Starboard Choice Report

Bill Mathews and Matt Davis - 1st Place

Bill Mathews and Matt Davis caught 19.06 pounds on the St. Joseph River over the holiday to win $200 in the Starboard Choice Marine Fall Open.

The duo caught their fish on Ned Rigs and blade baits fished slowly in deep-water current breaks. Their biggest smallmouth weighed 5.48 but it wasn’t big enough to take the big bass pot ($50) which was won by Jarrod and Bryce (no last names provided) with a 6.30-pound smallmouth.  

Brian Souza and Derek Deardorf were second ($120) with 12.18 pounds and Hunter Lenardson and Evan De La Rosa were third ($80) with 11.82 pounds.
