Yes Pineedles, they were all released , probably anywhere from 100 yards out from the docks all the way to 1/2acre island in the deeper water. Not many tournaments are held out of Center Harbor, this is the only big one that I know of. I was not in this one, but did speak to a few friends I saw on the lake that were in it, and some were really struggling for a limit. This time of year you can only keep 2 Bass per person, it was a team tournament so each boat could have brought back 4 fish. Do you fish for bass it that area? I know it quite well, especially during the summer when the fish go deeper. I would love to share some of my knowledge with you if you want. I'll even tell you exactly what to use, where to use it, how to use it, and where to buy it.
