CELINA-A good field of participants took to the water here at Pleasant Grove Recreation Area the first weekend of the month for two days of fishing during the First Annual Hayes Open, and the anglers didn’t disappoint when it came weigh-in time.

The tournament, recently renamed in honor of well-known local fallen angler James “Cobby” Hayes, was for the past five years formally known as the Dale Hollow Sportsman’s CITGO Harris Oil Fishing Tournament.

The name change was apparently good for fishing, because the top four finishers produced two-day totals exceeding the 20-pound mark, with the champions’ sack pushing nearly 30 pounds.
