CCBM & Local Open Tournaments Info / CCBM November 11th Cash Open R...
Last post by Basscat7 - November 13, 2023, 09:37:45 PMThanks to all 33 boats who came out in the cold weather to fish the last Chester County Open for the year November 11th.
28 degrees at launch with Fog played havoc on the early bite but a few teams were able to bring in some 20+ lb bags.
Taking First place Cash, along with the 1st Place Option Pot Cash was Mike Piccolo and Dave Piscopo who brought in an outstanding bag that pushed the scales to 25.28 Pounds.
The Duo also had Tournament Cash Lunker with a beautiful 6.25 Upper Bay giant !
Congrats guys on a nice Hat Trick payday !
Second Place with another nice limit was JT Lang and Nate Brown who dropped 20.46 on the scales to take runner-up cash, and the 2nd Place Option Pot money. The team's big fish was a 5.78 fatty.
Third Place cash was won by Herb Geissler and Mike Adams who brought 20.22 to the scales with a 5.09 big girl as their big fish.
Richard Leadbeater and Conor Cahill took home the 2nd Lunker award, a $ 60 box from Epic Eric's Bass Lab, a selection from Eric Gallassos of top of the line Tidal Water Lures.
Their big fish weighed in at 5.97 Lbs !
https://basslab.bigcartel.com/
7 bags over 18 Lbs.
10 bass over 5 Lbs.
Thanks to all the teams who fished with us this season ! We appreciate all of You !
