Will this Winter ever end?  Once again, we fished a tournament when a lake couldn't fish much tougher.  This is the 3rd tournament in a row when we had more zeroes than heroes.  The hero this month was Freddie O'Quinn who boated an impressive 14.23 limit on a really tough day.  Freddie says that he caught his limit on a crank bait down the lake.  He says that he found a bunch of shad on a stretch of clay bank, and the bass were there too.  After not fishing for a bunch of months, Freddie served notice that he is back to business as usual-- taking our money.  Darrell Munn managed 2nd place with 3 bass weighing 7.24 lbs.  As usual, Darrell caught his by slowly working a shakey head.  Gene Gibbs bounced back from two bad tournaments and placed 3rd with 2 bass going 5.91.  Joe Akshar managed 1 good bass that went 3.76, and Steven Evans won big bass awards with one weighing 4.43 lbs.  Steven's bass came on a mop jig.  Way to go guys!
