BILLY MOORE WINS AT LAKE GREENBELT, JULY 11, 2002
First place was worth $660 to Amarillo's Billy Moore who used a small YELLOW grub to catch 3 bass that weighed 8.55 lbs. As the trout anglers have known for years, Maybe bassers should pay more attention to the insects as they hatch. Of course, bassers also need to stay attuned to baitfish, this is the FIRST time in 14 years of Fun Tournaments that a top fininhing angler has used an insect hatch to win one of our tournaments. Good job Billy.

Second Place went to Amarillo's BRENDAN BROWN with three bass that weighed 8.43 lbs. Brendan earned $264 and used a Zara Pup in the baby bass pattern.

JEFF ALEXANDER OF Fritch nailed down third place by using a green pepper Senko to catch 3 bass that weighed 7.19 lbs and took home $134.

Fourth Place and $66 went to BOBBY BROWN, who used an OUGGIE Buzzbait to catch 3 bass at 6.20 lbs. 40 of the 66 anglers caught and weighed keeper bass, but most caught just a single keeper despite the low water conditions.. Wonder what insects will be hatching then??? Fishing is an endless learning process, and WHY so many of us love the challenge.

 

Remember -- Catch and RELEASE is the key to good fishing next year.
