Galyon and Scruggs Are on A Roll

After a 30-minute fog delay the third tournament of the East Tennessee U.S. Angler's Choice was underway. And it turned out to be a beautiful day with calm winds and bright sunshine.

After a second place finish in last month's tournament Shawn Galyon and Jimmy Scruggs pull off the win this month making them the hottest team in East Tennessee. Shawn reported catching his fish early in the day on a DD22 and a jig. This awesome team ran their Triton boat to the upper end of Watts Bar Lake to catch their fish. Their limit of fish hit the scales at 14.52 lbs. Which was anchored by a 5.62 lb. largemouth the big fish of the tournament. With this win Shawn and Jimmy take over the point race.

Second place went to Johnny Murray and Ray Luttrell. This new team ran their Mercury powered Ranger to the mid-section of the lake to weigh in a 5 fish limit that hit the scales at 13.53 lbs. Ray report catching their fish on soft plastic from deep water.

Third place went to last year's anglers of the year Frank Byrd and Ralph Loveday with a limit of fish that hit the scales at 13.22 lbs. This quiet team reported catching their fish on plugs in deep water. Their bag was anchored by a 4.53 lb. largemouth.
