June 20, 2026
Joe Raposo secured first place with a five-fish limit weighing 20.43 pounds. With a Big Bass of 4.94. For his performance, he earned $406.00 and the first-place plaque. A very solid performance from a great guy and well-respected local angler. Joe was determined to place on this body of water knowing the field had some good local sticks.
Corey Gillis came in Second Place with a pretty good bag of 5 fish weighing 15.32 pounds. Receiving a second-place plaque and $200.00. Corey typically catches em good on Lake Shirley and is always in contention for the money!
We would like to also recognize Sheron K. Brown with a very nice 3rd place finish and a 5 fish bag of 14.72 anchored by a 4.03 lbs BIG BASS! The Lunkerman earned $79.00 of ice cream money for his efforts.
The top rankings and payouts are as follows:
- First Place: Joe Raposo – 20.43 lbs ($406.00)
- Second Place: Corey Gillis – 15.32 lbs ($200.00)
- Third Place: Sheron K. Brown – 14.72 lbs ($79.00)
