Dwain Crumby The Double Nickel Bass Club fished on an overcast morning with a light breeze that continued until later in the day. There were 23 boats that showed up to compete for bragging rights and a cash pot. The water appeared muddy from a distance but was more of a stain once anglers started fishing. The river was still high, and the tide started coming in later in the morning. Some anglers went south while others headed north. Everyone was a little concerned about the rain, but they made it through without issues. In the end, it was Bob Perry who came in first place with a total weight of 7.73 pounds. Perry also won the big bass pot with a 3.74-pound fish. Bill Dorris claimed second place with 7.48 pounds and second place big bass with a 3.57-pound fish. Tommy Watkins took third place with 7.06 pounds.
