First place went home with Brian Gibson and Erik Block on Crescent Lake. Second place John Barry and Nate Eveland on Moens Chain. And third place with father and son team of Brad and Brady Jorgensen on Lake Julia. Payouts went down to 10th place including largest fish of the tournament 46.5 and largest pike 33.5 .
