It was a wet and chilly day on the Upper Bay during our second tournament of the season.  Despite the conditions, the guys stuck it out on the water in hopes to catch a 21 lb limit (as Jon Crans prayed for just prior to launch). 

The tournament weekend started at Prince of Piece where the Rufenacht family shared great hospitality and a wonderful meal of pasta and fried chicken!  We all filled our bellies as Jack Whisted shared his message on what it means to be a fisher of men.  A huge thank you to the Rufenacht family and Jack for their time and support toward the tournament this past weekend.

As three o' clock rolled around on Saturday, the 22nd of April the bags started coming in with large and small mouth bass.  Our lunker of the day was weighed in by Brian Barth and Brett Anderson with a total weight of 5.86 lbs.  They also had the winning weight with a 5 fish limit and total of 26.07 lbs!  Second place was secured by Tom and Jimmy Rufenacht also with a 5 fish limit and total weight of 21.74 lbs.  Third place was taken home by Billy Wiley and Bruce Ostrowski with a 5 fish limit and 20.52 lbs.

Even though we may have went home with soggy shoes and numb finger tips, it was still a great day on the Upper Bay!  Looking forward to seeing everyone on the Potomac, 13 May.
