Robert Hargrove Comes Out On Top at Bob Sandlin

The “Living Legend” does it again, folks!  Robert bested a field of 37 anglers and brought 4 fish to the scales that weighed in at 17.68 lbs.  The impressive sack also included the day’s Big Bass of 5.90 lbs.  Robert’s fish came on a chicken rig with a Zoom Trick Worm and a spinnerbait in very shallow water.  The first place check for $375 and the Big Bass pot of $180 was also sweetened with Robert’s half of the heavy boat pot of $90 for a total payday of $645.  Way to go Robert!  

Second place at the March 28 tournament went to “Sheriff” Danny Yates with a 5-fish limit for 12.61 lbs and a check for $268.  Danny’s fish were caught on a modified Lake Fork 10″ worm in water 5′ deep. Duane Climer nailed down a 3^rd place finish using a watermelon red brush hog and a fluke of the same color for a 5-fish limit of 11 lbs even.  Duane’s 3^rd place finish garnered a check for $160.  

The only other angler to bring in a limit at Sandlin was long-time Century member, Bill Kessler.  Bill’s sack tipped the scales at 9.49 lbs which was good enough for 4^th place and $118.

New Century member Randy Short and Paul Zukosky captured 5^th and 6^th place respectively with 4 fish each.  Randy’s fish weighed in at 8.96 lbs and Paul’s fish totaled 8.20 lbs.  For their hard work they took home checks for $85 and $65 for their 5^th and 6^th place finishes.

Another new Century member, Dusty Richards, was the winner of the “first place out of the money” tackle pack.    Mike Stewart won the 2^nd half of the heavy boat pot of $180 as Robert Hargrove’s partner for the day.  Mike had 3 fish for 4.52 lbs.

There were 67 fish caught for a total of 143.25 lbs and a 2.14 lb per fish average.
