The weigh in was held in Huntington City Park where there was lots of shade and grass.
The anglers lined up next to the park and carried their fish a few steps to weigh-in.
SRB President Rick Cox was MC for the weigh-in and interviewed anglers on thier success as they waited for their fish to be weighed.
Edmark Chevrolet loaned SRB a Hummer to tow the release tank for the fish. The Hummer attracted a certain amount of attention in the park...
The winning weight was turned in by a couple of old pros on Brownlee: Ken Patterson and Frank Johnson. They had a limit of 12 fish that weighed in at 24.84 lbs. for a solid 2 lbs. + average per fish.
Second place went to another pair of Brownlee Pros, Mike Allen and Larry Spath. Their weight was 24.70 lbs., a mere 0.14 lbs. behind the winners.
SRB members Troy Meckert and Dan Jensen had a good tournament with a limit of 12 fish for 23.28 lbs. This got them into 3rd place.
Mike Lovelady and Brad Holcom placed 4th with a limit of 12 fish for 22.57 lbs.

Vickie Patterson won the George Roth Custom Rod that we raffled off. She is shown with her husband Ken Patterson who was on the winning team for the tournament. The Patterson family had a pretty good weekend... Also in the picture are custom rod maker George Roth on the right and Tournament Director James Raitter on the left.
There were lots of raffles prizes given away after Saturday's weigh-in as well as a hamburger / hot dog BBQ provided by the Huntington Chamber of Commerce.
Chris Kummermehr loaned us Superior Bass' Weigh trailer for the tournament; it made for a very professional weigh-in. Thanks Chris! Here's Chris and Shane Carlson with a raffle prize that they won.
