The Brandon Belt $100,000 Grand Slam bass tournament started on a very windy Thursday with over 220 teams vying for the coveted $100,00 first place prize. On day 3, Championship Saturday, the field had been whittled down to the top 20 teams with Michael Fesco (boat captain) and Holden Ashwort (team partner) sitting in first place. At noon on that third day Michael and Holden had no fish in the boat, but by the 3:00 weigh-in time they had not only found them, they bagged 26.7 pounds for a 3 day total of 73.84 pounds to win the tournament. Lake Sam Rayburn proves once again that it is a world class fishery. Congratulations to Michael and Holden!
