The day belonged to the family teams as the top two spots were taken by Father and Son pairs. On top was the Turlock team of Albert and A.J. Azevedo with 15.59 lbs anchored by the second largest fish of the day, a solid 4.78 lb Spot. This marks the second time in four tournaments the Azevedo's have brought the number two fish to the scale. A.J. can add to his college fund with the $1960.00 check they receive for coming in on top.
The second place team is no stranger to the winner's podium in the Motherlode. Oakdale's Father and Son, Randy and Glenn Pierson have been making the Motherlode lakes their little domain for a number of years now. The Pierson's brought a solid bag of 13.80 lbs to add $1037.00 to their fishing fund.
In 3rd, was the team of Aaron Cole of Salida and David Permenter from Riverbank. Aaron and David brought a good limit in of 13.20 lbs and collected a check for $848.00
Taking 4th place for the second straight week was Atwater's Don Longton, who is no stranger to big wins at Don Pedro, and his partner Corey Lewis of Merced with a total of 12.81 lbs. Boosting their weight was Big Fish of the tournament of 5.21 lbs, giving them a total payday of $900.00.
Falling only a mere 20 lbs off their incredible finish At Don Pedro last week, was Angels Camp's Olympic Skier Kyle Rasmussen and Joe Menzes. The fifth place team's weight was 12.55 lbs which brought them a check for $410.00. Those teams vying for the Angler of the Year race can only be happy that this team missed the first tournament of the year, as their performance in the next three (2nd, 1st and 5th) proved they would be locked solid for AOY. At this rate, they may still be force to contend with as they are in 17th place even with the missed tournament!
Team Ryan came to the scales in 6th place with a weight of 12.38 lbs. Ryan Huskey from Madera and Ryan Reynolds of Fresno went home with a check for $340.00
Last in the money, 7th place went to the team of Albert Oliver of Modesto and the invisable Stan McGee of Waterford. Albert fished by himself while his partner recoupperated from a minor procedure. We want to wish Stan a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him at Don Pedro in April. Albert took home a check for $280.00 for the team.
I would like to thank all the new teams for fishing and hope to see all in the next tournament at Don Pedro on Saturday April 10th. The Big Girls should be up and fat. This tournament should see big weights and will have a dramatic effect on the angler of the year race.
Please contact Danny Peluso at 209-874-9525. March 6th saw U.S. Angler's Choice hold the 4rd of 7 events this season, at Lake McClure. It was great day both for the weather and fishing action on this lake known for it's scrappy Spotted Bass and big Largemouth. The weather started clear and crisp and stayed clear as the temperature warmed as the day progressed. Lake McClure produced the fish too as 36 of the 40 teams competing brought limits to the scales.
