The teams that showed up to fish the May edition of the Florida Parish Bass Anglers tournament out of Manchac were surprised to see the westerly wind that was howling after being “predicted” to not be a factor in the weather during the day. That didn’t stop several teams from making a little bit of a run within the boundaries in search of cleaner water that held winning stringers and at weigh in the top two teams were separated by less than a pound.
The Mister Twister Big Bass of the tournament went to Greg & Phat with a fish weighing in at 4.01lbs and that fish earned him the Big Bass prize money as well as the tackle package provided by Mister Twister.
The Regis Radiator Angler of the Year race is starting to take shape but it is still anyone’s to win and will heat up as the season progresses. After five tournaments and the drop points figured in the standings are as followed:
1st Jason & Trenton Pittman 298 points
2nd Greg Shelton & Phat Tran 292 points
3rd Lance Davis 290 points
