Stan Culling takes home 1st place at the final regular season tournament of the year at Willow Springs Lake
Fishing was tough, with not a single limit brought to the scales, but Pro Stan culling and Am Steve Lopez managed to bring in a single fish to take home the cash! This put Stan in a 2nd place finish overall for Angler of the Year behind television host Johnny Johnson who has now taken home that award for the third year in a row.
1st place went to Pro Stan Culling and Am Steve Lopez with 1 fish and big fish of the day at 3.19 pounds.
2nd place went to Pro Kenny Donaldson and Am Jerry McAnnally with 3 bass at 3.05 lbs. including 2nd big fish, a 1.55 pounder for Jerry McAnnally.
3rd place went to Guy Hartman and Luke Reidhead with 1 fish at 1.67 pounds.
