United Bass Anglers made its annual trip to the fish factory known as Saratoga.  Only 16 fisherman made it.  Perhaps some got lost at the track.  As is always the case with Toga, anglers would need to weed through the plethora of squeakers and shorts, as well as find a "kicker" fish to take the top prize. 

At the end of thd day, Scott Cocioppo was crowned King of the Toga Party.  His terrific mixed bag of largies and smallies tipped the scales at 13.22lbs.  He also narrowly missed lunker with a 4.61lb largie.  He reported catching his kicker within the last hour of the tournament.  Congratulations to Scott for his first United victory of the year.

  

 

Second place went to John Garbarini, Jr.  This was John's 6th consecutive Top 3 finish.  His all largie bag weighed in at 12.15lbs.  He also caught his kicker fish, a 4.52 largie, with only 20 minutes to spare. 

  


Taking third was Richard Cattagio with a solid 11.61lb sack.  Congratulations!!!

Rounding out the Top 5 were Nestor Cruz - 11.30lbs and Lunker Winner 4.65lbs and John Nowicky 9.83lbs.

 

Evidently everyone looked like the Hulk in pictures today. Next up is Mahopac Night.
