R&B Report
Randy Kafka and Nate Bontrager - First Place
Randy Kafka and Nate Bontrager caught 13.56 pounds to beat out 50 teams and win the R&B Circuit tournament on the Barbee Chain.
Neither angler had been to Barbee in 2019, so they began on a weed line that produced for them years ago. Immediately they began getting bit on the inside edge with a 9K Elite Lures Chatterbug. It took just 90 minutes to get their limit.
As that bite dissipated, they moved to the outside edge and whacked them pitching a 9K Elite Lures Flipping Jig with B&N Custom Baits Kicker Jig Trailer. In all they caught 40 keepers. All fish came in a 100-yard stretch. They won $740.
