Second Place: Keith Leftridge and Tom Alsop caught the only limit of the day 14 lbs 14.5 oz.  Their anchor fish weighed 5 lbs 14.5 oz.
	Third Place: Mike and Jeff Bottorff managed four fish 12 lbs 12.5 oz		Fourth Place: Wes Willett and Jason Rissler snuck up on 3 nice fish 9 lbs 7.5 oz
	Fifth Place: Kyle Hendricks and partner Jim Kochanowski only found two fish but they both were nice. 8 lbs 5 oz		Second Big Bass: It a good thing dip nets do fall out of the sky or Rich Clark and partner Steve Messbarger might have lost this fish also .6 lbs 4 oz
	Close but no $$$$ Mike Vanek held first place and big bass with this 5 lb 13.5 oz fish.  Till the next boat weighed in.		Smithville Marine "Bonus Bucks"   Smithville Marine added an additional  $250 to Alsop and Leftridges winnings for a top 3 finish since they purchased their boat from them.

	First Place & Skeeter Real Money: Terry McDowell and Dave Peacock with a respectable bag of fish at 20 lbs 6 oz.  Their big fish weighed 7 lbs 4.5 oz which was only 5th big bass of the day.
	Second Place & Smithville Marine "Bonus Bucks": If you are only going to bring 3 fish to the scales Brian and Kim Murch caught 3 dandys.  17 lbs 1.5 oz with their big fish weighing 7 lbs 12 oz which was the 3rd big bass of the tournament.  These big bass specalist fish from a boat they purchased from Smithville Marine so Smithville kicks in an additional $250 "Bonus Bucks" to add to their winnings.
	Third Place and Second Big Bass: Team Todd Knnack and Ryan Bennett also thought the limit was 3 fish but what a nice 3 fish, 15 lbs 11 oz. and an 8 lb 3 oz anchor fish.		Fourth Place:  Scott Jones and Iven Anderes also received the 3 fish memo but caught 3 nice ones.  14 lbs 10.5 oz would be a great weight for five fish, but a 7 lb 9 oz kicker brings the weight up quick.
	Fifth Place: Bill Jones heard about all of the big fish biting and drove down from Nebraska to take home some money.  He and partner Greg Bahle also chose the 3 fish limit route.  14 lbs 10 oz with a little 6 lb 9 oz kicker.

Biggggg Bass:  Wes Willett managed to boat one of the largest fish weighed-in, in quite a while.   8 lbs 5.5 ozs  In a post tournament interview Wes told me the fish was caught on a hook.

	1st Place:  Jason and Wes fell one fish short of a limit but still managed enough wt. to win.  4 fish ll lbs 7.5 ozs.  Jason had also purchased  his Skeeter Boat from Smithville Marine which entitled him .to Skeeter Real Money $1,000 and an additional $5oo Smithville Marine "Bonus Bucks".
	Second Place: Shane Loya and Shane Voyles caught one of only two limits of fish but fell a little short with 11 lbs 1.5 oz for their second place finish.		Third Place: Jason Fulton and Russell Fisher had the other limit of fish at 11 lbs even.

	Big Bass: Jeff Saunders and Jin Nguyen turned one bite into big bass.  6 lbs 12 oz  Nice!!

	First Place, Smithville Marine "Bonus Bucks", Stratos 2X's $$:  Brian and Kim Murch made the big haul on both fish and money.  Four fish at 12 lbs 13.5 oz was just enough to pull off the win.  Purchase your boat from Smithville Marine,  and Kim did, and they will kick in an additional  $500 and make that a Stratos boat and Stratos will double 2X Stratos $$ what they won in the tournament.
	Second Place: Scott Odel and Tyler Shaw caught one of the three limits of fish, 12 lbs 12 oz, just 1.5 oz out of first place.		Third Place: Wesley Myers and  Bryce Gum also caught a limit at 12 lbs 6.5 oz.

	Big Bass: Jamie Kenslow and partner J.D. showed up with another big fish.  5 lbs 14 oz		Second Big Bass: Greg James and Kevin Cartwright with a nice 5 lb 12 oz fish.
	Jin Nguyen and Jeff Saunders were close but not close enough. 4 fish 8 lbs 10.5 oz.		Nice fish Travis, 4 lbs 15 oz, but where is your frontal lobe?

July 19th tournament photos

	First Place, Second Big Bass, Calcutta, Skeeter Real Money, and Smithville Marine "Bonus Bucks": Tom Alsop and Keith Leftridge struck the mother load of $$$ with five bass weighing 18 lbs 5 oz.  A 6 lb 1 oz bass that was just one ounce shy of big bass.  A $10 side bet yields $280, fish out of a  SKEETER boat and you collect $1,000 from SKEETER  "Real Money Incentive Program".  Purchase that boat from Smithville Marine and collect an additional $500 incentive money. When asked what they caught their fish on they replied "sharp hooks".
	Second Place: Bobby Whittaker and Tom Carlin thought they were destined for the winners circle but fell a little short with 5 fish 16 lbs.		Third Place: Steve Kelley and Rick Wilson with a nice limit of fish @ 13 lbs 12 oz.
	Fourth Place: Clint Turner and Andrew Austin show off one of their fish in a 4 fish bag weighing in at 12 lbs 14.5 oz.  A five pound kicker fish doesn't hurt your total wt.		Fifth Place and Big Bass: Team lucky Jason Rissler and Wes Willet only found 4 keepers but a 6 lb 1.5 oz big bass (one half oz bigger than Tom & Lefty's fish) really bumps up the wt. 12 lbs 2.5 oz. total.
	Sixth Place: Sterling Scott and Dave Biscari were on the 4 fish limit pattern also but with a 5 lb 8.5 oz kicker and total wt of 11 lbs 10 oz got a paycheck.		Seventh Place: Mike Vanek and Tim Mazur caught their limit of fish @ 10 lbs 14..5 oz
	First out of the Money: John Combs (who is looking for sponsors) almost made the paycheck line with 5 fish 10 lbs 10 oz that he and brother Jeff caught.		Jeff Saunders with his 3 keepers that he caught all by himself.

	First Place: Sterling Scott and Dave Biscari bring a limit of fish @ 16 lbs 15.5 oz.  A great day for these guys and a little overdue.		Second Place:  Clint Turner and Andrew Austin's limit weighed in @ 15 lbs 0.5 oz.
	Third Place:  Kyle Alsop bailed dad, Tom, out by catching most of their 5 fish limit weighing 11 lbs 11.5 oz.		Fourth Place:  Ryan Bennett and partner Todd Knaack went for the four fish bag @ 10 lb 9.5 oz.
	Fifth Place and Big Bass:  Steve Kelley and Rick Wilson could only get two fish in the boat but one was a monster @ 6 lbs 9 oz and total wt. @ 9 lbs 5 oz		Sixth Place: Jeff Saunders and Jin Nguyen took the 4 fish route at 9 lbs 1.5 oz.  Not bad if it get you a pay check.
	Second Big Bass:  A 6 lb 4.5 oz second big  bass of the tournament was almost enough to make David Allen smile.		What will a Harry Carr and three fish weighing 8 lbs 14 oz get you?  First place out of the money.  Close but no cigar!
