Hunting season arrived and the qualifier #5 of PBC Cashion Fishing Rods ‘End of Year’ Trail at Falls Lake took a hit

with only 30 teams showing up and the weights took a hit too! Air temps ranged from 54 degrees in the am on up to
70 at the 3pm weighin. Water temps averaged about 74 degrees. Winds were nonexistent in the am up to about 10
mph in the afternoon. The bite was good but it was tough to get 5 good fish…most were small.

The veteran team of Todd Massey & Tim Parker won 1st Place weighing in 5 bass at 19.04 lbs., 1st Place Big Fish
(7.33 lbs.)and also won the 1st Place Tournament within a Tournament (TWT) for a total of $1,707 in winnings. The
team said most of their bass were caught off channel points & dropoffs in 3 to 10‘ of water with crankbaits & worm
rigs.

Jaime Fajardo & Josh Hooks came in 2nd place with 5 fish weighing 15.32 lbs. & also won 2nd Place TWT to pocket
a total of $705. 3rd place team Bobby Houser & Matt Dean won $350 with 5 weighing 14.85 lbs. The 2nd Place Big
Fish weighed 6.14 lbs. and was caught by David Bullock & Jimmy Henderson netting them $168 in prize money!!

Only 63 fish were weighed in for a total of 171 pounds for an average of 2.71 lbs. each. Most of the fish were caught
on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, Jig combos and Crankbaits in 3 to 10‘ of water off main point dropoffs and creek
channels.
