2023 is now complete. An approaching cold front and a rapidly falling Neuse river made conditions tough for the 33 boat field. Weights were low on day one with several boats in contention, but only three boats in the teens. Jason Theis brought in 15.92 on Friday to lead the pack going into day two. Brody Brown and Carl Whittington weighed in the big fish on day one with a 5.80 pound bass. Weights on day two were still low due to tough conditions of an arriving cold front, but some anglers were able to grind it out for a good finish and Jason Theis was able to hold on to his day one lead when he weighed in a second 15 plus pound bag and secure the win. His two day total was 31.41, and his day two bag was anchored by a 6.78 pound bass. Jimbo and Colton Tyndall finished 2nd with 25.43. Eric and Garrett Brown came short of winning two Classics in the same year by finishing 3rd with 24.51. Eric and Garrett had the tournament big fish with a massive 7.73 pound bass.
