Congratulations to the team of Randy Carroll and Shawn O’Malley for securing the first points win of the season!!!

Randy is very well known for his “leadcore trolling” prowess and he put his skills to use.
The leadcore duo focused on one particular flat all day near Lake Senachwine where they pulled #5 Shadraps up and downstream in the 12-13 feet of water to conect with the winning fish. Their six fish limit weighed 12.53 pounds, which netted them $1,750.00. They also had the second place big fish of the event a 2.49 sauger good for $180.00. Way to go guys!!!
