A father and son duo won the Selma City Open Bass Tournament last weekend on the Selma Marina.

The team of Mark and Justin Mott took first place and won a prize of $1,500, catching 16.57 pounds of bass.

“I love to fish with my dad, it’s even better when we are fortunate enough to win,” Justin Mott said. “This was a great event and I really enjoyed getting to see some friends that I haven’t seen in a long time.”
