Congratulations to Chris Baumgardner and Glenn Sparrow District 3 Champions. This win is dedicated in memory of Charles McClure.
District 3 is in the books. Day 2 is always a little more laid back at blastoff. Most teams sleep in a litte later and mosey to the ramp not quite as early on Saturday. Blastoff went smooth as usual and the team were off to their hopeful spots to catch their limit. The weather cooperated again today but seemed a little warmer in the low 80's. The water was a starting to get more color from the rain that we had earlier in the week.
Our top team of Chris Baumgardner and Glenn Sparrow from the NC Foothills division had two days of consistent 5 fish limits totaling 27.49 that earned them over $3,000 for the event. Their key to success was staying in stained water and throwing a varity of baits from shakeyheads, crankin square bills and top water. Not far behind was the team of Mark and Zack Hicks from the SC Upstate division. They weighed in 25.37 for their two day total. Rounding out the top 3 was the team of Randy Cody & David Kuykendall also from the SC Upstate division weighing in 21.44 pounds. The Top finishing male/female team of Richard & Debbie Wilson qualified for nationals and also finished 7th overall.
The Top 13 teams qualified for the National Championship, however with a male/female team and points champions in the Top 13 that allows us to grab two more teams to qualify for the National Event on Lake Hartwell in 2019. Below are the qualfying teams:
