Tallulah Falls bass fishers took on West Point Lake in the season-opening Bass Nation tournament on Saturday. A trio of TFS anglers competed, as the junior team of Team Broome finished 3rd to highlight the TFS success.
Team Broome (DJ Broome and Shepherd Crumley) came in third among all middle-schoolers, reeling in five fish for 7.17 lbs. That resulted in a 298 Angler of the Year points that go toward the final tournament standings.
Meanwhile, Team James (Haygen and Handley James) in the high school division placed 79th in a deep and crowded field. The sisters reeled in two fish and weighed in at 3.38 lbs, good for 226 AOY points. Austin Zigler, fishing solo, came in 93rd with his three catches for a total of 2.92 lbs and 213 AOY pts.
The bass fishing team competes next on December 3 on Lake Lanier.
