The weekly Lake Fairfield Tuesday Night Bass Tournament was held on August 14th. It was a tough night for fishing for the 17 anglers as only two legal bass were brought to the scales.
Wayne Loven (above) of Fairfield took first place with a 4 pound, 3 ounce bass while J.D. Hancock (below) of Teague grabbed second place with a 3 pound, 14 ounce fish. Loven left with $153 for his top spot finish while Hancock took home $102 for second.
Entry fee for the event is $15 per person with 100% of the entry fees being paid back to the winning fishermen. Payout on a field of 1-20 entries is 60% of the pot for first place and 40% for second.
