Our first event of the USA Bassin Green River Lake team trail is in the books! 19 teams braved the cold wet forecast to be rewarded with a beautiful day to fish, even if it was a bit windy.

As for the fishing, the weights were down for a March tournament. Cone and Morgan managed to win it with a 15 pound limit that had no big fish, but no small ones either. All their fish came from the mid lake area between Ramp 1 and Holmes bend. Most were caught on texas rigged soft plastics, and one (the largest) on a #7 Shad-rap. All were caught 1-5 ft. deep.

There were four blanks, and four limits. Most people caught 2-3 fish. There was a very high proportion of big fish brought in, including a 6.25 largemouth that we couldn't count for big-bass as it was dead (angler said they caught it very deep on a jig). There was a 5 pound Smallmouth, a 5 pound KY, a couple more 6+ LM (6.19 pounds took big bass). Between 19 teams, there were 37 fish weighed in. About half of those were 3 pounds or bigger.

Here are the teams that finished in the money (and the Big Bass winner):

1st Place: Clint Cone / Bruce Morgan 15.16 pounds
2nd Place: Brandon Davis / John Bagby 14.60 pounds
3rd Place: Don Ingram / Ronnie Grant 11.75 pounds
Big Bass: Bradley Willis / Joe Collins 6.19 pounds

Our next event is April 20th and we look forward to seeing everyone out there!
