The fishing was very tough on Lake Eufaula, for the sixth qualifying event of the Southern Oklahoma Team Tournaments. Only two five fish limits were brought to the scales and half of the field had only one bass.

Junior Waller, Duncan OK, and Kelly Jackson, Comanche OK, won the event with five bass weighing 7.23 pounds. They used white spinnerbaits and black buzzbaits in the mid- lake area fishing weeds and rocks. They had all five bass by 8 O'clock. First place paid $740.00. This is Waller and Jackson's second win of the year; they won the April Eufaula event. This win moved Waller and Jackson into fourth place in the Angler of the Year Race. J C & J Machine and Auto, and Waller Machine both of Duncan OK, sponsor Waller and Jackson.

Second place went to Mettie Hawkins, Duncan OK, and Kay Barton, Clayton OK, with five bass weighing 6.92 pounds. They won $368.00. Hawkins and Barton caught their bass on a white and chartreuse Diamond Back Spinnerbait, and on Bandits Crankbaits. They had four bass before 9 O'clock and the last one came at 2:15. All of their fish came out of the cove mostly on points.

Big bass of the event went to brothers Steve and Rusty Adams of Durant OK. The big bass weighed 3.43 pounds and paid $120.00. They caught it early in the day on a 3/8 oz blue and chartreuse Terminator tandem willow spinnerbait in stick-ups in the mid lake area.

David Williams, Broken Bow OK, and Shannon Cogburn, Bethal OK, are leading in the Angler of the Year race, with Harold Waller, Duncan OK, and Ben Garland, Chickasha OK, in second place. And in third place is Jay Symond and Tammy Palmer both of Coalgate OK.
