across the scales.

January Pictures:

And here are our winners. Just one of two limits
on the day and we hear a last minute catch on number 5. Great way to start
the year.
Shawn and Alec Castonguay with 5 for 21.66.

TD Jay Messersmith hard at work.

Two nice Hubbard bass.

We saw Jerry and John on the water and Jerry said they had two for about
6.
They weighed 5.97. Good scale in that arm Jerry.

Ronnie Pettis and Johnny Reed got the last check with their 3 fish stringer.
Vince with a nice 5 pounder.

Jimmy and Chance got 4th with 10 pounds even with just 2 fish.
One was a nice 6.18

David Simmons and Justin Garrett got 2nd Big Bass with this 6.75.
Shane Henderson and Chadd Dearen got second place with 18.19 on just 4
fish!
It was helped by Big Bass of the Tournament,
an 8.60 that Chadd caught on a crankbait.

Smile Chadd, that's a toad!
