Hard Core Tournament – This a Major League Fishing (MLF) format (All Bass 10 inches and over count)
24 Members fish in hot and windy conditions with a total of 42 Bass caught.
There were several nights of very bright moonlight for the Bass to feed by prior to today’s tournament, so the less than aggressive bite proved challenging for most.
Only two members caught more than 5 fish, and there was only one Lunker over 5 lbs.
