Tri Valley Bass Tournament

A calculated risk paid dividends for a father and son team in the final regular season Tri Valley Bass Tournament at Lopez Lake.

After dumping three fish prior to the midday weigh-in things got a bit dicey.

The Roses, son Jeff of Oceano, and his dad, Craig, from Bakersfield, gambled that they could improve upon a 9.78-pound three-fish weight. When Jeff caught a 3.60-pounder on his first afternoon cast the team’s outlook was golden. But two hours without a catch removed the glow.

“We hooked four fish but boated only three in the afternoon,” the 29-year-old said. The risk takers won their second test of the year by 2.16 pounds.

Anchoring the team’s six-fish bag weight of 18.99 pounds was a 4.75- pounder caught by Craig, 59.

Big fish honors went to Matt Short, 15, of Templeton.

“He worked and worked before finally pulling a 5.86-pounder out of a brush tangle,” his dad, Jay, reported.

Santa Marians Danny Knotts and Skeeter Moore earned anglers of the year crowns by a margin of 16 points. They compiled 411 points with six top four tourney placings including two wins.
