SYRACUSE, N.Y. — After a slow and steady season

of progression through the ranks of nine first-year

BASS pros, Billy McCaghren of Mayflower, Ark., was

officially named

Bassmaster Elites

Series Rookie of the

Year after Day Three

of the Ramada

Champion's Choice,

the regular-season

finale at Oneida Lake.

McCaghren, 35,

surprised front-runner

Matt Herren during the regular-season finale, breaking

Herren's six-tournament grip on the ROY points lead.

A solid showing of 25th at Oneida propelled

McCaghren to first place among rookies as Herren

stumbled, finishing 76th.
