Prizes were handed out for the top 10 total weights of five legal bass as well as for lunker, the biggest fish of all.

Second place winners were Christian Bench and Marci Kunzmann of Annadale, NJ with five fish weighing 13.46 pounds. They were defending their first place finish last year, but were a little shy of the winning weight this year.
