After finally getting to get on the water, we were met with less than ideal conditions for the first tournament of the year.  Battling with the high winds, sleet and rain, and just a down right nasty day made it a bit more challenging to get the fish to eat.  Mike and Chris Bruner figured the puzzle out bringing one of the only two limits of fish to the scales and weighing enough to take First Place.  Behind them were Bob Hardin and Sawyer Floyd weighing the only other limit of fish for the day.  Third went to Nicky Gates and Jesse Cordell, fourth was Mitch and Clint Bruner, and fifth place was Brad Keifner and Billy Keedy.  Travis Hopkins and Shane Lindsey brought the one that everyone was looking for, a 5 and a half pound Dardanelle stud! A huge thanks to Reliant Therapy, and all the guys that came to fish for the first tournament of the year!  This year looks to be really setting up good, and I appreciate everyone who helped with the weigh in Saturday.  I will be asking about shirts at the Greers tournament be ready for that, also we will draw for the cooler at the Norfork tournament on May 2nd.
