His winning weight of 81lb, caught from peg two on marina, was little more than a pound more than Joey Griffin and Bronson Arme who ties for second place.

Bob topped a low-scoring Wednesday qualifier by just three ounces from Andy Searle, while Steve was a more comfortable winner on Saturday as weights increased despite the poor weather.
