Eastern Division Youth Event

18 Youth teams went out on Blue Marsh in search of 4 bass over 15 inches during a cold steady rain that lasted all day on October 14. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, 29 bass over 15 inches were weighed-in! After it was all said and done, Maxsim & Vegas brought home the victory with 4 large-mouth weighing 12.65 pounds.
 
And a bonus – the kids also got to meet Mike Iaconelli during the tournament. Great job to everyone who participated!
