If comments I heard from the 24 anglers in 13 boats who fished today's tournament are any indication, it would appear that bass are resuming their usual summer patterns. Several guys were talking about the fish who leaped and threw their baits or just pulled off en route to the boat--the same sort of things I experienced this past Tuesday when I was out doing a little pre-fishing for today's 7th event in our current series.
Despite all the missed fish, everyone brought fish to the scales today, including this duo of (from left) Dave Meers and Allen Napier, who captured 1st place with a five-fish limit weighing 12.46 lbs. Their big fish weighed 2.93 lbs.
Walking away with 2nd place today was this team of (from left) Steve Bailey and Jason Fittro, who weighed a five-bass limit totaling 9.91 lbs. Steve also took Big Fish honors with a bass weighing 4.64 lbs.
Third-place honors today went to this team of (from left) Al Napier and Chris Napier, who brought five bass to the scales with a total weight of 9.89 lbs. They didn't have a big fish.
Finishing in 4th place was the team of (from left) John Goodman and Mark London. They had a five-bass limit weighing 9.74 lbs., anchored by a big fish weighing 2.80 lbs.
Rounding out the list of anglers who took home a money envelope was this team of (from left) Ken Testorff and Rob Chatham, who won the mystery-weight drawing. They weighed four fish that tipped the scales at 5.85 lbs., which was closest to the drawn weight of 6.05 lbs. They didn't have a big fish.
Here is how all the other contestants finished today:
* The team of Chris Fretard and Mike Miller, five fish, total weight 9.43 lbs., no big fish.
* Bobby Moore, four fish, total weight 8.77 lbs., big fish 3.78 lbs.

Congratulations to all of the tourney winners, and thanks to everyone who came out today.
For planning purposes, our next event is scheduled for next Saturday, June 14, from safe light (about 5:15 or 5:30) to 2 p.m. I hope you can join us. Please know, too, that I plan to close registration for next Saturday's tourney at 5 a.m. sharp.
