Time: 6:00 - 3:00
Ramp: Lower  Ramp Big Bass: Boyd Downey 4.06 Lbs
No, it’s not a reprint. The top 3 winners from the Belleville tournament 1 week ago were an exact repeat in the Trophy Bassmasters Knox Lake tournament this past weekend.  Andy Cripple was the top finisher with 5 fish and 13.50lbs. John Clark took second with 13.06lbs and 5 fish, while Bert Grubbs Jr. had 5 fish and 12.56lbs for 3rd place. Big bass winner was Boyd Downey with a 4.06lb largemouth. The Knox Lake trip is always 1 of the highlights of the season as the anglers usually encounter numbers of cooperative fish. Although the numbers were down somewhat the stats were still quite impressive as the 16 anglers scored 58 bass weighing 123.81lbs for better than a 2lb. avg. Nine of the members had 5 fish limits. Not so coincidentally, following their recent success, the trio of Clark, Grubbs and Cripple lead the Angler of the Year point race.
