USA BASSIN - Geist/Morse Division - Morse Results, 4/18/2010

Congratulations to Wade Amos and John Stafford for winning the opening event of the USA Bassin Geist/Morse Division on Sunday, 4/18/2010 at Morse Reservoir!

Post-frontal conditions and cold overnight temps into the 30s made for a difficult day for most anglers, as there were no 5-fish limits brought to the scales and alot of very talented teams participating. 20 Teams participated at the season opener, and as always at Morse, some big fish made their way to the scales.

Amos & Stafford had two fish for 8.97# and took home $320 for 1st place. Their catch was anchored by the big fish of the day, a 5.50# beautiful, Morse pre-spawn female that also earned them an additional $130 for 1st Big Bass. Kevin Allen and Tom Curts took home $190 and 2nd place, with three fish weighing 6.97#. Terrance Smith and Matt Borushko took home $120 for 3rd place, with three fish weighing 6.73#. Kenneth Smith and Ernie Thein took home $70 for 4th place, with three fish weighing 6.65#. 2nd Big Bass of the day went to Donnie Vaughn and Jeff Huffman, earning them $60 for their 4.32# fish.

Wade Amos & John Stafford are also now the Points Leaders for the Geist / Morse Division after the 1st of 5 events. The Divisional Points Champions will fish at the Regional for a chance to become the Regional Points Champions and advance to the National Classic next May on Kentucky Lake, for a shot at $2500 in cash and the National Points Champion Award!

Reminder that our next event will be held at Geist in two weeks on Saturday May 1. We will take-off at safelight and launch in conjunction with an Anglers Dream event going on at the same time. You are eligible to fish both events if you wish.

All results & pictures will be posted online later this week at [url]www.usabassin.com[/url] - check back for those. Thanks to all that fished with us this weekend - we should have a great turnout at Geist at our next event!
