No Problem Finding Fish Today

It was our smallest turnout to date in the current season, but I expected reduced numbers. Six boats with a total of nine anglers motored away from the boat basin this morning in a light rain.

The man walking away with all the "marbles" today was Mark London (pictured here), who weighed five hefty bass that totaled 15.59 lbs. He also had big fish at 4.22 lbs.

The other participants today finished as follows:

     * The team of Lenny Hall and Gary Coderre, five fish, total weight 14.37 lbs., big fish 3.52 lbs.
     * The team of Bob Glass and Randy Conkle, five fish, total weight 9.29 lbs., big fish 2.36 lbs.
     * The team of Chris Fretard and Mike Miller, five fish, total weight 9.21 lbs., chose not to weigh their big fish.
     * Ken Testorff, five fish, total weight 8.16 lbs., big fish 3.35 lbs.
     * Steve Bailey missed weigh-in by a few minutes. However, he had fish in his livewell.

Those eight anglers who participated in the weigh-in accounted for a total of 25 bass weighing a grand total of 56.62 lbs., which translates into an average of 2.26 lbs. per fish.

Thus far, Ken is the only angler to have fished the required four tourneys necessary to participate in the season-ending two-day Classic contest. This list will grow considerably before the season ends.

For planning purposes, our next event is scheduled for next Saturday, April 27. Start time will be safe light (or approximately 6:30 a.m.). Weigh-in will be at 2:30 p.m.
