Welcome to SJHT 4th event of the young 2024 Season where oncce again Mother Nature showed her Cards early and without conviction. The wind progressively got worse as the morning sun got over head but that still didn't prevent anglers from finding some bites and bringing them to the weigh scales.
UNION LAKE is always a toss up this time of the year. Typically, you have 1 or 2 anglers figure them out but today 3 anglers out of 6 reached there 3 Bass Limits. Not feeling 100%, I arrived and brought the scales and sat this one out. No need cancelling for just one person although some anglers probably wished I would have cancelled this event.....but as BoBo always said, "Fish got to Eat...Right"?
Let's get to it.
Please give a big congrats for a 2nd week in a row 1st place and Lunker winner Pete *The Professor* Ingemi with 3 Bass going 11.82lbs. Pete's Lunker went a chunky 5.60lbs. 2nd Place was won by Jackson *The Assassin* Fu with 3 bass going 7.75lbs. Third place was won by David *Tough as Leather* Snedeker with 3 Bass going 5.92lbs. Fu also won Miscellleaneous with a 2.50lb Pickeral.
