This week anglers checked in 171 bass, 139 from the tournament. One angler caught 18 bass on the shoreline by the dam. The bluegill this year are huge! Hundreds caught this week. The crappie bite is amazing, 60 confirmed catches. Most crappie enthusiasts are tight lipped so that number is a fraction of what was really caught. 11 Catfish were checked in this week as well. Pretty great numbers considering the weather conditions.
