Rick Duren Wins on Lake Hamilton!!!
Story provided by Ron Plate
17 boats fished the last fruit jar Anvil Jaw tournament for 2010. With the weather being unstable and calling for rain and falling temps, most fisherman did not know what to expect but were all excited to get out on the water to fish prior to the holiday season.
At the end of the day, everyone brought fish to the scales but Rick Duren found the big bite to win the event with a weight of 11.24 lbs.
1st Place - Rick said he caught all his fish on jigs in all ranges of water depth. His weight of 11.24 lbs also included the big bass of the day of 4.88 lbs.
2nd Place - Rob Stone said he also caught his fish on jigs. 9.03 lbs
3rd place - Ron Plate said he caught his fish mostly on crankbaits and a few on jigs. His weight was 8.79 lbs.
Balance of the Top Ten was: 4. Nick Mitchell - 8.46 lbs 5. Gary Hubble - 7.69 lbs 6. Will Morris - 7.64 lbs 7. Kevin Myers - 7.52 lbs 8. Doug Shrum - 7.48 lbs 9. Ken Kaczmarek - 7.23 lbs 10. Bill Cerrato - 6.53 lbs
