North DeSoto High fishermen Nicholas Hunt and Colton Moore won the high school tournament on Caddo Lake this past weekend.

The pair bagged 16.2 pounds of bass with five fish, including an 8.82 whopper that registered as the second-biggest bass of the tournament.

“(Nicholas’) dad said, ‘Hey, I got a spot,’” Moore said in a KTBS interview. “Ok, let’s go to it. It worked out for us today.”

The duo earned 200 points in the North Louisiana High School Fishing League in the second event of the season.

The event consisted of 87 boats, 70 of which registered qualifying fish.

As a team, North DeSoto finished a few pounds out of the lead as Captain Shreve won the tournament.

Other North DeSoto pairs that finished in the Top 20 included Grayson Rayford and Tripp Rogers (18th, 8.02) and Conner Roberts and Brian McMillian (19th, 7.64).

The next event is March 16 on Caney Lake.
