Slow Day--Only 3 of 10 Weigh Fish

Mark Ingram (right) claimed 1st-place prize money today in the 6th event of this 2013-14 series held out of Bob's Fishing Hole. His big bass tipped the scales at 2.13 lbs. Walking away with 2nd-place prize money was Jim Sumrell, with a bass that weighed 1.73 lbs.

Here is how the other competitors finished today's event:
     * 3rd place, Greg Dick, with a 1.66-lb. bass.
     * 4th place, Cathy Brandt, Ronnie McLaughlin, Ant McLaughlin, Kevin Love, Bob Clarkson, Eddie Sapp, and John Goodman, all of whom came to the scales empty-handed.

A couple of factors figured prominently in these results: cold water (running 40 to 45 degrees) and muddy conditions.

Today's tournament added another $10 to the end-of-year pot, bringing it to a current total of $50. Still in the lead for this prize is Eddie Sapp, who weighed a 3.64-lb. bass in the Nov. 17 tournament out of West Neck Marina.

The next tournament in this series again is scheduled for Bob's Fishing Hole on Sunday, Dec. 22. Start time will be 7:30 a.m., with weigh-in at 2 p.m.
