Bethel University, spots on the Bethel University Varsity Fishing team, $500 Cabelas gift cards, new Compaq laptops, a Berkley Prize Package including a Revo Reel and 30% Pure Fishing on  the TBF website, plus some heavy jewelry.  The weights were zeroed for the final day of competition, making the playing field level and the weigh-in intense.  Raymer and Synder were the last to the stage.  With only the team from North Canyon High School in their way, the Meade County team excited the crowd and themselves as the scale read 16lbs 2ounces, pulling them ahead by 2lbs to win it.

Raymer and Snyder earned the right to be called champions and did so with class.  Throughout the event these anglers displayed consistency, determination and sportsmanship at every corner.  In the end, their teamwork paid off.  “We found this one grass mat that held our fish the whole week,” Raymer said.  “We were throwing a strike king with a grey shad on it and we lived and died by the sword on that spot.  If there were no fish there we would have been in trouble all week,” Raymer said.  “Yeah, we just circled around, circled around, circled around,” Snyder added.  They proved to be consistent in their improvements each day.  Day one with three fish, day two with four, and today, with five fish both anglers stuck to their topwater pattern and never gave up.  “It just got better every day because we dialed in on what we needed to be doing,” Snyder said.  “It’s actually funny because we came into this event thinking a swim jig was what was going to work for us, and half way through the first day we just randomly tried out that grey shad; we had never thrown the bait in our lives,” Raymer said.  “It paid out big for us.” Read More
