What a great day on the lake! 76 teams caught 364 bass for a total weight of 644.88lbs. A new trail record by over 15lbs. My partner and I were wondering if we were fishing in the same lake. lol Contestants reportedly caught these fish on a variety of baits and patterns including spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, frog type baits, and crankbaits. There was 46 six bass limits weighed. This by far was one of our best tournaments ever in our 9 year history. Mosquito is definitely on the mend. Event paid 9 places and 4 big basses.
