With a third place finish ($201.00) the Chicago team of David Matual and Carlos Ferrer took CRBT Team of the Year honors with 282 point for the season ending tournament. The two were able to managed four keeper bass that weigh 7.47 pounds. “When we heard that the brother team of Michael and Joe Nega only had one fish we kinda knew we had it said David” Team of the Year award was $370.00.
It was a different story for the team of Howard Malinowski (Alsip) and Bob Hicks (Creastwood) who team up moments before the take off. Seems that both were missing their partners and were planning to fish alone. The two also encountered some aftermath of the tragedy of this last week. The two were fishing an area near the Great Lakes Naval Base and was asked to leave by gunpoint. “When I seen those two m16’s pointed right at us I just picked up the trolling motor as fast as I could. Didn’t need to be asked twice said Howard. We did manage to get four nice smallmouth before being asked to leave”. They worked there way back south and did pick up one more for a total weight of 15.59 pounds with one taking big bass (3.97 lb. $240.00) for the tournament and a 1st place finish ($540.00). Second place ($302.00) went to the brother team of Joe (Oak Lawn) and Mike Egan (Crestwood) with 5 fish that weigh-in at 9.96 lb. Forth place ($126.00) Kevin McLean / Jim Dahl 7.04 lb. Fifth place ($88.00) Francis Monnett and son Frank with 3 fish weighing 5.34 lb.
