By My Records, Today Was All-Time Biggest Turnout

I'm not sure if the cooler temperatures had anything to do with it, but the anglers just kept coming this morning until we had amassed 19 boats in the water, with a total of 31 anglers onboard. As a result, we were able to pay four places. Today's money winners were as follows:

1st Place, with five fish weighing 13.94 lbs., the team of (from left) Al Napier and Jared Allbritten. Their big fish weighed 3.72 lbs.

2nd Place, with five fish weighing 13.56 lbs., the team of Chris Carmell and Charlie Reed (not pictured). Their big fish weighed 4.01 lbs.

3rd Place, with five fish weighing 11.75 lbs., Jim Wilder. He also had the Big Fish, with a bass that weighed 4.57 lbs.

4th Place, with five fish weighing 11.35 lbs., the team of Mike Evans and Joe Glazebrook (not pictured). Their big fish weighed 3.80 lbs.








Here are the rest of today's results:
     * The team of Dave Meers and Mike Sims had five fish weighing 10.25 lbs. Their big fish weighed 2.67 lbs.
     * The team of Jeff Garnes and Danny Boyce had five fish weighing 9.83 lbs. They didn't weigh a big fish.

Those 24 anglers who participated in the weigh-in accounted for 60 bass with a combined total weight of 116.07 lbs., for an average of 1.9 lbs. per fish.

Five more anglers joined the growing list of those qualified to fish our season-ending two-day Classic by virtue of having fished four tourneys. Those five are Donny Kessel, Paul Celentano, David Dozier, Jared Allbritten, and Jeff Garnes.

Winner of the free T-shirt in today's raffle drawing was Dave Meers.

For planning purposes, our next tourney is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 7. Start time will be safe light (or approximately 6:30 a.m.), with weigh-in at 2:30 p.m.
