Southeast Texas started
out with a bang! 51 teams showed up for the first of
seven events at April Plaza on Lake Conroe. Clear skies
and low 70 degree temps made for a perfect season opener.
Fisherman reported good fishing all week but had trouble
on competition day. A limit could not be found and only
2 teams managed 4 weighers.
Brian Penso and Harry Durham
were able to overcome the high pressure system and put
together a winning combination. Brian and Harry cranked
and pitched 8' to 4' ft. shallows from the deck of their
2003 FTD Cougar. They managed to pull together a winning
sack with a weight of 15.96 lbs. Brain and Harry received
$1905.00 for first and $500.00 from Bass Cat for winning
out of their Cougar; giving them a total of $2405.00
for their first place finish.
2nd place went to the father
& son team of Terry and Brandon Reich, who once
again found their way to a top three finish. They weighed
in 3 fish that locked the scales at 13.77 lbs. Terry
and Brandon also had Big Bass of the event that weighed
6.89 lbs. They reported cranking the shallows with their
American Rod Smith rods to find the right three bites.
Their combined 2nd place and Big Bass finishes totaled
$1289.00.
3rd place went to the team
of Ronnie Wagner and Mike Reagan with a weight of 11.54
lbs. Ronnie and Mike also reported shallow water fishing
to produce their 3rd place sack. Their 3rd place earnings
totaled $761.00.
Rick Goodman and Chris
McMullen took 2nd place Big Bass with a kicker that
weighed in at 6.64 lbs. Chris caught the fish off of
an 8-12 ft. drop. Rick and Chris took eighth place and
2nd big bass for a total of $485.00.
Our next event will be
on Lake Livingston February 29th. Registration will
be at the Waterwood Country Club from 4-6 PM February
28th. We had a spectacular start on Conroe and expect
a bigger turnout at Livingston. We would like to thank
everyone who attended our last event and look forward
to seeing everyone on Livingston.
