Shane Porter and Lynn Luther Win Team Bass Tournament on Bull
Shoals Lake

Story by Fred Edwards Jr.

For the second Team Bass Tournament Series Division #2 tournament in a
row, the weather played an intricate role in our tournament. FOG kept the
teams at bay for a 30-minute late start. But once the fog cleared the teams
went to work. This didn't hamper the dominating performance that the team
of Shane Porter and Lynn Luther are putting on the other Division #2 teams
with yet another win. Jerk baits seemed to be the choice of the day, or was it
simply a diversion??? Your guess is as good as mine. Second place went to
Fred Hale and Waco Johnson, just barley falling short by ounces. Third went
to the team of Ric O'neale and Jimmie Kassinger, falling short of the win by a
pound. Fourth went to the veteran team of Earl Garrison and Ron Weiss with
five fish any team during the previous weeks Stren tournament would have
done anything to take to a weigh-in. Fifth wasn't anything to snicker about,
one more fish and Rob Williams and Robert Burtrum have first in the bag
and a lot larger check. All these teams are winners in my book and will
clearly swap places back and forth the rest of the year. Some of the best
anglers in the state fish in our divisions. The remainder of the field can be
seen on our web site along with pictures of the day's events. Come join in
the fun!
