PIEDMONT BASS CLASSICS $10,000 SPRING TEAM BASS TRAIL

QUALIFIER #6 RESULTS
Saturday May 14th, 2016 ~ Kerr Lake ~ New Nutbush State Park Ramp

The 2016 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Qualifier #6 at Kerr

Lake produced another great turnout for the PBC Trails even though the water level was 306+!!

The weather started out great with air temps about 57 degrees in the am on up to 82 in the pm.

Water temps averaged 73. Winds were quiet in the am and blowing up to about 10 in the pm.

A great total of 74 teams participated with most all of them weighing in fish. The bite at Kerr

was tough with weather patterns coming thru the area, some cold fresh water rains, rising water

levels and cold fronts. It’s just up & down. We did have quite a few 13+ bags and some nice

4 to 5 pounders seen.

Stump Bledsoe & Glenn Elliott finished 1st Place weighing in 5 bass at 18.96 lbs. and along

with winning the 1st Place TWT, 2nd place big fish (4.61) and with a check coming from Skeeter

Boats Real Money Program , their winnings will top out at $4,218!!!

1st Place Team…Bledsoe on left…Elliott on right

Ricky Petty & Billy Cobb took 2nd place with 5 fish weighing 16.28 lbs. and they also won

2nd Place TWT for a total of $1,430. The 1st Place Big Fish (5.10 lbs.) was caught by the

team of Will Bennett & Kyle Ash netting them total winnings of $1,022. 3rd Place went to

the team of Jason Kopp & Dan Jenkins! They netted 5 for 15.12 lbs. and took home $575.
269 fish were weighed in for a total of 612 pounds for an average of 2.28 lbs. each. Most of

the fish were caught on WLS whacky worms, spinnerbaits and creature baits in 1 to 6 feet

of water. The bass are still bedding in the shallower water.  The water level at Kerr should

be back to normal soon.

I want to thank all the anglers that participated and all our sponsors that support this trail.
