    Nearby Mineola, Texas, resident Rodney Stovall listened to his own fortune and won a fortune at the 24th Annual McDonald's Big Bass Splash at Lake Fork, Texas.

    Stovall netted a first-place 2010 Dodge Ram truck and a Triton Bass boat powered by a 150-hp Mercury motor and cash in hand for catching the largest fish of the tournament on a Carolina Rig, a 11.06-pounder. He told tournament director Bob Sealy, is luck came from a fortune cookie.

    "I kept that fortune from that cookie cause it was about my birthday in October," Stovall said. "It read that I would come into a fortune before my birthday. And look at this it's true."

    Stovall had to wait one day after catching the prize-winner in the noon hour on Day Two and returned for the ceremonies to present the top five anglers of the tournament.
