Cedar Creek Lake is managed by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources as a “big fish” lake, maintaining a 20-inch size limit. Several bass were caught just under the limit so the results came down to the number of 12 inches or larger bass caught. The winners were Matt Brown and Jeremy Elliott from Corbin High School in Corbin, Ky., with eight fish. The runners-up were Corey Skaggs and Tyler Bohannon from Jefferson County High School Club in Louisville, Ky., with four fish. The Brown/Elliot team caught their fish on wacky-rigged stickbaits and Skaggs/Bohannon caught their fish using several different methods.
Both teams received automatic bids to the 2014 B.A.S.S. High School National Championship.
