Fall Series Tournament Results

The water was high and dirty which seems to be the pattern of weather for this years tournaments so far. Many of the anglers reported they hooked several fish, but the size was not there. This event winner is Dave Craddock with a two fish total of 62.25 inches.
 Congratulations Dave!

Weight doesn't matter on Tournament Day
Joel Rubal finished in 2nd place in the Series Tournament.  Here is a picture of the 32.75" fish Joel caught tournament day. It was skinny and looked like it had already spawned. The Rubal team, father Joe and son Joel, sorted through 23" to 25" fish to get their fish to measure. By the way Joe finished 11th place.  Congratulations!
