Nixon's Marine Moses Lake Invitational Results/Report

The Nixon's Invitational on Moses Lake was another huge success this year. As always, the Northwest Bass staff (Gary and Lisa) and the Nixon's crew (Jeff and Kathy) did a great job and had an awesome setup this year. It was also nice to see Kent Brown up from Cali to play MC for the event.

The fishing was especially good this year, in part by the warmer than usual weather leading up to it and the 'Super Moon'. Brown were on beds and the Green were just flat out snappin' for most with alot of mixed bags coming in. There seemed to be more 15-17lb bags than normal and it took almost 20lb to make it to day 2.

Day 1, Levi and DickHampton were leading with 22+lbs. There were 9 bags over 20lbs this year and one very close, with Aaron and Dave squeaking into 10th with 19.94lbs.Big fish day one was Anthony White and Mitch Johnson with a 7.77lb donkey largemouth!

Day 2, the top ten went out in order from 1st to 10th. The fishing was good yet again with everyone weighing limits of various sizes. Aaron and Dav came to the scales first and went from last to first with 23+lbs day two with a mixed bag. 2nd place was Broberg/Minderman with low 20lbs, 3rd was Lippincott/Treffry with 19.38lbs, 4th was Doucet/Rider with 19.36lbs and 5th was Conklin with mid 18lbs. (Sorry to the rest of the guys, I'm sure official results are coming soon). Again, lots of mixed bags day 2. Tripp had a monster green that looked to be in the 7 range which i presume was the biggest fish day 2.

Great job to Aaron/Dave who went home with 10K for 1st prize. Sounds like next year Jeff is planning on doing an official practice day Friday, required Drivers meeting at a venue/hotel Friday night and keeping entry the same. Looking forward to this Jeff, I think I speak for most when I say that this will only add to an already great tournament!
