The winners, Badeaux and Jordan, finished the one-day tournament with a fish limit and a total weight of 18 pounds, 5 ounces. This weight tied them for first with Caz Anderson and Dean Crisler of Lewis County High School in Vanceburg, Kentucky. However, Badeaux and Jordan won with the tie-breaking biggest bass weigh-off with their biggest bass weighing in at an even 6 pounds, beating Anderson/Crisler’s biggest bass of 5 pounds, 5 ounces.
