A beautiful day awaited the two teams that participated in the 2011 Team Invitational Tournament at the Main Injector on Friday.  The weather and the fishing heated up with 27 fish caught and all anglers landing at least one fish over two pounds.  Despite a last minute run by Ron, the newly formed Fish Leadership Team of Steve and Tomski managed to hold off the defending champion Bass Assassins.  Here's the final score sheet.
