 First place Ameriprise Award went to the team of  the Michael Smith and Brian Jordan.

This team came to the scales with 5 fish weighing in at 12.27  their winning bag included the lunker of the tournament a beautiful 5.07 lbs. largemouth bass.  Brian reported running their Mercury powered boat down to the lower end of the lake to catch their winning bag.  This talented team used a big crankbait to catch their fish off points fishing around 15 feet of water.  This team is sponsored by Mercury,  Dixie Custom Baits, Tote Rite and White Pine Marine.

Second place went to the team of Ronny Jones and Bailey Fain with 5 fish weighing 11.97 lbs. Dr. Jones reported running around the mid-section of the lake to catch their fish flipping main lake banks.  Bailey Fain is the Manager at the new PB Lodge in Dayton Tennessee on World Fame Chickamauga Lake.  Given him a call at 865-707-3474 when headed down to Chickamauga Lake to catch the big ones.
