100% BASS Press Release 03/02/08 - Riley / Benson Hit the Spot at Shasta Finishing on top were 5 time anglers of the
year, Jim Riley and Bob Benson, both from the City of Shasta Lake. Second place went to Cottonwood’s Steve Mellow and Frank Bulthus. They were the one team that did something totally different as the Ripped Lucky Craft Rip Baits all day long focusing on Main Lake Points with deep water, looking for the fish that were just moving up. It worked pretty well since their 5 fish came in at 17.36 pounds and brought them with in a whisker of winning. They also received a pair of those nice trophies and a check in the amount of $1805. Good job. Third place went to a couple of really nice
guys, Pete Pinkerton of Lakehead and Don Reighley of Oroville. Don caught the
Mercury
Forth place went to long drivers, JR Wright of Truckee and Cody Meyer of Grass Valley. With second big bass (a beautiful 6.39 pound SPOT), in their limit of 15.88, these guys also gave everyone a run for the money, which totaled $630 for them. The final top 5 place went to Father and Son Pat and Kyle Clement. They weighed in at 14.62 and took home $380. 100% BASS would like to thank the fine sponsors that make the difference between fishing and the quality events we are able to provide as a result of their support.

Obviously considered locals, they are one of the most consistent team in resent
memory. This day was no exception. While they had a big fish, their other 4
where the best of the day, giving them the win. Their 5 fish totaled 17.92
pounds and like the other top finishers, they were all Spotted Bass. Benson told
everyone at the awards ceremony, they caught all their fish on Brown Gann’s Jigs
with Brown trailers. They spent all day in the Sacramento Arm and did the old
run and gun from point to point to point. While burning a lot of gas, it sure
paid off as they took home $2980 and trophies compliments of Phil’s Props in
Redding. Congratulation to Jim and Bob for another exiting day, and thank you
for taking the time to thank your sponsors, Phil’s Props, Ganns Jigs, MF Custom
Worms and Oasis Water Sports. Pictured at right is Bob Benson with his big fish
and a 4 pound cousin to go with it. 
Pro
XS Big Bass of the day, a monster 7.39 pound Spotted Bass (Pictured left) which
anchored their 5 fish limit of 17.27 pounds. Reighley said later, the big fish
came on a Huddleston Swimbait, but the rest of their fish came on crawdad
colored tube baits and hand poured worms. They spent most of the day in the
McCloud Arms, but did spend some time on the main lake where the big one was
caught. As a reward they took home $1210, Trophies and a lot of hand shakes for
the huge bass. Don also took the time to thank JB Tackle.
