Tournament Five - Ross Barnett Results

Well - we are half way through the year.  Truly hard to believe.  Saturday marked our 5th tournament of the year and it was held on Ross Barnett.  19 anglers participated.  Anglers were treated to cloudy skies until about 9 and then the wind and sun dominated the rest of the day.  A good number of fish were brought to the scales, it was the bigger ones that stayed away from just about all anglers.  At the end of the day it was Steven Bailey who brought the biggest bag to the scales with 5 fish totaling 12.98 lbs.  When you are hot you are hot!!  Steven Bailey loves him some Ross Barnett doesn't he!  In three tournaments this year he has a second place (with the lunker for a total of 18 points, and two first place finishes!  Nicely done Dig Pro and Outboard team member!  Johnnie Baker does what Johnnie Baker does on Ross Barnett and that is take our lunker money.  This time he did it with a 5.11 lb fish.  Below are your top five from the weekend:

1) Steven Bailey 12.98 lbs
2) Dan Stokes 12.52 lbs
3) TJ Hare, Sr 11.42 lbs
4) Charlie Moore 8.68 lbs
5) Greg Horne and Johnnie Baker with a tie of 8.51 lbs 

It is worth mentioning that the AOY is basically a two horse race right now with 5 to go.  TJ Hare, Sr. (who has finished 3rd or better in 4 of 5 tournaments and the other tournament he was 5th) is out front with 73 points, followed closely by Steven Bailey with 65.  Then you have three tied at 51 (Charlie Moore, Greg Horne and Carl Sandberg).  Still a long ways to go and we get to cull two tournaments.  Finish strong and anything can happen.

Team news:  The outboards show up and represent again!  Thank you team - RB, Mike, Steven, George, Greg.  Just think what we could do if Austin Banks would show up!!!  Second were the Tungstens, last Dead Ringers.

Below are some pics.  I was too busy talking and weighing fish and forgot to take pics so it seems like the Larry and Steven show below.  I apologize for that.  Yall be sure and take some pics during the day and at the weigh in and send them to me so we can get more photos.  

Next tournament - Chicot on June 22.
