LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Thursday, April 28, at 6:30 a.m. the Toyota Fishing Tournament took off with 77 pro and 77 co-anglers.
The wind and fishing was challenging but the results were incredible.
Friday's cut left 25 pros and 25 co-anglers to return on Saturday.
The pros and co-anglers were joined by 33 college teams from as far away as Idaho.
Saturday afternoon's weigh-in had some very exciting moments especially when our own Kelseyville co-angler lost the tournament boat by one ounce.
Sunday brought 28 high school teams on the lake. Weather calmed down and teams from all over Northern California caught some nice bass.
Sunday weigh-in brought more heartaches and excitement when the first place team was disqualified, leaving the second place team from the Lake County Fishing Club to be named the winners.

Identity theft is a serious crime that can wreak havoc with your finances, credit history, reputation, and can take time, money and patience to resolve.
Shredding confidential financial documents and paperwork is one way to deter criminals from stealing personal information.
Savings Bank also encourages customers to protect their identity by switching from paper account statements to eStatements.
With eStatements, customers reduce the risk of confidential account information getting into the wrong hands through tampering of mail or paper records that are stored at home.
Savings Bank representatives will be available at the shred events to supply information about preventing identity theft and what to do if your identity is stolen.

California hunters can now purchase hunting licenses for the 2022-23 season, as well as apply for the Big Game Drawing online.
Californians have many options to bring home wild game for their dinner table, and at this time, the current COVID-19 pandemic is not expected to lead to the closure or delay of any hunting seasons.
The deadline to apply for the Big Game Drawing is June 2, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. The 2022 California Big Game Hunting Digest includes information about hunts, tag quotas, season dates and the Big Game Drawing.
As part of a broader effort to go paperless, CDFW transitioned to a digital format for the California Big Game Hunting Digest last license year.
The hunting digest is no longer printed and shipped to license agents or customers, but the electronic version of the hunting digest continues to be available online.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife website is the most reliable source for the Big Game Digest.
CDFW also wants to remind hunters nonlead ammunition is required for all hunting in California.
Due to changes in the penal code regarding the purchase or transfer of ammunition, purchase ammunition well in advance of hunting and practice with it in order to ensure firearms are sighted-in appropriately before heading into the field.
In some cases, California deer, elk and pronghorn antelope hunters whose 2021 seasons were cut short or eliminated as a result of wildfires and public land closures can seek a reinstatement of their preference points and/or receive refunds of their tag fees.
Eligible hunters must mail their unfilled tags and written requests for preference point reinstatements and/or refunds to CDFW postmarked no later than April 30.
Learn more about post-season tag returns on the CDFW website.
