Chuck Murrey Fund Raiser results

Two excellent catches made for an exciting weigh-in at the Chuck Murrey Fund Raiser Sunday, Sept.19, at Dillon Lake.
Fishing there has been slow, by Jerry Mossman and Tim Magers brought nine bass the the scales and Shane Kimble and Steve Wahl weighed in the only 10-fish limit. When the smoke cleared, Mossman and Magers won the contest with 13.89 pounds, while Kimble and Wahl were close behind at 13.26 pounds.
It was a case of lake largemouth outweighing river smallmouth, as Mossman and Magers pounded the main lake to catch their bass -- al largemouth -- while Kimble and Wahl had mostly smallmouth, obviously caught up in the river.
Mossman and Magers also had the big bass of the event, it weighing in at 2.64 pounds.
Casey Coffee and Scott Edddlebute finished third with five bass weighing 7.55 pounds, Randy Brownrigg and Joe Middendorf took fourth wit five bass weighing 6.57 pounds and Steve Bradley and Bobby Webb were fifth with three bass weighing 4.97 pounds. Webb and Bradley also had the second-largest bass of the contest at 2.31 pounds.
Twenty team fished the tournament, with 16 weighing in a total of 58 bass.
