Going into Sunday's season finale in the American Bass Association San
Diego Region, John Kerr and Buck Buckhanan knew the pressure was on them
to have a great finish. Without the help of the teams behind them
stumbling, they needed a second or better to take matters into their own
hands. They sat only two points ahead of second-place Cameron Smith and
Chuck Lavigne, meaning in order to clinch the Angler of the Year Title
(their 3rd in a row).

Targetting schooling-fish in Harvey Arm at Chula Vista's Lower Otay,
Kerr and Buckhanan caught 18.2 pounds of bass to finish right there in
second and collect their 4th American Bass Association Angler of the
Year crown in the last 5 seasons.

Kerr and Buckhanan will be honored with their Angler of the Year awards
at the 2009 American Bass Association South Team Classic at Lake Mead on
October 2nd and 3rd.*

John Kerr has now won 13 Angler of the Year awards through American Bass
Association, WON Bass, National Bass West, and the Aim Marine Sunday
Series since 2002, making him clearly the most "decorated" tournament
fisherman in San Diego during that time.
