Time: 6:30 - 3:30
Ramp: Upper Lake Big Bass: Steve Barker 4.3 Lbs
The Trophy Bassmasters traveled to one of their favorite destinations this past weekend with visions of multiple big bass in their creels. What they found was quite different as is often the case in the world of competitive bass fishing. Results rarely meet expectations despite all the conditions seemingly aligned. Cool mornings with partly cloudy and mild afternoon temps greeted the 19 anglers for their 9 hour competition day. What is normally a slugfest with numerous anglers having 5 fish limits was not to be as this year’s version of Knox Lake surrenders only 2 such limits and only 36 total bass over 12”. Those 36 totaled 62.16lbs for only about half the normal total creel. Andy Cripple took the top honors for the 3rd year in a row with 8.56lbs in 5 fish. A close 2nd was John Clark for the 2nd year in a row as his 5 bass weighed in at 8.44lbs. Steve Barker collected the 3rd place and big bass awards with 3 fish at 7.67lbs and the 4.18lb big bass.
