Here's how the top 4 finishers caught their fish:
1st - Royce and Carl Davis - 5 bass - 11.89 pounds - $1,370
Royce and Carl caught their fish (4 smallmouth and 1 largemouth) dragging
Carolina-Rigged lizards and brush hogs (watermelon candy). Early in the day,
they caught most of their fish up shallow, but had to readjust and fish deeper
once the sun got high in the sky. They took home $1,370.00 for their efforts.
2nd - Kenneth Smith and Tony Higgins - 5 bass - 11.27 pounds - $740
Ken and Tony threw spinnerbaits
and Carolina-rigged soft plastics
(centipedes, lizards, and baby
brush hogs) to catch their 5 bass
limit (consisting of mainly
smallmouths). They commented
that they had an early bite and did
not catch a keeper after 11:30 AM.

Tie for third !!!!!!
3rd - Fred Martin and Tyrone Phillips - 5 bass - 10.06 pounds - $610.50
Fred and Tyrone put their G Loomis
Drop-shot rods to good use on
Saturday. They tipped their drop-shot
rigs with Zoom finesse worms (green
pumpkin ands watermelon) to catch
a mixed bag of fish (3 spotted bass,
1 largemouth, and 1 smallmouth).

3rd - Kelly Glover and Mike Keys - 5 Bass - 10.06 pounds - $610.50
Kelly and Mike used a run and
gun approach to their fishing on
Saturday. Although most of their
weight came from the Choctaw area,
they made it almost to the dam before
the day was over. They threw jigs
(PB & J color) tipped with green
pumpkin trailers to land their fish.
