The 2^nd Big Bass Blast at Bienville Plantation concluded with a fish fry that made everybody a winner, but on the water Wally Grant and Gary Simpson, of Gainesville, FL took top honors with a 3-fish limit that weighed 15.56 pounds and included the day’s big bass at 6.48.

“It went really well,” said Josie Gaskins who runs the office and has generally assumed the role of First Lady at Bienville. “We had a total of 26 boats. It was a HOT one, but still had some nice fish weighed in.”

Here’s your Top 5:

1st Place – Wally Grant & Gary Simpson Total Weight 15.56lbs Big Fish Winner 6.48lbs

2nd Place – Trevor Corbitt & Jimmy Johnson Total Weight 14.28lbs 2nd Big Fish Winner 6.30lbs

3rd Place – Caleb Johns & Lil Bob McMillan Total Weight 14.26

4th Place – Bob Tarlton & Buddy Witt Total Weight 14.12lbs

5th Place – Stephen Gray & Ronnie Crown Total Weight 12.90lbs

It’s hard to beat the pay scale in the Big Bass Blast events, which take place the last Saturday of every month. When a 26-boat tournament pays $2585.70 to the winners and $702 for big bass, there’s some money to be won.

Heck, even the 2^nd big bass paid $468 and the top 5 teams cut checks.

And it all leads up to the Bienville Classic with a guaranteed minimum purse of $25,000 in December.
