Fitzgerald wins FLW on the St. Johns River

Trevor Fitzgerald's first FLW victory came in a two-day BFL super tournament at the St. Johns River 11 1/2 years ago. He remembers it well. Chances are his most recent triumph there will stand out a little bit more. Fitzgerald, a native of Florida who cut his teeth as a bass fisherman along the St. Johns, came away with the victory at last week's FLW Series Southern Division opener with a three-day total of 57-12.
