What a beautiful day for the Cashion Fishing Rods ‘End of Year’ Team Tournament Bass Fishing Trail Qualifier #4 and the 41 teams that participated! Air temps ranged from 72 in the am to 82 in the pm. The winds were pretty much light to variable, maybe 5 mph at times. Water temps averaged 82 degrees and the rain did not show up. Fish were scattered with some caught in shallow water on most plastic worm combinations. Others were caught using crankbaits, spoons & jigs in deeper water.

David Hall & Dane Sallinger landed 5 bass weighing a total of 23.05 lbs. taking 1st Place worth $1,000 and 1st TWT, bringing their total winnings to $1,735. The 2nd Place Team of Jaime Fajardo & Josh Hooks weighed in 5 bass weighing 21.38 lbs. They also won the 2nd Place TWT & tied for 2nd Place Big Fish to take home a total of $1,013. Big Fish for the day was caught by James Phillips weighing 7.05 lbs. & earning him $574. 5th place Team Member Todd Massey won the Tow Boats US Member Award of $50.

93 bass were weighed in for a total of 314 pounds. This averaged 3.37 lbs. a fish and they were nice and healthy looking and some still were carrying eggs..??
