The
first Bass World Sports event of the year on
Rend
Lake
was held on Saturday. The weather was great despite winds picking up
throughout the day. It made for tough fishing conditions and a rough
boat ride in to the weigh-in. Most fish are spawning at Rend but
some are already post spawn and are very shallow. The
fishing was very good with a large number of five fish limits and several
fish over six pounds weighed. Shallow brush was a common theme
of all the top finishers.
Leading the
way in 1st place was Lucas and Scott Lavanti of
West Frankfort
,
IL
. They weighed in a 5 fish limit for 19.43 pounds. They
took home $1,728 for first place and $250 for Ranger Cup. The team
caught their fish on the north end of the lake in shallow brush.
They used spinnerbaits and jigs to catch their fish and culled
through 9 fish throughout the day.
In
2nd place was the Zeigler, IL team of Billy and Jerry Walker.
Their limit weighed in at 17.34 pounds. They also caught their fish
around shallow brush with spinnerbaits.
Finishing
in 3rd place was Aaron Wehmeyer of
Smithton
,
IL
and Jason Thomas of Mt.Vernon, IL. They weighed in a limit for 16.43 pounds.
They caught their fish on the north end of the lake flipping
tubes in shallow brush and culled through 9 keepers for their limit.
Big
bass for the day was a 6.69 bass. It was caught by the team
of Jerry Bate of
Zeigler
,
IL
and Scott Kirk of
Sesser
,
IL
. They caught it on a tube flipping it into a willow tree on
the north end of the lake.
