Idaho Takes Commanding Lead; Lippincott Sails Into First

With wind gusts up to 50mph on CJ Strike the anglers took a beating on day two of the 2012 Northwest Division Championship presented by Cabela’s in Mountain Home, Id.  The anglers weren’t the only ones, the winds shook the bite leaving the weights low and most anglers pulling up short.  Eric Lippincott from the Wyoming state team brought in 11lbs 15ounces to move into first with a total of 27lbs 15ounces, just eight ounces ahead of yesterday’s leader Jason Hickey.  Tomorrow, the anglers will leave it all out on the water as they face-off in the final day of the 2012 Northwest Division Championship.  The top two anglers, one boater and co-angler from each state, will advance to the 2013 Federation National Championship where they’ll vie for the national champion titles and the esteemed “Living the Dream” prize package, which includes paid entry fees as an FLW Tour Pro for the year and use of a wrapped Ranger Boat and Chevrolet truck.  There’s a lot on the line for these 60 anglers as the final day of the 2012 Northwest Division Championship begins tomorrow on CJ Strike Reservoir.

Eric Lippincott from Daniel, Wy., was worried about the wind yesterday but had goals to catch about 11-12lbs.  Today, he accomplished that goal to grab the top spot going into tomorrow’s final day weigh-in. Continue reading
