Bob Kinley And Curtis Cernik

Results

Despite the wind and cool weather many large bass were weighed at our first Martinez tournament. This was the second tournament of the season and most all of the 24 boat field weighed in fish - half of them weighing in a limit. There were 87 fish caught totaling over 216 pounds. Three bass over 7 pounds were weighed in with one tipping the scales at 8.23 pounds. Several 5 and 6 pound bass were weighed in to round out 6 limits over 15 pounds.

1st place Curtis Cernik - Bob Kinley 18.07 lb 5 fish
2nd place Dave Mitchell - Roy Price 16.16 lb 5 fish
3rd place Jimmy Phipps - Brian Christensen 16.05 lb 5 fish
4th place Bob Horn - Jayson Kisselburg 16.02 lb 5 fish

The big fish of the tournament (8.23 lb) was caught by Curtis Cernik which netted him both big fish pots for a total of $680.00 and a new Competitive Edge fishing pole. Along with big fish he and his partner Bob Kinley won first place and took home $2220.00 in prize money. They caught the big fish flipping up river and finished out the limit by flipping and cranking the current. The second place team of Dave Mitchell and Roy Price flipped a jig and craw all day to take home $885.00. Third place went to Jimmy Phipps and Brian Christensen who caught their fish cranking in the Fishers and Ferguson area. They took home $680.00 for their effort. The fourth place team of Bob Horn and Jayson Kisselburg took home $385.00 by flipping brown Sweetwater Jigs with purple Super Pork. Congratulations to all our teams.
