The tournament results for the 2018 Pete Mathews Memorial Region 3 Regional Tournament are in and available by clicking 2018 Pete Mathews Region 3 Memorial Tournament Regional Standings.
Overall, we had a total of 307 fish caught with only 7 dead. It would have been nice to have 0 dead but good job considering the number caught. While the cold front may have influenced fishing this weekend, overall there were some impressive bags brought to the scales. Day 1 there were 26 anglers with a limit but only 12 on day 2. The total weight caught was 552.20 lbs with an average weight of fish being 1.80 lbs and an average of 3.41 lbs per angler. Great Job!
While on the subject of great jobs, I have a few things to mention.
