In East Tennessee November normally means the changing and the falling of the leaves, football and sometimes even snow. But November 1, 2003 was 80 degrees with plenty of sun. The great thing about this day was there were no jet skis on beautiful Douglas Lake. With the sun coming up over the Great Smokey Mountains and the fog lifting off the water it left no one to wonder that yes there was a God and he was a great artist.

Even though it was a beautiful day to fish and be outdoors the fishing was tough but someone always figures it out and this day it was the team of Randy and David Collinsworth who came to the scales with a huge bag of fish. Their bag of fish hit the scales at 15.49 pound giving them their first Anglers Choice victory of the year. The Collinsworth reported staying on the lower end of Douglas Lake fishing back in the creeks using crank-baits and spinner-baits to catch this big bag of largemouth bass.

Second place went to the father and son team of Michael Hyde and Mike Hyde. This talented team came to the scales with a limit of fish weighing 12.66 pound to give them a second place finish. The Hydes reported catching their fish on crank-baits never leaving Flat Creek the entire day
As I have been saying fishing knows no limitations and that is why it is such a great sport. Last month we had a team win the tournament on Cherokee that were 55 plus years old and this month we had a woman catch the biggest bass of the tournament. That right Joyce Cooper of Crossville Tennessee beat all the men with a beautiful 5.13pound bass. Joyce reported catching the fish on a rat-l-trap, but for some reason she just couldn't remember what color. Way to go Joyce!

In closing Angler's Choice staff would like to thank all the fishermen that came and fished. Please remember that the next tournament will be on Cherokee Lake on December 13,2003 I wonder if it will be 80 degrees then?
