Kosa
The Kosa retirees fished Lake Norman last week with John Black and Roger McNeilly bringing in 9.20 and taking the win. A tie for second between the teams of James Haynes/Tommy Wess and Larry Melton/George Crosswhite, as both brought in 7.0. Ronnie Humphries took third with 6.10 and he had big bass of the day with a 3.45 largemouth. This week it is back to Lake Wylie and a change on the start/finish times. The old timers want that extra hour of sleep, so it is an 8 am blast-off and a 2 pm weigh-in.

Hembree brought in 8.56, Beaver was second with 7.94. Third went to Tammy Melton with 7.46, and she answered that with big bass of the day, a 4.06 largemouth.
