The 4th Military Support Group Bass Tournament was held out of Rodman Reservoir Saturday ... a day that saw periods of exceptionally nasty weather.
Several of the ...more 36 teams locked out of the tannin-darkened pool and some stayed put, but every one spent parts of their day casting amid thunder, lightning, and cold, sideways rain. Despite the poor weather, overall catches were pretty impressive. Seventeen teams filled five-bass limits, and 16 catches weighed in double digits.
Jerry and Jason Gutierrez had the both the best limit and the top single bass. Their 15.28-pound limit was anchored by an 8.25-pound beauty. Close behind were Steven Thames and Thomas Rutkowski with 15.11 pounds; and Bobby Johnson and Judith Foxx-Johnson claimed third with a 14.64-pound limit that included a 6.07 Rodman chunk.
