Hot temps, an overcast sky and a slight breeze, Saturday, August 13th, welcomed the Shoals Youth Bassmasters to Pickwick Lake. The B.A.S.S. Youth club launched from Colbert Park at the Natchez Trace Bridge. Fifty, dedicated, youth tournament anglers and their boat captains participated in the next to last club tournament of the 2016 season.
Walker Brown took big fish honors in the tournament with a nice 5-11 largemouth and a first place finish in his age division.
The club features three age divisions for fishing parity: Ten years of age and under; Eleven years old to fifteen; and sixteen years old to eighteen. Many club members go on to fish on college bass teams and most all continue their bass fishing interest for the rest of their lives.
