Mike Wolfe got second with a total weight of 13.07 lbs and a big fish of 5.88 lbs. Fishing this summer, beginning June 11, has been exceptionally good. The average winning weight over this period was 14.75 lbs. The Mountain Men, Paul Renda and Alex Smeraglia dominated early this summer with four wins in a row and the largest sack of the season of 22.65 lbs. Johnny Hill and Zac Hall also had a win in this period and the biggest bass of the season of 7 lbs.
