	Jones clinches Elite Series win on Florida's St. Johns River March 18, 2012 at 10:34 pm Alton Jones’ Sunday victory on the St. Johns River was all the sweeter for the redemption sprinkled on top. He finally got the St. Johns Bassmaster Elite Series win that slipped through his fingers last season. That memory, and the fact that he ran out of time Sunday to entice a lunker he could see on a bed, gave the Texas pro a few tense moments as he was waiting for the final-day trek to the scales.
