The 2016 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Qualifier #6 at Kerr Lake produced another  great turnout for the PBC Trails even though the water level was 306+!!  The weather started out great with airtemps about 57 degrees in the am on up to 82 in the pm. Water temps averaged 73. Winds were quiet in the am and blowing up to about 10 in the pm. A great total of 74 teams participated with most all of them weighing in fish. The bite at Kerr was tough with weather patterns coming thru the area, some cold fresh water rains, rising water levels and cold fronts. It’s just up & down. We did have quite a few 13+ bags and some nice 4 to 5 pounders seen.

Stump Bledsoe & Glenn Elliott finished 1st Place weighing in 5 bass at 18.96 lbs. and along with winning the 1st Place TWT, 2nd place big fish (4.61) and with a check coming from Skeeter Boats Real Money Program , theirwinnings will top out at $4,218!!!
