It was a wet, rainy, cloudy spring New Hampshire day with temps in the 50’s. Water temp was 57-59 and the smallmouth were just getting ready to spawn but not locked on their beds. Athletes caught pre-spawn fish, mostly smallmouth but a few largemouth were sprinkled in as well.
Winners, Joey Elliott and Avry Morehouse, left Michigan on Friday arrived Saturday, fished Sunday won and headed back to Michigan. This was their third trip to New Hampshire for this tournament!! They came in with 18 pound and one ounce of New Hampshire bronze back beauties!! They have already qualified by winning their State Championship to go to Nationals but wanted to fish for fun. The berth to Nationals goes to the second-place team of Tanner Thompson and Jared Curavoo who brought a mixed bag of largemouth and smallmouth to the scales for 16 pounds and one ounce.
