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!
