Also pictured is Jason Moyer holding two of his fish including the tournament big fish.

First place, Jason Moyer was fishing the creeks in lower part of the lake. His fish came on crank baits, chatter baits and jerk baits giving him 5 fish weighing 20.29 pounds. That included two fish over 6 pounds with one being the 6.51 pound big fish of the tournament. Those fish were caught on a chatter bait and a crank bait. The first place finish, big fish pot and option pot earned him a payback of $ 850.

Curtis Temples finished second with 5 fish weighing 17.45 pounds. Curtis was fishing crank baits in creeks on the middle part of the lake. He was able to get on some schooling fish early to fill a limit. Curtis earned $450 with second place and the option pot.

24 anglers fished this Lake Greenwood qualifying tournament. It was another wet day and fishing was tough as 10 anglers did not bring fish to the scales. Only three 5 fish limits were brought to the scales and seven out of the twenty one anglers did not bring fish to the scales. It started out at 38 degrees and ended with the 3pm weigh-in at 56 degrees. It was raining when we started out with a 5 to 10 mph wind out of the SSW. The rain was never more than sprinkle and we got some breaks during the day but it continued again during the weigh-in. Water temperature was 44 to 47 degrees. The main lake was stained but reported clear on the very upper end.
