Such was the lot of those 26 anglers in 16 boats that fished the 2014 Dewey Mullins Memorial Bass Classic yesterday and today out of West Neck Marina. While yesterday was marked by high water, the opposite was true today. Despite these conditions, people still found fish.
Leading the pack was this team of (from left) Jared Allbritten and Chris Napier, whose two-day total was 25.32 lbs. Jared also claimed the big-fish pot with a Day 2 bass that weighed in at 4.30 lbs. For the benefit of those who may not already know, this pair further has earned the title of 2014 Region 7 Anglers of the Year.
Finishing in 2nd place was this team of Day 1 leaders, (from left) Chris Fretard and Mike Miller. Their two-day catch totaled 21.55 lbs. Their big fish for the event tipped the scales at 4.22 lbs.
Taking home the 3rd-place envelope was this team of (from left) Jesse Munden and Gary Coderre. Their total weight for the two days was 20.18 lbs. Their big fish for the tournament weighed in at 3.84 lbs.
Coming in at 4th place was this duo of (from left) Jeremy Gatewood and Mark London, who weighed a total of 18.54 lbs. Their big fish for the tournament tipped the scales at 3.20 lbs. I also should note here that Mark is our 2014 Angler of the Year, having amassed a cumulative total weight of 168.35 lbs.
And rounding out the winners' list was this angler, Ronnie McLaughlin, who walked away with the Seasonal Lunker Award. He kicked off our 2014 season with a bass he caught during our first tournament that weighed in at 7.15 lbs. Ronnie also won the mystery-weight drawing today. He had a two-day total weight of 3.30 lbs., which was closest to the 3.20 tab that was drawn.
Here is how everyone else finished the two days of competition:
* The team of Bob Glass and Randy Conkle, total weight 15.01 lbs., no big fish.
* Steve Bailey, total weight 14.76 lbs., big fish 2.88 lbs.
* The team of Al Napier and Red Bruun, total weight 12.83 lbs., no big fish.

Overall, these 26 anglers weighed a grand total of 113 bass in their two days of fishing. The total weight was 192.91 lbs., and the average weight was 1.70 lbs.
Congratulations to all of our Classic winners, and thanks to everyone who supported the Dewey Mullins Memorial Bass Tourney Series throughout the year.
This event concludes our 2014 season, but I'm already working on preliminary plans for 2015.
