High (and getting higher) water greeted the 15 anglers in nine boats that showed up to fish today's tournament at West Neck Marina. And while the total weights fell off somewhat, compared to the last two events, they still were respectable.
For the third time in as many tournaments, the team of (from left) Mark London and John Goodman captured 1st place with a five-fish limit totaling 13.15 lbs. Their big fish weighed 3.50 lbs.
Grabbing 2nd place was the team of (from left) Bob Glass and Randy Conkle, who also weighed a limit that tipped the scales at 10.37 lbs. Their big fish weighed 3.08 lbs.
This team of (from left) Chris Fretard and Mike Miller claimed 3rd place with a five-fish limit weighing 10.10 lbs. Their big fish weighed 3.74 lbs.
Big-fish winner today was Gary Coderre, who had a bass weighing 4.74 lbs. His four-fish total tipped the scales at 8.90 lbs.
Here is how all the other contestants finished the day's competition:
* The team of Skip Schaible and Ken Testorff, five fish (only one alive, though) for a total weight of 6.71 lbs. after a 1-lb. dead-fish penalty, no big fish.
* Steve Bailey, five fish for a total weight of 5.96 lbs., no big fish.
* The team of John and Jamie McLaughlin, five fish for a total weight of 5.74 lbs. no big fish.
* Bobby Moore, didn't weigh any fish.
Overall, our anglers weighed a total of 35 bass today, with a total weight of 68.44 lbs. and an average weight of 1.95 lbs.
My congratulations go out to all of these winners. I also want to thank everyone who participated.
For planning purposes, our next scheduled event is next Saturday, May 17. We'll start at safe light (about 6 a.m.), with weigh-in at 2 p.m. I look forward to seeing you there.
