Mario had an amazing session through the last few days of the competition that brought him from one end of the leader board to the other. Mario caught the second biggest fish of the whole competition, his new Mexican PB.
2nd place was taken by Tom Bigelow, from the unlikely state of Ohio, with 132 lbs 2 oz.

It was truly amazing to see these big fish come from Ohio. Thanks Tom for proving that any state can be a contender in a tournament like this! Tom’s 41 was not only the big fish for this event, but a record catch for CAG member in Ohio!
3rd place came from the North, taken by Ed Jarvis from Ontario, Canada with 129 lbs.

After a great showing at the DC fish in, Dave jumped up the leader board with some amazing mirrors I would have never guessed came from Pennsylvania, including this 28!
