Beautiful weather greeted a record field of 33 teams for the 2007 C.A.S.T. opener on the Le Homme Dieu Chain near Alexandria , MN . The fishing was a good as the weather, with 30 teams weighing in limits. 

In the end, Terry Tretsven and Kim Gibson led the field with 15.26 lbs, anchored by the Big Fish of the tournament - a 4.12 lunker that just edged out a 4.11 pounder brought in by the team of Steve and Patricia Howard. Terry and Kim were able to net the 1st place cash of $615, the Big Fish Pot of $310, as well as the Bonus Bucks payout of $206 for a total of $1,131 - the biggest single team payout in C.A.S.T.History. 

Second place went to the local team of Brett Bloedorn, fishing with his mother, Nancy with a nice bag weighing 14.86 lbs and cashing in on $300. 

Third place went to Steve Kordosky and Jennelle Shockner with 14.44 lbs. Steve and Jennelle netted the $150 third place money along with second place Bonus Bucks cash of $103 for a total of $253. Money was paid to 7th place, and every ounce mattered as the rest of the field was within a couple pounds of cashing a check.
