Looks like a lot of anglers have been suffering from cabin fever, if today's 2024 season opener of the Dewey Mullins Memorial Bass Tourney Series is any indication. A total of 22 anglers in 13 boats showed up at the Pungo Ferry boat ramp this morning to do battle against one another.
When the dust had settled from the 3 p.m. weigh-in, the tally sheet revealed that these anglers had caught a combined total of 63 bass, weighing a grand total of 124.31 pounds. The math further revealed an average weight per fish of 1.97 pounds.
Leading the charge today was the team of (from left) Donald Armstrong and Andy Morath, with a five-fish limit weighing 13.06 pounds. Their big fish weighed in at 4 pounds even. In addition to finishing in first place, they also went home with the bigger of two side pots.The remainder of the field finished in the following order:
* Team of David Dozier and Richard Hall, five fish, total weight 10.78 pounds, no big fish.
* Team of Steve Bailey and sister, Jennifer Hannah, five fish, total weight 10.44 pounds, no big fish.
