WRAY & WRAY WIN 2021 PRO GUIDE BATTERIES AIA SEASON KICKOFF, PRESENTED BY PHOENIX BOATS
TABLE ROCK LAKE - FEBRUARY 27, 2021
Port of Kimberling Resort - 126 Boats
The 2021 Anglers in Action season is now underway, with the kickoff at Table Rock Lake last Saturday, February 27th. 126 boats arrived at the Port of Kimberling Resort Saturday morning, ready to hit the water and get the season going.
Unfortunately, the fog had different plans. A scheduled 7am take-off turned into a 2 hour fog delay. Safety of the anglers is our #1 priority, and always will be. We appreciate everyone's patience during the delay. Weigh-in was extended an hour, with the first flight due in at 4pm.
71 teams (56% of the field) brought fish across the AiA scales Saturday. A total of 246 bass were weighed in, totaling 707 lbs. There were 29 five fish limits weighed in.
Josh Wray and Donald Wray were one of the teams to round up a limit on Saturday, with a solid sack of Table Rock bass that weighed in at 18.56 lbs., good for first place and the win at the 2021 AiA season kickoff.
We want to thank all the anglers that participated Saturday, and to all of our great sponsors that contribute to the success of Anglers in Action. Please support the companies that support the tournaments you fish.
We also want to thank Eric Prey and Kory Mitchell with Table Rock Fishing Intel. Visit them at www.tablerockfishingintel.com for all your fishing info at Table Rock Lake.
