Paducah Team Wins Paul Steele Memorial
by

Results from last Saturday’s
second annual Paul Steele Memorial Bass Tournament indicate some 77 boats
entered the competition to fight hot weather, boat traffic, and bass. It
was a good turnout under the holiday conditions and a tip of the hat to
the Two Rivers Bass Club for raising some $2,500 for the Paris-Henry
County Helping Hands on behalf of the late angler.
Taking top honors with a very impressive stringer of bass was the team of
Shawn Penn and Terry Bolten of Paducah, KY. They boated a 5-bass limit
tipping the scales at 22.05 pounds and earning them $2,000. Their limit
consisted of the tournament’s big bass in a 5.48 pound chunk that beat out
second big fish by a mere one-hundredths of a pound.
Second place went to team of David Locke and David Jones o Grand Rivers,
KY. They boated a limit weighing 19.92 pounds including the second big
fish of the event in a 5.47-pound largemouth. Second place earned $1,000.
Third place went to Tony Callus and Gerald Sanders of Jackson for a limit
weighing 17.37 pounds. They earned $325. Local anglers making the payout
were David and Andy Tyler in seventh place with a 15-pound plus stringer
and Tommy Ellis and Donnie Williams in ninth place with a 15-pound plus
stringer. Each team earned $200.
Roger “retired” Buffington and Mike “find a partner that’s catching them”
Ward placed 20th but earned $600 in a slotted payout.
