December 14, 2003 Lake of Egypt, Il
Jelley and Clark Win Illinois/Winter 3rd Event

As teams awoke most were greeted with snow and brisk temperatures as eighteen strong willed men decided to make the trip to the lake. The snow stopped just before launch but the temperature did not reach above 30 degrees during tournament hours. Most who are familiar with Lake Egypt and the winter fishing know that this type of weather can produce some of your best fishing as five of the nine teams braving the elements brought limits to the scales.

On this day it would take nearly seventeen pounds to take the win and all eyes were on the team known as the ones to beat, Danny Clark and Mark Jelley had been the victors in the first two events and showed their dominance on the lake once more as they hoisted their bag weighing 16.67lbs to the scales. Danny and Mark have accomplished something rarely seen in circuit fishing by winning their third event in a row. The team fished jigs in water depths of six to twelve feet to catch their fish. Stumps located around grass lines were the targets they keyed upon. They also had the big bass of the tournament weighing 4.32lbs and the team earned checks totaling $1,100.00 for the day. The team is sponsored by Pyramid Acres. Great Job Guys!
