Woohooo! Congratulations to Billy & Jamie! That’s been a good spot the last few August tournaments. Sounds like all those fishing the upper end struck out despite Friday there was 2 over 20lbs & 2 over 30lbs caught. But that’s Clark Hill for you.

I live in West Columbia and Gary lives in Lexington…

Yep Bryan. I had some good days up there this summer, but the last 2 times have been rough. You have to have good local knowledge to catch fish uplake now with consistency. That or either sit on a golden horseshoe:stuck_out_tongue: We knew we could catch fish down the lake and came up bronze. Team Hardcore will take that any day. Congrats to Nobody and Catchall for gold and silver finishes respectively!

I second that. Excellent job catching fish guys! Congratulations to all that gottem and even those that struggled. The Hill can be tough but we always seem to have a good time in the end.

Guys, sorry for the mistakes. They are corrected. Still trying to figure everything out. Congrats to all the winners. Was a tough day on the upper end, but some of us live or die on the upper end. Just got to fish up there. Had good fish on, but the big ones got away.:smiley: Maybe next time.

That’s ok David. We haven’t been on the podium in so long, you couldn’t be expected to remember where we live:smiley: You and Richy do a terrific job! That’s coming from someone who spent years handling and coordinating tournaments and stats. Your fielding percentage is probably way higher than mine:sunglasses:

I’m really starting to believe the o2 system at Modoc is starting to change the dynamics of the Hill. It’s becoming more like Murray in the summer heat. I think the upper end will be great in the winter and spring.
