Scott and Matt Henley take first place at Tillery and take home over $4,600 in winnings, to kick off the FOM NC Piedmont 2022 season.
We began the morning with Curtis Cox bringing God’s awesome word.
The following remarks from Curtis:
Blessed once again to be able to bring the Word of God to 69 teams Saturday at the NC Fishers of Men tournament!
We walked thru John 1:1-5, 17.
We need to remain focused on who Jesus is my brothers/sisters!
Remembering that the darkness cannot overtake the light. That light is in you, go tell the world!
Thank You Lord for your “grace and truth that came through Jesus Christ.”
The weather for the tournament was overcast with a few sprinkles of rain for the first few hours, then the wind blew in the afternoon. Several smaller fish were biting but the big girls were not showing up. There was only a hand full of fish over five lbs. and only half the teams had a limit.
The Team of Scott and Matt Henley were able to land the winning catch of 17.04 lbs. They reported catching their fish on crankbaits and rattle traps two to four feet deep. They took home winnings of $4,637
One of our Legend anglers Gary Abbott with partner Greg Gooch took 2nd place with 15.66 lbs. and winnings of $1,582.
