What a day on Sam Rayburn as the East Region division of Bass Champs wrapped up their 2010 season. Top weights were stacked tight and two Big Bass over 10 pounds were brought in. Partnering for the first time, the Moorhead brothers topped the field to win $20,000.

There was no mercy for nearly 200 teams as the sun beat down on them all day with relentless heat. Nevertheless, eight sacks over 20 pounds were registered at the scales. Timothy and James Griffin brought in the first one, establishing top marks in both overall weight and Big Bass with their 21.28 lb stringer, including their 10.81 kicker. Several other big bass were brought in over the 8 pound mark, but their overall weights held until Brian Seymore and Jay Burford tallied a 22.56 lb sack taking the lead from them. The sweat on their brow could not be measured by the heat alone as Charlie King and Clifford McCarty heaved their creel to the scales, a 22.55 lb limit – missing the leaders by .01 (equal to a few drops of water or a small shad). Soon thereafter Steven and Jason Moorhead brought their limit up the hill in two separate bags. First weighing their biggest, the sow tipped the scales at 10.28 lbs. Adding their other four, their total weight was 25.70 lbs for a dominating win.
