“It was a tough day out there,” stated Harris. “We caught most of our fish on a swimming jig, and some on some soft plastics. We had seven keepers and culled two fish.”

Second place went to the team of Mike Culberson and Jesse Gloaves who were a mere 0.07 ounces behind the winners with 9.51 pounds. Third place went to Stephen and Tracy Whitehead who weighed in 9.42 pounds. The Whitehead’s were also awarded an extra $200 cash incentive for today’s tournament as they were the highest finishing team with a female team member.

The tournament’s highest finishing team with a child 12 or under as a member was Tim Parker and Peyton Hutcherson. The team of Parker and Hutcherson claimed the $200 cash incentive for that category.
