Lynda Gessner took command of the Lady Bass Classic on Day 1 when she caught a limit that weighed nearly 20 pounds from Lake Palestine in Texas. She held the lead throughout the 3-day event, but today she had only 3 fish that weighed 3.53 pounds.

With a total weight of 35.38 pounds, she held off Melinda Hays with a margin of just over 3 pounds.

Hays had, by far, the best bag of the day at 11.02. Her total was 32.35.

Cheryl Bowden capped a good year with a 3^rd place showing. She totaled 29.14 pounds of bass.

Martha Goodfellow was 4^th with 28.31.

Pam Ridgle finished 5^th with 24.80 pounds.

Cindy Adler held on to her lead and won the co-angler division with a total of 23.13 pounds.

Co-anglers have a 3-fish limit, so with an aggregate of only 9 fish, Adler produced a solid per-fish average weight that was on-par with that of her pro division counterparts.

Alisa Johnson was runner-up with 19.85 pounds.

Christian Baxter was 3^rd with 18.01.

Noella McLauren was 4^th with 17.20.

DeAnna Lovvorn rounds out the Top 5 co-anglers with 16.02 pounds.
