The Kosa retirees were on Lake Wylie last week with less than expected results. Fred Wright and Ken Johnson had 8.75 to take the win. They were followed by Ray Hembree and James Osborne with 8.30. Third place with 4.60 was Mack Wyatt and Johnny Christainberry. Wyatt and Christainberry had big bass of the day with a 3.25 largemouth. Low lake levels and no moving water was the reason most thought catches were down. This week the retirees head to Lake Norman.

MOSS

Once again a low turnout for the weekly Thursday night bass tournament on Moss Lake last week. Only 12 boats fished and topping the field was Walt Brysick and Tony Cook with 8.13. They also had big bass with a 3.13 largemouth. J.R. Garland and Ronnie Beason took second with 7.32 followed by tournament organizer Arnold Ledford and Clayton Wright with 4.22. Wayne Miller and Rufus took fourth with 3.90 and rounding out the top five was Brian and Cody Hoyle with 3.23.
