Took almost 19lbs to win and right at 18 for 2nd. 1st place had big fish that was almost 5 lbs. not sure how many boats but around 18+or-. The man from Tarboro is still a force to be reckoned with for sure. Age has not slowed him down. River was stained pretty darn good if not muddy from the city ramp up beyond the plant is all i saw.
