After a two year absence from Texas and the great bass fishing we have here in our state, David and Monica Price of Huntsville TX., have started back up where they left off, ( in the winners circle). Twice in the years past they have won Anglers of the Year in CAST Southeast, and they are right back on track to do it again. On a day when fishing was extremely tough on Richland Chambers, Monica found a small stretch of bank that was holding fish in three feet of water. While David was throwing a white HORIZON spinnerbait and catching fish, Monica was following up with a craw worm rigged Texas style. Their five fish limit was the only one of the tournament and weighed 11.71 lbs. for first place. This was their second check in as many tournaments and David was very happy that he listened to Monica this time. Their knowledge of east Texas lakes was not lost when they moved to Florida, watchout everyone they’re back!!!
Hard work and devotion can pay off in this sport and that’s the qualities that the second place team of Johnie and Crystal Fountain of Porter TX., exhibited for their finish at this tournament. Johnie caught Big Bass, a 3.86 lb. fish which gave them a total of 6.41 lbs.,enough for second and two checks to take to the bank. Third place with two bass at 6.02 lb. were Bob and Marie Hughes of Lufkin TX. Something tells me this wasn’t their first time to finish high in the standings and wont be their last. Congratulations to the winners and those who caught fish on this tough day of fishing on Richland Chambers.
