High Water & Rain Not Enough to Prevent GetDaNet Fishing Club’s March Tournament

Unprecedentedly high lake levels and rain were not enough to deter GetDaNet’s anglers from going after some Toledo Bend lunkers on Saturday, March 12, 2016. The muddy waters were not as bad an omen as would have been thought as several teams brought excellent stringers to the weigh-in at Fin & Feather Resort. In fact, new club records were established in both the Big Stringer and Big Bass categories.

The Team of Chris Baggett and Mike Moore returned to the top of the podium with a new club record stringer weight of 22.98 lbs. They managed to find some first-rate fish just moments before weigh-in. Those 11th-hour fish were needed to narrowly eclipse the 21.94-lb. bag brought in by David Fregia and Mike Murphy. The team of Chris Romano and Jordan Thibodeaux also brought in a superb 17.96-lb. sack.

Romano contributed the Big Bass of the day, a new GetDaNet club record, with an outstanding 8.76-lb. fish. Mike Murphy also broke what was the previous club record with an 8.11-lb. catch to claim 2nd in Big Bass. Not to be overlooked, Mike Moore’s 3rd-place 7.47-lb. kicker helped his team’s stringer win.
