2017 South Central Region - District 7 Championship

Day 2

October 21, 2017

The lake level appears to be dropping fast, but the weather was great today with just a few sprinkles and overcast skies with periods of sun.  The bite held strong for our anglers and day 2 did not disappoint.  Many teams brought in limits and we had a few bigger fish weighed today than yesterday.  Everyone seemed to be very impressed with the number of fish they caught and most were using soft plastics but the larger fish came off swim jigs.  Some of our teams were catching 40 -70 bass per day.

It was a real close race towards the end, but the team of Tom Mayne and Ronnie Durrett, Jr. squeaked out the win with a total two-day combined weight of 37.92 lbs.  Robert Moore came in a very close second with a 2-day total of 37.84 lbs. and third place went to Jess Mowery and Sonny Kopech with a total two-day weight of 36.92 lbs.  Big Bass on Saturday was caught by Jess Mowery and Sonny Kopech and weighed 7.29 lbs.  Payout was based on 35 teams and paid the top seven places plus Big Bass for each day.  Congratulations to all the winners and ones who qualified to fish our prestigious National Championship on Lake Guntersville in April.  For more information, go to fomntt.com and check out the results and standings.

This was a great event and we are truly blessed to have such a wonderful weekend.  Thanks again to all our sponsors, staff, and anglers for making this the greatest tournament trail anywhere and thank you, God, for loving us and allowing us to do this!

We want to thank all of our fine sponsors: Bass Cat Boats, Mercury, Power Pole, Berkley, Strike King, King’s Home, Marshall’s Marine, Duckett, Buckeye Lures, Gator Guards, Hydrowave, Jacobs Glass, Abu Garcia, and Rayjus.
