Bobby Nelson and Jim Hippensteel - 1st Place
Bobby Nelson and Jim Hippensteel out-fished 19 other teams to win the R&B Super Tournament opener at Lake Maxinkuckee under brutal weather conditions last weekend.
The winners had 15.50 pounds that included the second biggest bass of the tournament and brought home a total of $1,000.
Mark Farver and Steve Kline were second ($530) with 15.05 pounds. Â They also caught the big bass ($110), which was a 6.50-pound monster largemouth.
Austin and TJ Becker were third ($300) with just over 12 pounds.
Teams can still qualify for the classic by fishing the three remaining Super Tournaments at Barbee, Paw Paw, and Lake Tippecanoe.
The next tournament is a regular season event ($70 entry fee) April 16 at Lake Wawasee. For more information, contact John Gipson Jr., 269-362-4670
