Bayou
Segnette Bassmaster Fishing Tournament In October
Bayou
Segnette is a State Park located in Westwego, Louisiana just
across the Mississippi River and a few miles from New Orleans. I
took these photos today. This huge wooded Cypress Park and
Wetlands is located only 1.8 miles from the Bertaut Sports
Office! Almost every pair of anglers (Pro with new Partner) that
came to the weigh-in stage stated they got 50-80 keeper fish over
the 12 inch minimum today alone. The officials record the top 5
fish total weight, and they also weigh big individual fish. Then
the kids in the yellow hats run across the grass to the bayou
with the baskets of live and flapping fish to the release vessel
that has 5 live-well holding tanks. It departs and they release
the fish back in different spots over the entire area. The big
fish for today was caught by Mr. Gary Alverson, it weighed 4
pounds 14 ounces! Big fish #2 was 4 pounds 13 ounces, and big
fish #3 was also caught by a smiling Mr. Alverson at 4 pounds 7
ounces. The fish are in the photos below. Mr. Kenyon Hill is the
tournament leader with a 14 pound 7 ounce total today that gives
him a 48 pound 6 ounce tournament total so far! Final day updated
tomorrow! **UPDATE**
Kenyon Hill won his first Bassmaster Title and $100,000 in the
K-Mart Top 150 Tournament Today!
