Huge limit is anchored by tournament’s big bass
Jesse Wise of Erwin and Terry Hobbs of McGee’s Crossroads beat 22 others teams that qualified for the June 8 CBS Quality Cards NC Triangle Area Team Bass spring mini-championship with an impressive 5-fish Shearon Harris limit that weighed 27.55 pounds.
Wise and Hobbs won $2,940 for finishing first, and the 7.7-pound bass they caught that was the day’s biggest was worth another $161, and they cashed in another $298 bonus for a total prize of $3,399.
Mike Eggers and Mark Willis of Garner took second with a 5-fish catch weighing 23.14 pounds, plus a second-place bonus that brought their winnings to $922. A 7.35-pound linker anchored their catch.
Bryce McClenney of Raleigh and Michael Christie of Fuquay-Varina won the trail’s Points Award title worth $400.
Competitors reported catching their fish in three to 18 feet of water with crankbaits, jigs, and plastics during a sunny day with temperatures reaching the 80s.
