Some Battery Problems, But Otherwise a Good Day


Three of the 11 boats that participated in today's third event of the 2014 series experienced dead-battery problems. In two of the cases, the anglers on board had a limit of fish that never got weighed in. All, however, made it back to the marina.




Capturing the 1st-place limelight today among the 17 anglers was this team of (from left) Mark London and John Goodman. They weighed in five bass with a total weight of 15.25 lbs. Their big fish was a 3.67-pounder.







Claiming the 2nd-place prize money was this team of (from left) Mike Miller and Chris Fretard, who also weighed five bass with a total weight of 12.44 lbs. Their big fish tipped the scales at 4.20 lbs.






This team of (from left) Gary Coderre and Lenny Hall pocketed the 3rd-place envelope for their five-fish limit weighing 12.37 lbs., anchored by a 4.23-pounder that Gary caught. He subsequently walked away with big-fish honors for the day.




The final team to take home some money today was (from left) Bob Glass and Randy Conkle, who won the mystery-weight drawing. They boated five bass with a total weight of 7.25 lbs. but had no big fish. That weight came closest to the one drawn, which was 2.90 lbs.



Here is how everyone else finished the competition:
     * Chris Napier, five bass, 12.11 lbs., big fish 3.79 lbs.
     * John and Jamie McLaughlin, four bass, 7.74 lbs., big fish 3.08 lbs.
     * Steve Bailey, Skip Schaible, Brent Gregory, the team of Bobby Moore and J. P. Twohig, and Ken Testorff didn't weigh any fish.

The field today weighed a total of 29 bass, with a total weight of 67.16 lbs., for an average weight of 2.31 lbs.

For planning purposes, our next event is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, from safe light (about 6 o'clock) to 2 p.m. I hope you can join us.
