2023 Queen City Main- Event 3 Santee Cooper Presented by Tourney X is in the books!!! It was an interesting weekend to say the least. Mother nature once again attacked us and threw some nasty storms and wind around the lake forcing us to move to a Sunday event. With the weather and the move we still had 161 anglers fishing on Sunday for our 3rd Main Trail event of the season. We knew Santee Cooper would give up the big fish and it showed out producing 45 fish 20 inches or longer!! 5 80 inch limits and 23 70+ limits. Not only does it show why this lake is ranked top 3 in the country, but also the caliber of angler that came through Clarendon County this weekend with QC and the BOS series. We had a great venue set up and working with Jesse Surette is a dream come true for this club. He is the best host you could ask for. Working alongside AJ Mcwhorter isnt bad either . I enjoy the double dip opportunity we get with this club and this 4th edition was a fun one with BOS taking QC money, and QC taking BOS money. Come 5pm, we were ready to announce the big winners, and here is how it played out.

Anglers:161

Fish Caught: 400

Fish over 20inches- 45

5- 80inch bags

23 -70inch bags

The Rock Outdoors Team Win goes home with Landon Smith and Tim Fitz – 78inches. That’s 3 team wins in a row!
