The 2012 AOY Team of Chris DiBerardino from Huffman & Albert White from Houston ran Chris’s Triton/Mercury bass rig to numerous parts of the north lake creeks to catch their bass throwing spinner baits & TX rigged brushhogs in 1-3 ft of water using their American Rodsmiths Rods & Shimano reels. They managed to cull several times to finish with 14.36 lbs. This win made them $1400.00 for their day on the water.
The team of Dean Coleman & Jimmy Emmons Jr from Humble, TX ran Dean’s Ranger/Yamaha bass rig to various spots all over the lake. Dean fished this event alone today and finished in 2nd with his best 5 bass caught with worms & small cranks in 1-5 ft water. Dean’s bass tipped the scales at 12.70 lbs. He had a limit in the boat by 11 am and then culled several more times throughout the day. His day on the lake paid back $820.00 for his efforts.
