Jeff Harrell and James Wilson take smithland!

The sixth event of the year was held at Smithland Pool, August 13, 2006. The day started out with a light fog not enough to delay the take off time at 6:00 AM. Calm winds with 74, degree temperature and high humidity made fishing barely tolerable even this early in the morning. This did not keep the fish from biting. Most anglers reported catching fish all day long, but could not get the quality bite needed to put them in the comfort zone. 14 boats ended the day with a 5 fish limit.

The first place team of Jeff Harrell and James Wilson caught their big fish early in a creek using top water baits. They caught their next 4 fish using jigs in the main river to make their limit to take the win. The team had a total weight of 11.09 lbs. First place and entering the option pot earned them a check for $1155.00. Great job guys!!

In second place is the team of Jack Doan and Ben Doan. They had a total weight of 9.97 lbs. They caught all their fish on tubes and jigs on the main river and creeks. The team reported catching 3 limits of fish throughout the day witch helped them improve their catch. The second place win and entering the option earned them checks totaling 663.00.

Third place goes to the team of Nathan Murphy and Dustin Kielhorn. Their total weight of 9.85 lbs and option pot earning checks totaling $362.00. The team caught most of their fish flipping plastics around stumps in the creeks.

The team of Shannon Toigo and David (BOO) Guil had big bass of the day. The big bass weighed in at 5.42 lbs. The fish was caught on a main river point 10 miles from take off using a jig. The run earned the team checks totaling 190.00. NICE FISH!!
