On a hot windless day on Lake Gaston, most of the field found it difficult to come up with a five bass limit of fish.  TJ Svec, however seized the opportunity to take his third division victory of the season by bringing in five bass that weighed in at 14.11 pounds.  He anchored his catch with the big fish of the event at 5.06 pounds.  He has been rolling through the season with three Division 13 victories and one division 17 win, all on different bodies of water.

Weights dropped off drastically with Tommy Marrow taking 2nd place with 12.82 pounds and Michael Sims coming in third with 7.60 pounds.

Rounding out the top 5 were Randy Ruffin at 7.40 pounds and Ken Mason with 6.68 pounds.

The Virginia division will next meet on Kerr Lake going out of Rudds Creek on 5 Aug.
