The event began at safe light, which was 5:55 am. Weigh in was conducted at 3:15 pm. This Livingston Saturday Series after all 9 events will provide the Team Anglers of the year with free entries to all 2010 Livingston Saturday Series events.

Anglers Quest will take a special Top 5 group of teams from each A/Q series to the "Tournament of Champions" to be held on November 14-15 on Lake Bob Sandlin and will have a great payout as normal. All Anglers Quest Championships include Calcutta auctions which builds the Championship purse to some very nice $$ to fish for, for a very small entry fee of $155.00 per team.
