We had our 2nd Qualifer of the ALTEC Trail last Saturday at Gaston Lake.It was a little windy but for what we’re used to weather wise here at the 5 Alive it was a fabulous weather day. We want to Thank everyone that made the travel to Gaston Lake to fish with us. We know that it’s a bit of a travel for alot of the teams that fish with us. We had 52 teams show up Saturday for their chance of taking home the WIN.
As the weigh in started winding down it was the team of Shane Doughtie & Evan White that strolled up to the scales and dropped a 5 fish limit weighing 21.52 pounds on the rest of the feild. That bag earned them a total of $2450.00 with TWT. This was no surprise to anyone there that knows these guys. When it comes to Gaston Lake they are the team to beat week in and week out. Don’t think that’s the only Lake they’re good at either!!! Them boys are just GOOD!
They were followed by the team of Wright & Mccleeny. They came to the scales and put a scare in the eyes of Doughtie and White when they dropped a 5 fish limit weighing 20.80 pounds. That bag earned them a total of $1100.00 with TWT. Great job guys!!
BIG FISH was won by the team of Bailey & Bailey. They had a 6.07 pound fish that earned them $520.00
There was some pretty fish weighed in on Saturday and I got to see the biggest Spotted bass I’ve ever seen. The 3rd place finishing team of Herndon & Brogden brought in a spot that weighed over 5 pounds. That thing looked like a football with fins on it.
We want to give a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who placed in the money
We also want to say THANK YOU to all of our sponsors who make this possible and especially ALTEC for coming on board this year as the Title Sponsor.
Mrs. Laura with ALTEC was set up with us Saturday and plans to be at the rest of the ALTEC Trail tournaments. She got the chance to meet alot of yall Saturday. She is there to get to know everyone and also recruit people to come and Work for ALTEC. If you or know anyone looking for a job please go and check ALTEC out. It’s a great company to work for.
