The winning team of Buddy Ford and Steve Erickson weighed a huge 22.52 pound limit. All five of their largemouth were over four pounds. They culled through two limits of fish caught on a chartreuse spinnerbait fished on main lake bluff and broken rock walls.

Bruce and I were right on the winners' heels with a 21.79 pound limit of largemouth. We culled through more than three limits of fish, most of which were 3 to 3.5 pounds. We were fishing the same pattern as the winners (For at least a few hours, even the same bank).

The big bass for the tournament was a monster 8.19 pound largemouth caught by Samuel Boles and Jason Disney. I didn't get a chance to find out how/where it was caught.
