Anglers Quest 2010 Livingston Individual Series Championship is now in the books, and the Individual Series for Lake Livingston is complete for 2010. The event began on Friday evening with the presentation of the special ” Anglers Quest Goal Post” to the new “2010 Angler of the Year”, Chris DiBerardino, Chris will receive free paid entries to all A/Q Livingston Individual Series Events in 2011. The Calcutta Auction followed and sold Individuals from $50 to $170 and raised $550.00 to add to the anglers pot. As at all Anglers Quest Championship auctions, there were 10 Limit Stix American Rodsmiths rods auctioned off to raise $ for the “Tournament of Champions” coming up at Lake Palestine in November.

The weather was clear and very nice on Sunday with low 50’s at daybreak to high 70’s during the day with a brisk northerly breeze for the event on Lake Livingston. As the event got underway with the 5 qualified teams taking off into the dim morning light from their choice of launch ramps around the lake at 6:50 am. The anglers were all going for the $2,040.00 purse that was the payback by Anglers Quest at this Championship event. The water at Lake Livingston was changing to muddy water conditions from all the recent rains and was at approximately 1/2 ft above normal pool level. At the end of the day the 5 teams brought in 1 limit of bass, 11 fish that totaled 25.45 lbs with a 2.31 avg.
