First Place went to team Pritchett/Pritchett with a 5 bass limit of 14.54lbs. The team caught their fish by using Shakey Heads tipped with Zoom Trick worms fishing around boat docks.
“It was cool to fish with my 5 year old son! He was very good with netting the fish!”
“This was my first tournament with U.S.A. Bassin and this division. Conrad Brothers Marine did a good job running the tournament. I enjoyed it and plan to fish more of them!” -Brandon Pritchett
A tie for Second Place went to team Gibson/Howard with a 5 bass limit of 13.22lbs. after a dead fish penalty and Team Green / Templeton also had 13.22lbs.with a 5 bass limit.
Team Gibson/Howard caught their fish on 10” worms in 17’ of water fishing schooling fish, docks and brush piles.
“Fishing was slow and boat traffic was heavy. The bites were far and few between, but we got the quality bites needed!”
“I’m impressed with U.S.A. Bassin and Conrad Brothers Marine division. It’s a fun and affordable series to fish. With the price of gas it is very affordable to fish!”
-Daniel Gibson
Team Green /Templeton caught their fish in 15-20’ of water on humps around brush piles using Texas rigged 6” Mister Twister, 8”, and 11” V&M worms in Green Pumpkin and Black.
“Fishing was hit or miss and tough. I had to work hard for the quality bites. I also had to fish by myself because my partner couldn’t make it.
“U.S.A. Bassin has a very nice setup! It was run very professionally, unlike most other tournaments. The director did a great job running it. I enjoyed fishing this division!”
-Matthew Green
Third Place and Big Fish went to team Anderson/Bauer with a 5 bass limit of 12.57lbs. and a Big Bass of 5.17lbs. The team caught their fish using Texas rigged worms in 20-25’ deep structure on creek channels. The big fish came off a dock on a Spro Little John crankbait that was modified to be like a swim bait.
“It was a slow bite all day and made it a tough day of fishing”
“This was the second U.S.A. Bassin tournament I have fished. The director does a great job running it. It was run very professionally, First Class!”
