Ok, RESULTS – Better late than never!

It was a rough morning, and the weather killed it for us.
We only had 7 teams, BUT the fishing was great! Check it out:

David Jara & Will Hines – 17.65 – $240.00
Trey ???? & Bryan Cook – 11.90 – $120.00
Big Bass Tournament – Jara/Hines – $60.00
Big Bass Side Pot – Jara/Hines – $140.00

So the first place boys found a 8.2LB toad and took it all!
Rumor is that it was early on top water…

Next Sunday, is our next tournament on Coleto. Lots of grass, lots of fish, can you find the bigger ones that it will take to take home the $$$$?
