Jim Sellers - 4th Place Bill Poirier - 5th Place Bob Gwinn - 6th Place

Editor's Note: Scott Ellis's (7th Place) "loner" on Sunday was the smallest fish weighed (1 pound 1 ounce) for the entire tournament ! It was decided that considering the amount of larger fish caught, it would be a disservice to that fish to show its picture.

Sunday "Big Fish"

"Classic Champ" & "Big Fish"

Buddy Doyle - Sunday ''Big Fish'' and 2nd Place overall.  Well done, Buddy !!!

Jerry Bischoff - ''Classic Champ'' and ''Classic Big Fish'' !!!

Buddy Doyle had numerous bad things happen after this "biggin" (7 pounds 5 ounces) bit, but with the help of his "backseater" David DeBardeleben, Buddy got this fish to the scales. I think that look is a sigh of relief after all was said and done. Nice fish, Buddy !

Jerry Bischoff - 19 pounds 2 ounces total weight, Saturday "Big Fish" and "Classic Champ." The culmination of a most excellent season, huh Jerry ! Congratulations ! P.S. Jerry used #12 test line to pull that "load" out of the grass. Now, that's skill in anyone's book.
