He weighed 149 pounds across seven two day tournaments, using slower deliberate techniques like pitching and flipping jigs to overcome spread out bass. Takes led the top 12 in the 2009 standings, with three wins and two runner ups shaping a consistent trio of top finishes in a six top-score system.
