The Bowie High School bass fishing team continued a successful first campaign, placing fifth at the Lake Texoma Meet on Saturday.
The meet took place at Cedar Mills Marina in Gordonville, north of Whitesboro.
Burleson’s Centennial High School was the meet winner.
Hadley Morgan and Lane Hopson fared the best among the Bowie two-person teams. The pair weighed 2.78 pounds of fish.
Mitch Sanders fished alone, and caught 2.63 pounds.
Spenser Meekins and Jared Stone teamed up to catch 2.32 pounds of fish.
Those three teams finished in the top-25. There were 67 two-man teams overall.
The teams of Jake Rhyne and Kollin Gillaspia and Stetson Gaines and Brandon McChesney didn’t catch any fish large enough to weigh.
“It was an absolutely miserable day to fish with the heat,” Trent Gillaspia, Bowie fishing team coordinator, said. “There were no clouds. More than half the teams didn’t have any fish to weigh.”
With no cloud cover, fish are less likely to bite.
“With the conditions, I am pleased with the way we fished.”
There was a boat captain’s side pot, and Rusty Edwards won it. Edwards caught a fish weighing 7.86 pounds. He served as the boat captain for Mitch Sanders.
Bowie’s next meet will take place in March at Lake Lewisville.
