Stoner's 5th Annual Bass Tournament
May 22nd, 1999 --- Lake Fork, TX
Billy Pettigrew - 1999 Champion
Well, we had great weather for the second year in a row! But the fishing
was really awful. The lake had too much water in it so they were letting
water out at the dam and that always turns off the bass. Billy just needed
two under-slot fish to win first place. At least we had great weather and
great burgers after the tourney!
Deep Thoughts
I bet that Neil, Dan and David are discussing the upcoming motorcycle/mountain
trip over their beer and burgers.
Linda, Robert & Myself
For the second year in a row, my friend Linda came to the weigh-in/cookout
with her kids. Her husband, Matt, has fished the tourney twice now...maybe
the third time will be the charm.
The Two Cottens
Jeff Cotten Jr. and Sr. fished the tourney together this year. Sr admitted
to releasing two bass that were around 15 inches because he thought the slot
was still 14 to 21 inches instead of 16 to 22. Those fish were legal and
would have won him the tourney! Hmmm...is Sr red from being sun burned or just
embarrassed?!
