From a reported wide open bite just a couple of weeks ago, Nor-Cal anglers arrived to a drastically tougher bite for their 4th event of the season. The lake had risen several feet leading up to the event and the colder incoming water had the surface temperature fluctuating like a yoyo daily. This left any bass thinking about spawning in limbo. The bite remained tough for big fish on tournament day, but it did improve slightly for numbers and the top finishing anglers took advantage of the opportunity.

First place went to Valley Springs pro Jason Remmers and his partner James Ford of Modesto. The pair brought in a five fish limit that tipped the scales at 13.42-pounds. The anglers weight was anchored Remmers 3.48-pound lunker that took big fish in the pro division. Remmers took home $866 while Ford earned $511.

Oakdale pro Rudy Linn and partner Dick Marchini of Le Grand finished in 2nd place. Linn and Marchini weighed in a five-fish limit that tipped the scales at 11.38-pounds. Linn earned $310 while Marchini took home $339.

Merced pro Jim Moulton and partner Jeff Slater of Denair finished in 3rd place with their five-fish limit that tipped the scales at 11.22-pounds. Moulton took home $204 in option money.

Big fish in the am division and for the event went to Atwater angler Terry Kleingartner. Kleingartner's 4.26-pound toad netted the angler $110.
