Saw this on a local board I participate in. Results of a team tournament on Lake Hartwell this past week.
On day 1, over 30 limits were weighed with some really strong weights. Tournament favorites Andy Montgomery and Brian Thrift brought 15.93 pounds to the scales to take the day 1 lead. Nipping right on their heals were Brian Hoyle and Scott Dorris with 15.84 pounds. The weights remained tight all through the standings.
Everyone was tight lipped and would not give any hint as to what was going on, but anyone who knows either team knew the fish were eating a jig. Everyone knew going into day 2 that it could be a jig shoot out between the top two. Boy were we all wrong. As team after team came to scales and fell short, rumors were circulating of a big bag coming to the scales.
Brian and Scott brought 5 bass to the scales that weighed 26.49 pounds with a 7.53 pound big bass! This was enough to win by nearly 14 pounds! They told the large crowd at the weigh in that they had all their fish off one stump and rock in a creek by 7:30 and of course, they all came on a jig. They finished with a total of 10 fish, 42.33 pounds and earned $6,560.
That's a pretty productive 2 days fishing.
