Week 3: David McGinnis and Lee Morgan are our winners!

That's a wrap on week 3. We had a lot of big fish weighed in last night and a lot of great bags! Our fishermen had good weather conditions, as it was pretty warm yesterday, even though it was windy.

We had David McGinnis and Lee Morgan take first place. Their 5 fish totaled 15.04 pounds - our biggest bag so far this competitive season! They got Big Fish too with a 6.22 pounder!

Second place went to Jonathan Harris and Fischer Houser, who got 5 fish at 11.48 pounds total. Next up in third place was Charlie Burns and Greg Lawson. Their 5 fish totaled 10.95 pounds! They also came close to getting Big Fish with a 4.10 pound bass. Honorable mentions include Ryan and William Campbell who got a 3.49 bass last night.

Week 2: Wolfe Pack takes first!

Week 2 of our Friday night bass tournament was great! We had 16 boats participate in the tournament last night, and everyone did very well. Even though it was rainy and windy on the fishermen, they persisted through and weighed in some biggun's! As we get further into the season, the bass sizes and weights are only going to get bigger, and we saw that last night! Our first place winners were The Wolfe Pack (Tyler and Mike Wolfe), whose 5 fish weighed a total 14 lbs even! They came close to getting big fish, with their 5.04 lb bass. Second place went to Ryan and William Campbell, whose 5 fish weighed a total 12.42 lbs. Ryan and William also got Big Fish with their 5.73 lb bass! Third place went to Hayden Teems and Charles Monte, and their 5 fish weighed 10.94 lbs. Close behind them, Jeff England got fourth place with 5 fish weighing 10.56 lbs. All together, our fishermen did very well last night! We appreciate all of you coming out. The turnout last night was great! Thanks to everyone who makes these tournaments possible. We will see you next Friday!
