After the COVID-19 crisis forced the cancellation of the season opener in April, 81 teams turned out at Orleans Trail Marina to treat a serious case of cabin fever.  Conditions had been fairly stable in the days leading up to the event, but a squall with high winds, rain, and hail churned things up during the mid-morning hours.  Nonetheless, a staggering 332 bass were brought to the scales where a limited number of weigh-in bags, extra tank spacing, and other considerations provided the proper social distancing.

Topping the heavily credentialed field was the team of Kelly Jones and Roger Satterfield.  They made the trip north to Stockton to catch five fish that pushed the scales to a winning weight of 17.52 pounds.  Roger noted their Sport Boats USA Key to Success was flipping jigs to shallow bushes in the upper river.  Kelly and Roger padded their winnings as they boated 10-12 keepers from Kelly’s FX21 Skeeter, netting them the Sport Boats USA Highest Finishing Skeeter bonus.

The runner-up position was taken by Justin Delk and Brandon Rummel.  Their best five bass rang in it 16.76 pounds.  Included in their bag was the Ozark Chevrolet Big Bass weighing 5.34 pounds.  Brandon shared they also flipped jigs in shallow bushes.

Rounding out the top three was the team of Eric Craft and Dominic Cavitt.  Mixing in soft plastics with jigs pitched to shallow bushes, Eric and Dominic netted a five fish limit good for 16.58 pounds.

The next event in the 2020 Stockton Division will be June 7^th at Orleans Trail with a 6:00am takeoff.
