<font size="3"> The July CBA event was held July 25, 2009 at Chester Frost Park. The Chattanooga Bass Association would like to thank Whitfield Electric Motor for sponsoring this month’s event as well as supporting the CBA for many years. We had 60 teams that fished this month’s tournament. Cash and prizes were paid through 35 places and there was a drawing for two Carrot Stik Rods from Soddy Custom Tackle.
The team of Chris Coleman and Chris Grizzle had the winning bag of fish weighing 19.58# to take the win and the first place check for $2,000.00. The win qualifies them for the 2009 Sportsman’s Warehouse Classic Championship if they fish at least 7 of the open tournament months. The following teams rounded out the remainder of the places in the money:
2nd- David Powell and Matt Powell - 18.47# - $750
3rd- Jim Cofer and Mark Hixson - 17.99# - $650
4th- David Jones and Damon Taylor - 17.91# - $550
5th- Martin Smith and Bill Guy - 17.16# - $450
6th- Roy Dye and Drew Tompkins - 15.74# - $350
7th- Josh Wofford and Bruce Wofford - 15.66# - $300
8th- Andy Parkinson and Jonathan Raburn - 15.59# - $250
9th- Paul Cordell and Jim Howard - 15.44# - $200
10th- Heath Pack and Trevor Prince - 15.03# - $200
11th- Eric Welch and Mike Pierce - 14.86# - $150
Jim Cofer and Mark Hixson had the big fish of the tournament with a giant Largemouth weighing 7.02 pounds. Chris Coleman & Chris Grizzle had the big smallmouth at 3.61 pounds. Stan Nixon and John Taylor had the big spot at 3.56 pounds.
The next CBA will be the River City Tile and Granite August 08, 2009. We would like to invite all area anglers to participate with us on the 8th. We would like to also thank all of our sponsors that make our tournament format possible. Please support our sponsors whenever possible.</font>
