I live about 30 min from the Lake of the Arbuckles and I have caught some good fish out of there. But what took place there yesterday is almost unbelievable.

 

There was a tourn. there yesterday and the winnning sack (5 fish) was 42.04 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm guessing there will be a few hundred boats there next weekend.

 

 

Wow jb, that is incredible! Do you know the individual weights? Can you give us the rest of the story?

I know that's crazy!

I actually heard about this from my BIL before seeing the results on Basszone.

Wow they didn't even get big bass! Lol it was close though

This is the biggest bass for 6 teams.

2 over 10lbs, 2 over 9lbs and and 2 over 8lbs

Wow. That's pretty amazing, looks like I might have to put that onthe bucket list.

The weather was perfect yesterday in Oklahoma.

How disappointing would it be to have been that second place team? You bring in almost 30 pounds with a 9+lb kicker and only come in second over 10lbs behind the first place team? That's a once in a life time limit of fish most places but it won't even get a second look because of the crazy numbers the winning team put up.

I'm hooking up my boat right now...LOL.

Looks like they had another HUGE sack yesterday. Look at the difference between 1st and 2nd
