ATHENS, Ala. \u2013 Payton Morgan and Joe Morgan claimed victory at the inaugural Team Series Championship, presented by Caymas Boats, held April 16\u201318 on South Carolina\u2019s Santee Cooper Lakes. The event, hosted by the Town of Santee and Santee Cooper Country, launched from the John C. Land Ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Morgans delivered an outstanding three-day performance, weighing in a total of 69.21 pounds. Their standout effort came on Day 2, when they brought over 31 pounds to the scales\u2014giving them such a commanding lead that they didn\u2019t need to weigh a single bass on the final day to secure the title of Team Series National Champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPractice was tough for us\u2014we only got one decent bite the day before the tournament and decided to run with it,\u201d they said. \u201cMost of our fish came out of the grass on a 3\/4 oz chatterbait. That\u2019s how we caught the big bag on Day 2, in just a couple of hours. On Day 3, we stayed in the same area and made a slight adjustment to fill our limit. For never having fished here before, it was a blast!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing second was the team of Augustus Adcock and Caleb Bennett with a three-day total of 49.20 pounds. \u201cPractice went well, but the bite slowed down a lot during the tournament,\u201d they shared. \u201cWe were bed fishing with a Tokyo Rig on Days 1 and 2. When that dried up, we switched to new water and fished a topwater frog all day to catch what we brought in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In third place, Ottis Darnell Jr. and Ron Jennings posted a solid 48.87 pounds over three days\u2014an effort that also earned them the coveted Team of the Year title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
