June 7th, 2008
By: Darin Roddick-Small
On a day that brought an interesting mix of weather, 31 teams went out to try to locate the Madison Chain’s big large and Small mouth bass. The day started out with modest winds from the S/SE and partly sunny skies and temps in the low sixties. That however would all change. By the end of the day, severe weather with strong winds, hail and reports of funnel clouds in the area. Needless to say, it was an interesting day.www.bigbucksbass.com 
 
First Place
The team of Randy Howard and Mark Lueck unlocked the secrets on this day to come away with first place and over $1300 for their efforts. The team have a 6 fish limit of large mouths today that proved to be enough to best the rest of the field. The duo fished jigs in 5-10 feet of water on the deep weed edges to catch their fish. They ended up with a total of 20.35 pounds on their day. Congrats guys, nice finish.
Second Place
The team of Horabik and Sisson came in with a limit of large mouths that weighed in for 19.58 pounds. This was good enough for second place on this day. The duo was not available for interview at the time, so specifics of their day are unknown. Congratulations guys.
