Well the Fourth tournament of the central coast region started first thing in the morning when we started sign ups.The word amongst the anglers was that the fish had moved up and there was a good chance of some heavy bags to appear at the scales. When sign ups were all said and done we had 31 boats ready to hit the lake and set the hook. By the time we got all of our equipment packed and arrived at the lake,the majority of the field was already in the water chomping at the bit to blast off. When the last boat hit the water we got underway and the field was off,now it was a waiting game until the weigh in. At he end of the day when it was time to start setting up, I started to arrange awards and al my equipment waiting for the first flight to arrive. While I was doingthis some people came up to me and said they had heard that there was a big fish that was caught by one of my anglers,this is when me as a director gets really excited. I might not have been the one to catch it but anticipation to weigh a possible monster fish is just as fulfilling as catching it.We got the weigh in started and sure enough we had some nice bags of fish definately a good day for a lot of teams.When the smoke cleared and the slips were tallied up the team of Jeremy Gearhart and Jason Martin took top honors with a weight of 28.25 and a monster 12.28 big fish,2nd place went to Jay Rich and Terry Rawles with 24.88,3rd place was Robert Merino with 20.24 and the second big fish of 10.78,4th place went to Dan Barrios and Charles Barrios with 19.86,5th place went to Ray Huff and Tim Caudle with 18.45,6th place went to Damon Meeks and Jay Short with 17.47.During the awards we did our prize drawings and the winners were Mike Foreman and Kenny McMurray took home the eye surrender 20/20 prize of two pairs of eye surrender sunglasses,next we had the Irwin Lennox tool drawing in which the target weight was 15.40 and closest to this and taking the prize was Matt Clausen and Troy Tidwell with 14.80finally we gave out one of our sponsors prize package the Batrums gift certificate and the lucky winner was Lee Johnson.
