With a predicted threat of thunder showers, the weather for tournament 3 evolved into to be a very pleasant sunny day, yielding only one very short period of rain 15 minutes before the finish. Twenty three of our twenty Six member teams registered for this event. Twenty two teams participated. By most accounts, this was a very difficult event. Only 13 teams were able to catch a 5 fish limit.
Congratulations to the champions of this event, Tommy Kobus and Jason Yu! Their dominating 17.64 pound bag included the tournament lunker 5.06 pound largemouth. The team of Don Kosdemba and Gary Gangi captured second place with an official weight of 16.50 pounds. Taking third place was the team of Larry Bertholdt and Tim Jones with a very nice limit weighing 15.90 pounds. The beautiful tournament lunker smallmouth weighing 4.89 pounds was brought to the scales by the team of Chad Buckland and Rocky Peranio. Congratulations to Tommy, Jason, Don, Gary, Larry, Tim, Chad, and Rocky. This is truly a group of talented anglers.

Twenty four of our twenty Six member teams participated in tournament #2. Tournament 2 was a tough grind for most teams, on this hot summer day!
Congratulations to the team of Dale Davis and Tony Poblett for their well-deserved achievement of tournament champions. Their 5 fish limit weighed 13.37 pounds. This included both tournament lunkers! The 5.03 pound tournament lunker largemouth and the tournament lunker smallmouth weighing 4.13 pounds anchored their champion’s bag. This fantastic performance, and win on such a tough day makes quite a statement about the skills of this team. Well done!
The team of Mike Atwood and Chris Lang captured 2nd place with an impressive 12.94 pounds. Mike and Chris had far more action than most teams during this tough tournament, catching keeper sized fish throughout the entire day. Great job Mike and Chris.
In close pursuit, the team of Larry Bertholdt and Tim Jones took third place honors with 12.34 pounds. Larry and Tim’s bag was anchored by the second largest largemouth of the day. Congratulations!
