Anyone else going??
What a fantastic tournament we had in memory of Rusty. We had some fantastic weather and even more fantastic people competing in the tournament. The weather was just a little chilly in the morning with some warmer temps and mild winds in the afternoon. There was a field of 18 boats with some top notch anglers competing this year. Thanks to all that participated and showed up for the weigh in. Also thanks to those that donated money and prizes for us to give away. This is how the top 5 places that won money rounded out:
1st Place - Danny Cannon and Gerald Manning 13 lbs 2 oz
2nd Place - Jared and Jason Leverette (LTL) 12 lbs 2 oz
CDC Members
3rd Place -Tim Fowler and Tim Johns 12 lbs 8 oz
Team TnT - CDC Members
4th Place - Curtis Hobbs and Dave Mitchell 12 lbs 2 oz
Hooker and Heavylead - CDC Members
5th Place - Jerry and Tillis 11 lbs 13 oz
The Big Fish was caught by Danny Cannon and Gerald Manning weighing 1 lb 14 oz.
The fish from the top 5 teams averaged about 1 lb 13 oz per fish. Surprisingly, there was not the first 2 lb fish weighed in this year. Thanks again to everyone that came out and we are looking forward to the next Rusty Leverette Memorial Tournament.

The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
Here is a pic of the winning teams:
