Ron Plate and Bob Tidball Win on DeGray Lake!!!
28 teams of the 34 teams that were eligible to fish the Sherwood Classic showed up bright and early at Lake DeGray to fish for the season ending payout. Everyone was excited to fish but all had heard the bite was off the last few weeks and no one really knew what to expect. But with $8500 on the line, everyone put there heads down and fished hard for 8 hours as even a single fish was worth approximately $85 a pound in payout money. At the end of the day the team of Ron Plate and Bob Tidball came out on top with a weight of 7.90 lbs to claim the classic victory.
