"I have fished for so long, and I always knew that I could do this," an emotional Latimer said on the weigh-in stage. "I didn't do well, for a long time. This is not an easy sport. But I knew I could do it, and I kept going. All I've ever wanted to do was fish for a living. To win the $100,000 is great, but to finally have my trophy… that is so awesome."

1st place prize money was $102,500 while the guy who finished 2nd walked away with $30,200.

Latimer's one-two punch on the flat was flipping a Texas-rigged Z-Man Palmetto Bugz with a 1/2-ounce weight or finessing them out with a wacky-rigged Zoom Trick Worm.

See, I would’ve used a 1/4 oz weight... that’s why this guy is the champ right there.
