His bag was anchored by the Big Bass of the Junior Division which was a 4.24lb Orange Lake Hawg! Rounding out the top 3 was Beau Inman with his 7.94lb 5 fish limit! Taking home the win in the High School Division was Ethan Tuttle and Timmy Cole with their big bag of 15.77lbs!!! 2nd went to Cooper Hughes and Isaac Dorland with 13.48lbs.

Huge thanks to the Captains for taking out our youth anglers and a really BIG THANK YOU to Ethan's grandparents for cooking up an awesome shore lunch for us all!
