Smith and Evans Take First in Lake County High School Open

Lake County High School Fishing Club held their first open tournament on June 5 on Clearlake, California. We had a great turn out with teams from Vista Del Lago, Bulldogs Bass Anglers, Waterford High and Roosevelt High Bass Club making the trip up to Clearlake. All teams managed to pull in fish despite the very hot day with the weather reaching 100 degrees.

Tate Smith and Hadyn Evans took first place with a total weight of 17.44 lbs. (Lake County Team)

Cooper Goff and Sheldon Reese came in second weighing in at 16.09 lbs. (Lake County Team)

Finally, Nathan Phillips and Jason Gentle rounded out the top three weighing in 15.32 lbs. (Lake County Team) Nathan Phillips also had tournament big bass with a fish weighing in at 6lbs.

I would like to thank everyone that stepped up to help make this event possible like the boat captains that gave up their own tournaments to be boaters for these up and coming anglers. Also, to all the others that donated item and time and just jumped in to help with out hesitation. Our first tournament was a great success.
