Sixteen boats hit the waters of Boundary Dam on Saturday morning in search of some fish and some prize money.

They returned to shore in the afternoon to weigh their haul and divvy up the cash as part of the sixth annual KRJ International Bass Fishing Tournament.

The team of Alan Nicholas and Rick Breisnes caught four fish weighing a total of 15.5 pounds. For that, they won the top prize of $1,000 and a special prize courtesy of Kendall's Supply.

In second place, finishing in the same spot they did last year, were Dalan Wheeler and Todd Folkerts. Their fish came in at 15.32 pounds and that earned them a cheque for $500.

Lance Marcotte and Keith Parkinson finished in third place with a haul of 14.98 pounds and won $250.

In fourth place were Brad and Darren Frater, who won $200 with their fish weighing 13.8 pounds.

Dwight Tonn and Don Austring rounded out the top five, with their total of 13.42 pounds good for a $150 cheque.

Doug Franklin hauled in a bass weighing 4.38 pounds, which earned him the Big Bass Trophy, as well as $200 courtesy of Peterson Construction and a trolling motor courtesy of Canadian Tire.

The trophies were donated by McComb Automotive Supply, Room by Room Furniture and Murray GM.
