The fourth stop for the US U.S. Angler's Choice Tournament Trails Southern Oklahoma Team Circuit was on Broken Bow Lake May 4. And for a change, the first time this year, they had good weather and the fish cooperated. Five teams had limits of five fish. Every team weighed in fish. 40 bass were weighed in weighing 80.82 lbs with an average weight of 2.02 lbs.

David Williams, Broken Bow OK, and Shannon Cogburn, Bethel OK, captured their second win of the season with five bass weighing 11.92 lbs. Williams and Cogburn fished the upper end of the lake using pumpkin Zoom Craws, 7" red shad power worms, and a chartreuse and white Terminator spinnerbait. They slow fished around stumps and bushes in shallow, stained 69 degree-water. They had their limit by 8:oclock and caught fish all day. Williams and Cogburn received the first place prize of $767.00 along with winner's tee shirts from the Label Stable of Ardmore OK. Williams and Cogburn took over the lead in the Angler of the Year race with this win.

Second place went to Shane Lemons, Roff OK, and Dewayne Sutterfield, Ada OK, with five bass weighing 10.80 lbs.
