Tournament Results
            COLD! COLD! COLD!
     That is the word to describe February 2010
and the tournament day was no different.
     The day started out with everyone asking just
how dumb we really were for being out in the
weather. I mean it was all of 39 degrees with not
much promise of it getting much warmer.  It was
supposed to be partly cloudy and I guess you
could say that, it was totally overcast until noon
and then the sun came out to warm it up to a high
of 50 degrees, but if you factor in the winds which
were 15 - 30 mph it sure didn't feel any warmer
than when we left the ramp.
     The water was cold, we found the temps to
run from 49 - 53 degrees and I figured all the fish
were snuggled down around their fireplaces
laughing at us.
     A lot of the guys decided it wasn't worth the
trouble and left early, only Gary Thompson came
back to witness the weigh-in. I think it was only to
make fun of the rest of us.
     There were no limits and only one team
caught 4 fish, in fact there were only 18 fish
weighed in. Considering there were only 17
boats fishing it would seem everyone could of
had one fish, but that didn't happen.
     First place went to Butch McKee (our fearless
leader) with his ringer partner Glen Rogers. They
caught 4 fish at 10.64 lbs. and missed big bass
by .04 lbs.
     Second went to Glen Paulson and Mitch
Dees with 3 fish at 9.17 lbs. They also managed
with that weight to take over leaders for the year
by 062 lbs from All year leaders, John Mullis and
Ernie Watson.
     Third place went to newcomers Brian / Scott
Heaberlin. (Sorry Scott no one stated your name
when you were at the ramp, I had heard it a long
time ago. But you can bet I won't forget it  now)
They had 3 fish at 8.45 lbs.
     Fourth went to Jose Denizac / David
Santiago with 2 fish @ 7.03 lbs which include Big
Bass at 4.55 lbs.
     So no one beat Bud Burgess' big bass at
8.64 lbs, he kept that weight from April 09 at
Istokpoga.
     There were some changes made during the
organizational meeting. But Butch explained
some of them and they will be found in the by-
laws and on the calendar.
      Next month is the classic. If you're not sure
you qualified check the YTD standing.  We will
meet at the Winn Dixie on 17-92 across from the
ford dealership at 5 am.
       Come to the meeting, don't forget to let
Butch know if you are going to Istokpoga so you
can get your cabin assignment.
See ya on the Water!
