Sunday we closed out the 2022 – 5 Alive Team Trail/ Caswell Glass Heritage Trail season.
It was great to see everyone again as it’s been awhile since our regular season final tournament. 60 teams showed up and seemed ready for their chance at the $5000.00. They weren’t the only thing ready! The lake was fully prepared to defend its self and it did a good job doing it. Like they say at every tournament somebody’s going to catch em. After day one it was the team of Overby & Milam atop of the leaderboard with a 14.59 pound bag. They were followed by the team of Gray & Garber with a 14.11 pound bag. The top 20 teams after day one were separated by just 5 pounds. It was still anybodys game. As tough as fishing was on day one it got even tougher for day two. When it was all said and done the team of Brandon Gray and Dannon Garber stood at the top. They brought in a 12.46 pound bag on day two giving them a two day total of 26.57 pounds. They won day one 2nd place TWT, day two 1st place TWT, 1st place two day overall TWT, the Guaranteed $5000.00 and Triton contingency money totaling out at $13.320.00 . Plus plaques , hats and 2 gallons of Jeff Brann BBQ sauce. Them boys racked up and WELL DESERVED all of it for their WIN! BIG CONGRATULATIONS
