24 Teams gathered at Alhonna Resort for the season finale of the Lake of the Ozarks Division, sponsored by Bassing Bob. Partly cloudy skies changed to a steady rain as the remnants of a tropical storm moved up through the Mid-west, forcing teams to adjust to the changing conditions.
Coming in first place today was the team of Roger and Chase Fitzpatrick. Roger and Chase fished both Deep and Shallow from Close to take off up to the Grand Glaze Bridge area. The teams deep bites came on a 1oz Omega football jig with a Biospawn Vilebug trailer. Their shallow bites came by flipping a 3/8oz Omega jig with the Biospawn Vilebug trailer around docks. The teams best five dipped the scales to 17.87 pounds. With the win Roger also collected The Highest finishing Skeeter incentive Money.

Taking the Runner Up position today was the team Of Scott and Scott Danek. The Mercury, Nitro, Motorguide sponsored team fished from the Dam area back to take off fishing brush piles in 10 to 20 feet of water. Not all piles held quality fish so the team moved around a lot hitting at least 25 piles through out the day. Plastic worms were the teams bait of choice.
