Looking at the stats everyone caught a limit with only two boats from the field barely missing 20 lbs. James Allen and Mike Wharton took first place with 10 fish that weighed 31lbs. 9ozs. Great catch guys. The big bass of the day was caught by, let me see what was that name again? Oh yes it was James Allen with a bucket mouth that weighed 5 lbs. 10 ozs. You just wonder how does he find those big fish among all those little fish — and the gar??? Coming in a close second with 10 fish that weighed 29 lbs 9 ozs was Ricky Blakeney and Steve Britt Jr. What a day at Chotard!!! Hopefully, we’ll have the same results, or even better when we go back there in November.
