UPDATE SATURDAY APRIL 9TH

SHIP & DILLARD GET IT DONE ON RAY ROBERTS TAKING THE WIN WITH 24.15 POUNDS!

The Bass Pro Shop Grapevine Series hosted the second "open" tournament of the spring today at Lake Ray Roberts. The anglers were greeted this morning with mild weather which lasted the majority of the day, however an hour before weigh-in a cold front moved through the area bringing a few brief rain showers and some freakish wind gusts. In fact, moments before opening up the weigh-in a strong wind gust virtually came out of nowhere and destroyed the stage awning!

Prior to the weigh-in several anglers (both in the tournament and those pre-fishing) mentioned a tough bite with a lot of missed fish and/or bass short striking. Once the weigh-in started it appeared that the weights may be lower than normal but that was quickly dismissed as several anglers/teams brought healthy limits to the scale. Clay Shipe and Brandon Dillard topped the field of 35 teams sacking an impressive 24.15 pound limit anchored by a 6.57 kicker that took second BIG BASS honors. Joe Rome and Joel McBride finished second with 23.83 pounds. The third spot went to Trent Meneese and Jeff Irwin with 21.85 pounds plus the overall BIG BASS of the day weighing 7.70 pounds. David Crow and Mark Child slid into fourth place boating 20.58 pounds. Fifth place went to Andy Sallee and Ron Flowers with their 16.21 pound limit. Rounding out the top-six was Dan Beard and Kyle Judd with 15.10 pounds. The complete final results have been posted below!

I would like to thank all of the anglers for coming out and fishing today, I appreciate your support and hope to see you all at the next open event which will be in May at Lake Lewisville. I will be confirming the date and will post the details as soon as possible!
