Cold and windy weather didn't slow the bass fishing at Clear Lake last weekend as a pair of tournaments produced some huge bass.

Angler's Choice held a tournament on Saturday and it took 30.75 pounds to win it and more than 29 pounds just to get a check. The overall average weight per fish was hefty 4.92 pounds. On Sunday, American Bass held a team tournament and the winners were George and Kevin Cockriell of Kelseyville with 32.93 pounds. It took more than 28 pounds to get a check. The big fish of the tournament weighed 10.3 pounds and the average weight per fish was 4.76 pounds. Additionally, there were nine bass caught that weighed more than 7 pounds each.

No other lake in the state, or the nation, is capable of producing as many quality bass a Clear Lake.
