The tournament was won by Pat Anderson and Michael Brown who had five bass that weighed 19.23 pounds. Their catch included some big smallmouth and largemouth.
Finishing second was the team of pro angler and guide Jimmy Mason and Lance Walker of Browning Sunglasses with a five-bass limit weighing 17.72 pounds.
