2023 Queen City Main- Event 2 Yadkin Yolo Presented by Rock Outdoors is in the books and it was a record breaker. 120 anglers took to the muddy and windy Yadkin system today. Anglers dropped some big bass on the board with 10 fish over 20inches coming across TourneyX.com. The bite was fast and furious for many anglers. Early on we had limits over 70 with one over 80! 4 fish limit for 80! That’s a fun morning. The overall weather was gorgeous. Not cold, no rain, sunshine all day.
Anglers launched at 6:30am today and started casting at 7am. Before you know it, it was 4:00pm and we were hanging out in Rock Outdoors with Shane Dublin and Jordan Stogner Lanham. The food was awesome and went perfect with the Pepsi products on hand. Lexington Visitor Center came and met Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing today. They are awesome to work with and we love visiting the Lexington NC area. Boonedox and Matthew Rollins came by and hung out also. It’s so awesome to have the people who are helping build this series come hang at the ceremony. We had about 50 anglers come back to Rock and each angler was rewarded with a nice Raffle prize from the table.
As far as fishing, we had 282 fish submitted today. Huge shout out to Mary Ferreri, Blaine Upton and Christopher Neil Cantwell for helping judge today. We had 36 limits and 35 skunks.
