That's my take on today's tournament. The cloud cover provided some decent topwater conditions, and the cooler temperatures made for a rather enjoyable day for the 17 anglers in 11 boats who showed up to compete in today's event.
Topping all the contestants was this team of (from left) Chris Fretard and Mike Miller, who brought five fish to the scales weighing a total of 13.76 lbs. Chris also captured big-fish honors with a bass that tipped the scales at 5.82 lbs.
Finishing in 2nd place, also with five fish, was Mark London, whose total weight was 11.26 lbs. His big fish weighed 2.65 lbs.
Claiming 3rd place today was the team of Red Bruun and Al Napier (not pictured), who weighed a five-fish sack totaling 9.18 lbs. They didn't bring a big fish to the scales.
Also going home with a money envelope was the winner of the mystery-weight drawing: Gary Coderre. He weighed four fish with a total weight of 4.88 lbs., which was closest to the drawn weight of 4.70 lbs. He didn't have a big fish.
Here is how all the other contestants finished:
* The team of Jake Milligan and Zack Rhodes, four fish, 8.31 lbs. total weight, 3.52-lb. big fish.
* The team of Randy Conkle and Bob Glass, five fish, 7.35 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* The team of Mitch Portervint and Skip Schaible, five fish, 6.67 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* Wayne Hayes, three fish, 5.90 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* The team of Rob Chatham and Ken Testorff, five fish, 5.65 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* Jim Bauer, four fish, 5.23 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* Steve Bailey didn't weigh any fish.
Overall, the anglers today weighed a total of 45 bass for a total weight of 78.19 lbs. The average weight was 1.73 lbs.
For planning purposes, our next event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 23, from safe light (about 6 o'clock) to 2 p.m. I hope you can join us.
