This morning around 2 a.m. Central time, it was raining galore. While we were doing sign-ups the fog had rolled in and you could not see 200 yards. We opted to put the take-off in a holding pattern in hopes that the fog lifted. For a while there the fog only seemed to get thicker. Around 8:20 a.m. we were able to see across the lake and up river so after playing the National Anthem, Dave Seaburg called out the first of 54 boats. We pushed back the weigh in from 3 to 4 p.m. Most of the anglers said the morning bite was very tough but come afternoon they were able to start getting them.
140 bass were caught and released alive with the average big bass weighing 2.23#.
Congradulations to Chris Pennington & Tim Wilsterman for bringing in the biggest limit of the tournament and the third big bass. Chris said that it was all about Tim today but he was good with the final results.
The results of the event are listed below and the results can also be viewed on our website along with the most current year to date standings.
