The day started out cool, but calm.  Air temperature was upper 40’s.  By the time 3:00 weighin came along, the temperatures only rose to the low 50’s, a light rain was coming down and the winds were gusting to 40 miles per hour.

Despite the weather conditions, the 49 teams brought in more fish than anticipated.  One hundred fifty eight bass were brought to the scales, weighing a total of 380.66 pounds.  Seventeen teams brought in a tournament limit of 5 bass.  Pat Schlapper, representing the team of Pat Schlapper and Rob Yule, brought in 5 bass weighing 15.84 pounds.  This first place showing was good for $1000 in WTC payback, plus Pat owns a Skeeter Boat, so he received another $1000 cash though the Skeeter Real Money Program.  Not bad for 8 hours of fishing.  Big Bass honors went to the 3^rd place team of Mike Oliver and Tim Fitzmaurice with a 4.77 pound largemouth.  This bass was worth $480, plus 3^rd place WTC monies of $500, plus Mike drives a Markquart Chevrolet tow vehicle, 2003 Silverado, which qualified him for the Markquart Chevrolet Contingency money of $150 in cash.  Total winnings for this team was $1130 in cash.  Rounding out the top 3 was the 2^nd place team of Steve Gronski and Scott Bachowski with a 15.59 pound bag worth $700 in WTC money.  The 45^th place team of Mike Calkins and Scott Calkins brought one bass to the scales.  Scott’s tow vehicle is a Markquart Chevrolet, 2006 Colorado, so he received $100 cash through the Markquart Chevrolet Contingency Program for his efforts.
