Taking third place was the team of Jason Randell and James Cope. The two of them brought 2 fish to the scale for 5.57lbs.

Second place plaques will go to Matt Lisiewski and Alan Zamora. They fought a faulty trim motor forcing them to stay close to Temple Bar and at the end of the day weighed in 3 fish for 5.89lbs. Matt said "We had to stay close and worked all the points we could get to and caught all are fish with custom made jigs"

First place money went to Doug Jones and Matt Hoffert, with five keepers and two short fish. Doug said "We worked points around Temple Bar and some to the North...We fished between 5-15 feet and did not have to 'fizz' any of our fish. All are fish came on jigs and Texas-rigged worms."

Brent Becker showing the winning big fish a 4.51lb Largemouth.

Joe Raftery and Cory Robison take first place with 13.13lbs of fish

We lost a few boaters and nonboaters but picked up a few just before Saturday. The weather was perfect in the morning and the fishing was on fire. Of course this is Lake Mead and the wind never blows out there, by noon we had a 15 - 20 mph wind out of the South so those who ran out of Echo bay had to deal with some rough water. All said and done everyone weighed fish and it was a good turnout.

Greg cyphers came in with the big fish of 5.0 with Gary Freeman close with a nice 4.0 largemouth. With 8 boats we had 5 limits with an impressive weight of 75 lbs of fish! First place went to Joe Raftry and Cody Robison with 13lbs 13 oz, Second went to Greg Cyphers with 12lbs 4oz and Third went to Sam Shiers and Tom Martin with 11lbs 9oz
