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.

Thanks to Lake Talquin Lodge for putting on a great tournament and putting up with us the past few days. Looking forward to the next one!!:ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp
