Marvin Harris and Tony Bauer Win with 20.97 pounds!!!
The duo of Marvin Harris and Tony Bauer topped 22 teams fishing the 4th Get5Bass Winter Series Tournament of the season by catching 5 bass that tipped the scales at 20.97 pounds. With water temperatures ranging from 38 - 39 degrees in most areas, finding warmer water was key for this week's top finishers. Here's how the top 3 teams caught their fish:
Marvin and Tony started their day near the ANO plant, where they quickly landed 4 keepers on Rattletraps and Sweet Beavers. When the sun came out they headed towards a point on the lower end of the lake. The fish were there, and Marvin and Tony capitalized!!! Throwing a Rapala X-rap jerkbait, they proceeded to upgrade their bag. They landed 8 or 9 keepers on the day.
2nd place - Mark Hensiek/Bradley Stewart - 5 bass - 20.30 pounds - $400.00
Mark and Bradley successfully widened their lead in the AOY race by catching another quality sack. They fished mid-lake, where they threw jerkbaits (Lucky Craft Pointer 100), Jigs, and spinnerbaits to land their fish. Their sack included the day's big bass, a 6.08 pound "Toad". They caught 7 keepers on the day.
