​The last Bass Assassins tournament was scheduled for Crawfords landing however recent rains have pushed the river to over 16 feet and rising so we moved the launch location to the Hwy. 90 launch on the East Pearl.  The forecast for the day was for heavy rains and thunderstorms.  Despite these tough conditions we had 13 anglers show up to try their luck.  At the launch the water was muddy, low, and flowing out fast.  As the day played out the rains got harder, the winds harder and the lightning popping.  At the scales it was apparent it was a tough day.  Eric Ciko was able to come out on top of this tough event with a 11.16 lbs. limit to claim first and a 5.68 lbs. kicker to claim big fish honors as well.  

The Pearl River was high today as 19 boats fished the Double Nickel Bass tournament. Some of the anglers went north at blast-off and some went south. The ones that found clean water were able to top the list of winners.  Rob Watson came in the the heaviest weight and was able to take first place with 6.65 pounds. Bob Perry came in second place with 5.21 pounds. In third place was  Ralph Dunn who brought in a 3-fish limit of  5.11 pounds. Dunn also won the Big FIsh pot with a largemouth bass weighing  3.77 pounds. 

The Double Nickel Bass Club fished the East Pearl River on a foggy morning. The tide was low, however, a few anglers were able to find decent. At the weigh-in, Ralph Dunn weighed in the heaviest bag of 6.157 pounds. Dunn also won the big fish pot with a 4.108-pound bass. In second place was Bill Dorris with 5.150 pounds. Shorty came in third place with 5.106 pounds. Second place big bass went to Dwain Crumby who brought in a 3.240-pound fish.
