Some good bags! I was hoping for 2jigs to be in the top 10...

 

[micropterus]

It was a miserable day to fish ,cold &windy, but we caught enough for 13th .Who would have figured there'd be so many 20lb. bags. Congrats to D&H for the huge bag . I bet the long cold run was worth $4200.00.

We had a slow but decent day out there.If oyu know what bait to use you can rack up pretty quickly.ERick

 

[Nickajack Angler]

So, what were some of the top baits people were catching them on?

 

[jason]

Just curious...anyone know if some of the big bags came as a result of locking-thru to the Nick?

 

[fishinvol]

I thought I heard today, that the winning bag came from Nickajack.

 

[churly]

Lots of anglers always lock through this time of year. The winners locked through. But, lots of good bags were caught on Chimichanga.

 

[Bumble Bee Kid]

The winners locked thru and went to Nickajack but Locked back up and caught there 3 biggest fish on the chick.

 

[jason]
