A very impressive stringer of five bass was delivered to the weigh-master by the father-son Team Chad and Carl Poulsen. Five healthy fish weighing 30.98 lbs, including the 8.27# big bass of the day, drew the attention of the crowd at weigh-in time. When asked if they “caught-em deep?”, Chad responded “No, we caught them all over the place really”. I accepted his answer but wondered if he wasn’t protecting his tactics to some degree as the Club tournament will be on the same body of water a week from now. I can’t say that I blame him! Congratulations Chad & Carl on a great stringer and an $800 first place check.
Second place went to Jimmy Burgess and Brian Porter, also with a five fish limit that tipped the scales at 18.58 lbs. A respectable stringer in any tourney. Their stringer also included a kicker that went 6.76 lbs. Congratulations Jimmy & Brian on second place and a check for $400.
Third place went to Ryan Robinson and Steve Green out of Tyler Texas. They also delivered a five fish bag that weighed a solid 12.50 lbs. Congratulations Ryan and Steve and thanks for fish the NE Region Team Trail.
The next NE Region Team event will take place on Lake Palestine on February 25th and go out of the Dam Ramp. Get in the game with your favorite fishing buddy and make a run for the Classic!!
