1st Place : Jeff Bias and Chuck Holmes

2nd Place: Ken & Rusty Hathcock
  

     

"COMEBACK" -  Definition:  Chuck Holmes and Jeff Bias on day 2 of the Hog Hunters Classic.  See below for details... 

     DAY 1 Tenkiller:    

     The infamous Lake Tenkiller strikes again.  This day was tough by all standards, but it really shouldn't have been.  The early morning rain and light breeze made for prefect topwater conditions.  However, it was a just matter of being in the right place at the right time says this young angler.  My congratulations go out to Ken and Rusty Hathcock for catching a sack of fish which tipped the scales at 12.95 lbs.  This was the heaviest string during day one of our two day Classic Tournament.           

     TENKILLER CONDITIONS:  The water color on Saturday was clear / stained depending on where you were.  Surface temps ranged between 70 - 75°F. The wind was out of the South at 15-20mph. 

     DAY 2 Ft. Gibson:   

      Day two brought about a huge string!  Notably, for the first time in many years a twenty pound stringer was brought to the scales at Ft. Gibson.  Chuck Holmes and Jeff Bias weighed in 20.27lbs Sunday and thereby smoked the competition.  In addition, Chuck and Jeff took the Big Bass title with their 6.42lb largemouth.  Great Job Guys!!!       

     FT. GIBSON CONDITIONS:  The water color on Sunday was stained / cloudy again depending on what part of the lake you were fishing.  Surface temps ranged 74 - 78°F.  Wind was out of the South at 10-15mph with gusts of 25mph.      

       In the end, day two's weights were enough propel Chuck and Jeff into first place overall.  Their combined weight came to 27.07 lbs.  Ken and Rusty Hathcock claimed second place by consistently catching a good limit of fish both days.  Their weight came to 24.32lbs.  Finally, third place went Eric Rosser and Joel Clark with a weight of 23.07 lbs.
