Overcast all day with windinclreasing in the afternoon. Made it tough for some but as always someone figured them out. That someone was the Grissom team.
Mark Grissom found them on wooded coves in 6-8 ft of water. His five fish stringer weigh in at 20.38 lbs. He also had a 5.82 lb kicker fish. Mark took home a check for $762 for his efforts.
Second place went to the team of Brian Jones and Rodney MlaDenka, also with five fish that weighed 10.98 lbs. Brian had the big bass of the day at 5.89 lbs. It was tough watching Gissom weigh in after Brian and get edged out of first place by 0.4 lbs.
