LAKE HAVASU MAY 8TH.
All teams checked in with a full limit of fish, it doesn't happen too often. The team of Tim Raff and Ed Shaver figured out how to get the 5 big one's, they had a whopping 18.57 lbs. They had second place big fish 4.50 lbs. They fish down around the Bill Williams, they worked there way back up fishing the deep point'' with a Brushog, that truly is a awesome bag of fish. It nets them $ 1435.00. And right on there heels was Danny and Larry Locatis with 16.03 lbs. they had a 3.87 lbs. kicker fish that net them $ 734.00 they also started at the Bill Williams and worked there way back up the lake, using a lot of top water.
Clint and Mike Goodwin took 3 rd place with 13.88 lbs. They had a 3.20 lbs. kicker fish and that nets them $ 370.00.
4 th Place was 13.54 lbs. with a 4.10 lbs. kicker fish went to Clay Wagar and Brent Mc Kay, they picked up $ 100.00 worth of option money.
Jim Waits caught the biggest large mouth; it tipped the scale at 4.71 lbs. real nice fish. He put $370.00 in his pocket.
He had quite a time landing this fish, he was fishing by himself when the fish seen the boat, the fish decided he didn't want a ride, to the point Jim had to start his motor and follow him around to the next cove, were he went into the tulles and him and Jim had a tugawar, but Jim finely convinced him to come out of the tulles and take a ride to the scales. Good Job Jim!!!!!
