The Many Bass Club held its August Tournament on Saturday, August 10 and Sunday, August 11. As usual, the anglers could choose to fish either Saturday or Sunday. Twelve anglers fished the tournament, and five five-fish limits were brought to the scales. Fishing was similar on both Saturday and Sunday.
