Edwin Evers had one word to describe how he felt Sunday.
"Awesome, awesome, awesome," he said after catching an 8-13 "mule" on the final day and rallying to victory in the Bassmaster Elite Series Power-Pole Citrus Slam.
Targeting the backwaters of the St. Johns River system, he weighed in 19-0 to total 77-1 and shut out three-day leader Alton Jones and hard-charging local favorite Terry Scroggins.
Trailing Jones by about 2 1/2 pounds before Sunday's finale, Evers sealed his sixth Bassmaster victory by overtaking Jones and besting him by almost 3 pounds.
Jones' sight bite, which included the event's biggest bag of 26-9 on Day One, died, and he only brought 13-2 to the scales Sunday. He finished in third place with 73-12, leaving second place to Scroggins, who moved over him with the day's biggest bag of 20-4 for a 74-3 total.
