By far, the highlight of the day was seeing B.A.S.S. professional angler Charlie Hartley at the boat ramp after the tournament. He asked how much weight it took to win and after he found out, he said, "I think I would have actually won that one!". That guy is awesome! We're rooting for you Charlie!
As for the tournament, it was pathetic. Bob Barnette and Dwayne Haga bested the field with 3 little fish weighing a grand total of 4.21 pounds. That's right. We held a tournament on West Lake Toho and it only took 4.21 pounds to win. Mike Calloway took second by himself with 3.99 pounds and Tim Iler and his son Joe took 3rd with 3.74 pounds. Ed Brewer earned big bass honors with a 2.53 pound giant.
The winners reported catching their weight using the following tricks:
- 1st place: flukes
- 2nd place: speed worms
- 3rd place: trick worms
