GRANITE BAY - The Folsom Bass League opened the 2005-06 Season on November 6th. At blastoff, the 44 teams stood for the National Anthem. After a quick reminder of some of the rules, it was time to start the tournament. One by one the teams blasted off to their first fishing area of the day.
The final results showed that Brian Whitney and Jay LeClerc took first place, which earned them $850, had big fish for another $350, and also took home RANGER CUP money for another $200. All told, this team took home $1400 and some nice plaques to commemorate the win.
Second place went to Justin Lucas and Jack Schmidt that earned them $600 as well as two plaques.
Early leaders Niels Jensen and Ron Tarin brought third place home. They earned $450 for third place and another $250 for the 2nd big fish of the day, a 3.62 lb spotted bass.
