December Lake Monticello Bass Tournament Results
The Midland Bassmasters held a December tournament at Lake Monticello Jenkinsville last Saturday. Nine of sixteen anglers did not weigh a bass as the clear water and bright skies made fishing difficult. Wayne Fields won with seven bass totaling nine pounds 15 ounces, Robert Sigwald was second with six pounds nine ounces, and Lendell Hutto took third with six pounds two ounces. Terry Rhinehart claimed the big fish pot with a 1 pound 15 ounce bass.
