Keith Wray & Tyler Purcell Win 5 Alive Championship on Kerr Lake with 32.23lbs

Date:

The 2 Day ALTEC Guaranteed $7000.00 Championship is in the books!!!
We had an awesome weekend at Kerr Lake last week hosting the $7000.00 Championship.Weather was great and the competition was even better. We had Great comradery, tight weights and even had a pretty good meal to boot.
After the Prayer and the National Anthem we blasted off 67 teams to see who could go home with the goods! Typical of Fall fishing on Kerr Lake fishing was kinda tough. But as always somebody’s going to catch em!!

After day 1 of the weigh in was concluded it was two teams that stood out front from the rest of the crowd. The team of Doughtie & White was the 1st to come to the scales with a big bag weighing 17.08 pounds. Not going to lie I didn’t think that would be topped but wrong I was!

🤷‍♂️

A few minutes later the team of Wray & Purcell decided they wanted the lead going into day 2 and brought in an impressive bag weighing 19.29 pounds!!

👀

I definitely wasn’t expecting to see a bag like that at the scales.

Day 2 we had 53 teams come back for more. Some with high ecspectations and some not so much but they stuck it out.
During the weigh in it seemed the weights were more solid across the board for day 2.
Going into Day 2 with the lead the team of Keith Wray  & Tyler Purcell came to the scales with another solid bag weighing 12.94 pounds. That gave them a 2 day total of 32.23 pounds which topped the field by 2 pounds to give them their 2nd – 5 Alive Team Trail 2 day Championship. The Team made the run to Nutbush & fished creeks with a crankbait to catch most of their fish.

They were followed by the 3rd place team after day 1 Tony Fox & Patrick Wooten. They came to the scales with the biggest bag of day 2 weighing 16.67 pounds giving them a 2 day total of 30.04 pounds. That earned them a total of $4250.00 for 2nd place. Great job guys!! Also very well deserved!
Big fish for the tournament was also Won by the Winners of the tournament Wray & Purcell.  They had a 5.55 pound bass earning them another $670.00.
As always we want to CONGRATULATE all the teams that finished in the money.
