Down by more than four pounds going into the final round, Byron Velvick of Henderson weighed in a heavy limit to capture the $50,000 top prize, with a 35.30 pound total, to edge out John Murray’s 34.67 pounds. Walter Apple of San Jose took the big bass prize of a fully-rigged Ranger boat with a 5.51-pound largemouth. It was the second $50,000 win for Velvick, who won the Western Outdoors Open here in 1990.
