2024 North Central Region Team Standings

3/16/24 Stillhouse Hollow @ Stillhouse Marina

22 teams of anglers were greeted with overcast conditions to begin the day at Stillhouse Lake. Those overcast skies quickly turned to rain. It never rained really hard, but raingear was needed all day long and gave us a break at weigh in.  The pattern for the top teams was fishing deeper grass with a variety of techniques. 

1st Place went to the team of Casey Garcia and Landon Bennett with 21.40 pounds, anchored with Big Bass of the tournament of 6.13 pounds.

2nd place went to Randy Fleeman and Rob Paxton with 18.17 pounds.

3rd place was David Blackstock and Blake Diehl with 18.14 pounds and a 5.60 kicker. 

4th place went to the steady team of Pat Grimm and Jack Morse with 17.27 pounds. 

All but 6 teams weighed a 5 fish limit. All 100 fish weighed were released back into the lake. No dead fish were presented to the scales. All in all, a great day on the water.
