anglers took to the water the morning of July 7th in
search of a tournament winning stringer.
Tournament director Mike Glen organized the anglers and
began the take-off exactly at 6am.
Most anglers talked of a decent bite on Rend, but thought
the weights could vary, it would depend on which team got a big
bite. By the 2
o’clock weigh in time temperatures had reached near 90 degrees.
As the fish began to trickle to the scale it was apparent
that the fish had cooperated for several teams.
The early mark to beat was established at 15.40 lbs by
anglers Don Cockrum and Larry Wright Sr. that weight held strong
until the team of Duke Jenkel and Jeff Atchison weighed their
catch.
Atchison
and Jenkel’s five fish limit weighed an impressive 18.80 lbs,
which included the day’s big bass of 5.10 lbs.
This bag of fish withstood all other contenders to provide
them with the win.
