A crowd of 25 boats showed up at the East Pearl River to fish the Double Nickel event on Tuesday. The weather was pleasant but the gnats were a clear reminder that the warmer weather is here. In the end it was Tommy Watkins who figured out the fish and brought in a 3-fish limit of 6.47 pounds. Watkins also caught the big fish of the day: a 6.47-pound lunker. James Harris came in second place with 6.04 pounds. Harris won second place big bass with a 4.04-pound fish.  Jerry Bullock came in thrid place with 5.94 pounds.

The Double Nickle Bass Club fished on a Wednesday this week due to the cancelation of the original tournament on Tuesday due to bad weather. It was a windy day as 16 boats showed up to do battle on an East Pearl River that was trying to clear up but still remained stained. In the end it was Bob Perry who figure out the fish and brought in a 3-fish tournament limit weighing 7.84 pounds. Perry also caught the big fish of the day: a 4.16-pound bass. In second place was CJ Pichon with a 3-fish limit of 3.84 pounds. Ron Hindman came in third place with a limit that weighed 3.72 pounds. 

The Liars and Lunkers had their second event of the year on Sunday March 24th, 2024 bringing in 17 teams to the East Pearl River. The Pearl was consistent with its usual spring time high levels of over 16 feet at the I-59 gauge on the west side, accompanied by overcast skies that prevailed the majority of the day alongside a very high tide brought in by the strong wind gusts. Many teams struggled to find or catch many fish in the given tough conditions, but on tournament day one team always manages to surprise everyone with what the Pearl is capable of. On this day, that was the team of Tyler Allgood and Steele Sessions bringing in an astonishing 19.66 pound stringer for 1st place, also anchoring their massive limit was big bass of the tournament weighing in at 7.23 pounds! Congrats to these gentlemen on a great finish! 

 We appreciate all the continued support from our anglers and can't wait for the next one on Sunday April 28th, 2024. For any inquires about our tournaments contact Morgan Schutte at 985-789-4503 or contact the Liars and Lunkers facebook page. ​
