Kevin Bates had a limit of bass coming in at 12.6lbs which was good for second place. Trusty old Matt Ruggiero keeping us on our toes had a limit of bass coming in at 12.4lbs for third place.

What a great weekend to fish the Lower Colorado River for our second tournament this year. Eight anglers made the trip to Yuma for our two day tournament. The fishing was great during practice and during the tournament, our anglers were able to convert and find some very nice fish. Tournament big fish was a six pounder daylight by Jay Wilson who ultimately ended up in second place. Matt Ruggiero bagged over 33lbs including a 5.8 lb bass for the win. Ian Bates was third with 22 lbs.
Saturday night everyone feasted on grilled NY strip steaks and bake potatoes. We also had some awesome grilled kingfish steaks provided by Mike Lerwill. It was nice to see Duane Caballero one of our past members who moved to Arizona. Duane made the 3.5 hr trip from Kingman to fish with Jay.
Oh, and the weather was hot.😀
