1ST PLACE: Doug Campbell
of Grant, owner of Waterfront Tackle and Sponsored by
Ranger Boats and Yamaha Motors and Johnathan Keel of
Scottsboro had a five fish limit that topped the scales
with an impressive 27.35 pounds and their bag also had
the Big Bass that weighed in at 8.86 pounds.
The team started their
morning fishing shallow humps and points with a Dumaflodger
Spinnerbait as the sun got higher, they had to slow
down and use a Ultra Strike Salty Stick with the
2 iG strike enhancer fishing it extremely slow on hard
bottom points that had gravel or clay near spawning
areas, where they found that the fish still had not
moved out yet. The team was also using the new BassMedics
2 iG Extreme Rods which are lightweight and extremely
sensitive with plenty of backbone. Doug and Johnathan
took home the Pot of Gold worth $1440.
2nd PLACE: Phillip Nunnelley owner of Pasquale's Restaurants
and Eddie Woods owner of Kraft Roofing Company, both
from Cullman came to the scales with another big limit
of fish that weighed 20.90 pounds to take home a check
of $570.
The team had a Run and
Gun pattern that paid off for them. They caught a good
limit early fishing deep using a Davis Pro Vibe Jig
and a 12" worm, but when the sun got up and the
water warming they moved shallow to better their limit
with a 1 oz. Davis Pro Vibe Spinnerbait.
Their Sponsors Anderson
Boats, Ranger and Mercury Marine should be proud of
this team. In 2003 they were Anglers of the Year for
the Choice Division for Anglers Choice, and now have
taken over the lead for the Guntersville Teams Anglers
of the Year race.
3rd PLACE: Kevin Stubblefield of Scottsboro who works
for Marshall County Engineers Office and Marty Pritchett
of Scottsboro who is a UPS Man missed 2nd Place by 40/100's
of an ounce with a limit weighing 20.50 pounds and received
a check for $355.
They also had a Run and Gun pattern stopping and looking
for shad. If the shad were present they spent time,
if no they moved on to the next hole. Fishing in 10'
of water using a crankbait they caught 10 fish all day
but their best four came first thing in the morning.
Coming up on May 29th
is the N. E. Alabama Teams on Neely Henry at the City
Docks and on June 5 and 6th is the Neely Henry Super
Teams with a 1st Place Guarantee of $5000. Come out
and support the City of Gadsden who has always shown
that they appreciate the Anglers.
