FISHERMEN FOR THE HUNGRY
Lake Blackshear

Mike Barnhart and Jason Bryan took First Place and a check for $1,200 by flipping jigs in current and skipping docks on the main part of the lake. Their five fish limit tipped the scales at 13.90 lbs

Michael Padgett and Scott Holland was not far behind with a five fish limit weighing in at 13.76 lbs. They fished plastic worms all day and earned $600 for Second Place.

We had an absolute tie for Third Place and with the lowest boat number being our tie breaker, Jimmy Troxell and Edwin Oliver won out and earned a check for $500 with 11.76 lbs. Their technique consisted of crank baits and plastic worms.

Fourth Place and a check for $400.00 went to Jimmy Sharp and Trey Collins with 11.76 lbs. Their fishing time was cut short due to motor problems but their early efforts paid off by fishing jigs.

Our BIG FISH for the day was 5.32 lbs and caught by Ray Odum Jr. and Lester Roberts. This fish earned their team a check for $300. They caught their three fish, weighing in at 10.46 lbs total, on a Flying Lure. Their team also received two $50 Gift Certificates from BIG BEAR RODS who sponsors our big fish at each event.

Each member of the teams listed above where presented beautiful Plaques by MARS SNACK FOODS U.S. saluting their efforts.
