16.53 lbs. take win from 57 fishing teams on Lake Wylie
More than 50 boats come out for April 21 Thursday Night Tournament Trail, and organizers say weather could be helping.
“We have been fortunate with the weather this season during the tournaments,” said Erwin Gaston, trail co-organizer with Jeremy Cabe. “Had a little wind but that just keeps the bugs away.”
There were 57 teams in all and Travis Young and Neil Sheehan brought in bass weighing 16.53 pounds for the win.
They were followed by Robin Cairico and Jim Davis with 15.71 pounds to take second. Third place went to Christian and Cameron Shoda with 14.99 pounds, followed by Mike Stephens with 14.89 for fourth. In fifth place was Tony Vierra and Jeff Zebel with 14.78 pounds.
The weekly night tournament runs through Aug. 25 launching and weighing in at Buster Boyd Access Area with the Championship Fish-off on Sept. 2-3.
Trail sponsors are Academy Sports and Kangaroo Express.
