Our sixth event of the season took off to overcast skies that promised a shallow bite and some fun fishing.
The team of Ed Bauer and Bob Garner showed up with a jet boat and headed up the creek to pull out the victory and claim the SMI MARINE First Place Plaques and $1000.00 dollars . They landed a monster dog days of summer bag that tipped the scales at 17.41 pounds!!! This bag included the OUTDOORSMAN SPORTSHOP SECOND BIG BASS AWARD which weighed in at 4.83 pounds. I'm betting that some of those Bauer's Custom baits played a big roll in their win. Great Job Guys!!!
Second Place went to the team of Doug Ruster and TJ Edwards (Sub for Shane Peters). They brought in a nice limit hitting the scales at 13.03 pounds. Rumor has it they caught their best fish on one of their last casts of the day.
For the Third time this year the Bigbass of the tournament went to the team of Dale Brand and Dan Pennington with a 4.86 pound beauty!!! These guys know how to catch the big ones and they proved it again! Great Job!
THE DENALI RODS ANGLER OF THE YEAR RACE
HOLY SMOKES WE HAVE A TIGHT ONE!!! Who would of thought that after six events with one event remaining that the angler of the year race would be separated by less than half of a point!!! DJ Capps and Matt McClanahan maintained their lead by the slimmest of margins with 623.53 points followed almost in lockstep is Dale Brand and Dan Pennington with 623.14 points. In a distant third is Jerry Koller and Scott Davis with 607.23 points. But this is Lake Monroe so they are certainly not out of it.
I just want to say thanks to all the teams for coming out and a special thanks to all the sponsors for their support as well. I would like to give a special thanks to our Lake Monroe Division Sponsors: SMI MARINE (www.smimarine.com) out of Louisville who is the Legend Boat Dealer for our area and the suppliers of the plaques for our events.
