John Black and Roger McNeely picked up the win again with a total of 8.9. They also had big bass of the day with a 3.0 largemouth. James Osborne and Ray Hembree took second with 8.3 and Ronnie Humphries was third with 4.3. This week the codgers head to Lake Wylie and hope to have better catches to report.
