On Saturday April 11th, BAF held it's April tournament out of Echo Bay marina, and the fish were eating. It is very rare to see multiple double digit weights on Mead, but this tournament would be a different story. Not only were there multiple big weights, but 80% of the teams in the tournament had over 10 lbs!!! In first place was Brent Becker with non-boater Fernando who weighed in an outstanding 15lbs 14oz, which was anchored by a 4lb big fish. Brent stated that "I fished the Temple area...worked all the cuts throwing drop shots and jigs. Nothing new to this time of year. The smallies were bedding on the points and the largemouth were in the back. Once I got to the back, I threw a Senko and that seemed to be the ticket. Fernie did a good job of dragging the channels with a drop shot and he caught some nice fish!! All solid 2.5 pounders and the one 3 pound smallie. He dumped two big fish too." Congratulations to Brent and Fernando on the win. The following are the final results, along with a couple pictures of some of the fish caught. 1st - Brent and Fernando = 15lb 14oz - big fish = 4lb 0oz
2nd - Deejay and Curtiss = 13lb 1oz - big fish = 3lb 6oz
3rd - Paul and Gary = 12lb 6oz - big fish = 3lb 2oz
4th - Matt and Quinn = 11lb 5oz - big fish = 2lb 12oz
5th - Aaron and Damion = 10lb 14oz - big fish = 2lb 14oz
6th - Don and Tony = 7lb 14oz  Brent (Right) and Fernando with their April catch
