Story by Cody Kemp
Scott Suggs and Johnny Rowton topped the 15 boats that came out and braved the wind, lightning, and rain that passed through Monday night, with 17.35 lbs They caught there fish in the mid lake area, but did not comment on what was used to catch their fish. For there good sack they received $230.00
2nd place - Tyler Whitley and Cody Kemp
The front really had the fish chomping for me and my partner Tyler, as we culled 4 or 5 times on the night with the last time being a solid 4.2lb toad around 10:30. 4 of our fish were caught on a Reaction Innovations Big Unit worm. The other was caught on a jig. All of our fish were around 15 foot of water on the outside edge of the grass. We thought we had around 18 lbs going into the weigh-in but without a light on a dark rainy night we over- estimated our catch by a couple pounds. We finished second with our bag of 16.18lbs. This finish moved us back up into the points race after a few of the top teams had tough nights.
3rd place and Big Bass: Gabe Harrington and Jeremiah Kindy
Third place was another well known FLW competitor Jeremiah Kindy his partner for the night was Gabe Harrington, they brought in another good limit worth 15.87lbs and they also had the big bass of the night with a 4.83lb "chunk".
The points lead has been taken by the team of Blake Wilson and Chad Burrow!!!! They had another good finish tonight but couldn't find the quality bites they needed to get into check range. But their consistent fish catching has moved them past previous leaders Mason Hughes and Eric Waldroff. Close behind them is the team of Evan Hughes and Justin Allman, who have consistently brought at least one fish to the scales all year. Thanks to everyone that came out and endured the rough weather… see yall next week….
