Paris Landing, TN - The team of Sam Lashlee and Jeff Davis literally cast aside the rest of the field as they captured the first-place prize of $4,000 in the 16th annual Governors Bass Tournament, Sunday.

Lashlee, of Camden, and Davis, of Waverly, came away with a catch of 29.12 pounds to easily outdistance Scott Mansfield, who hauled in 22.42 to take second place and $1,500.

The tournament, originally scheduled for May 8th, was pushed back to Sunday because of flood conditions back in the month’s second weekend. The date change didn’t seem to faze the anglers as 269 teams launched from Paris Landing State Park. That figure was from the 333 of a year ago but still the second most in tourney history.

In total, $11,000 in prize money was awarded with proceeds from the tournament benefiting Austin Peay athletics.

In addition to Lashlee/Davis and Mansfield, five other teams, Jeremy Conrad/Steven Trull (22.23/$1,000), Russell Moran/Frank Bell (21.59/$600), Doug Pietrzak/Shane Ross (21.33/($400), Marshall Russell/Eddie Basford (20.73/$200) and Jim Story/Harold Knight (20.67) had catches of 20 pounds or more. The top 25 places earned cash prizes.

The team of Stump Spencer/Leo Knowles, however, had the tourney’s big fish at 6.83 pounds while the team of Joe Grogan/Joe McElyea were second with a 6.56-pund catch.
