United made a last minute switch from Greenwoood to the more productivie Candlewood. Who wants to be $50 to fish Greenwood anyway? Warnings of strong storms for all of Saturday proved to be a bit off. Although, during the course of the day one very windy squall line did make a showing. However, the rain did not put a damper on the fishing with 15/16 possible limits weighed in.
Manny "The Man" Cruz, put a hurting on the fish with his 18lb+ sack which led him to yet another victory on the season. This guy is on fire. Scott Cocioppo and Erik Ruckdeschel tied for 2nd or 3rd depending on how you look at it. Both anglers weighed in nice 14.6lb bags. Rounding out the Top 5 were Steven Duffe and John Garbarini with 14.2 and 14.04 lbs, respectively. "The Man" also took lunker by besting Ruckdeschel's 5lb 3oz largie with a 5lb 11oz largie.
