The Florida Parish Bass Anglers were greeted at their April club tournament with a Tchefuncte River that had been at flood stage six days prior only to have a North wind blow all the water out of the system making for an absolute grind of a tournament. With temperatures dipping into the high 30’s at blast off and only warming to the low 70’s all the teams had a hunch that it would be a long tough day on the river. The hunches were evident and true as teams checked back into the takeoff site at 3pm. No five fish limits were brought to the scale and below is how the top 3 teams faired during the day.
1st Darren Welch & Derek Paternostro 8.14lbs
2nd Jason & Trenton Pittman 6.29lbs
3rd Chad Babin & Tyler S. 3.55lbs

The Mister Twister Big Bass of the tournament went to Darren Welch with a fish weighing in at 4.68lbs and that fish earned him the Big Bass prize money as well as the tackle package provided by Mister Twister.
