Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament 5/18

Although there was a threat of thunderstorms 44 teams ignored the forecast for the opportunity to bring the heaviest five fish limit to the 10:00 P.M. Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament weigh-in. Luckily the rains did not hit the lake area or at least PB#2 until the weigh-in was completed and the anglers were heading home.

Lake of the Ozarks has been on a slow steady rise and the bite has been good, but the big bass are still far and few between.  In the mid lake area, the bass are being caught on plastics, jigs and spinner baits from 7 to 12 feet.  The majority of anglers reported catching a limit of keepers in the 2 to 2 1/2 pound range, but no kicker to put them in the hunt.

Nine bass over 4 pounds were brought to the scales, two were over 5 pounds and one unit tipped the scales at 6.63 pounds and was caught by the team of Jess Grizzell and Jerry Guffey.

Free entry for next weeks Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament was drawn by the team of Marty "Ski" and Jamey Bryant.

For a bonus, Nicky Winn of Tom's Slaughter and Meat Processing, located on A Road, donated two seperate 10 pound containers of beef sausage sticks to the 7th place team.

1st.   Marcus Sykora & Chuck Knight     5 Bass   17.34 lbs.
2nd.  John Pimentel & Steven Reeves      5 Bass   17.26 lbs.
3rd.   T.J. Farris & Mike Delmotte           5 Bass   15.55 lbs.
