Prettyboy Reservoir, the site of event number two of the 2015 season, proved to be a challenge on Sunday 7/12/15. However, the team of Matt Elliott and Victor Rini proved themselves to be more than up to the challenge, taking 1st place with a very impressive limit weighing 20.87 Lbs. Matt and Victor also claimed the Lunker Smallmouth prize with a 2.86 Lb. Prettyboy smallmouth. The team of Rob Bertazon and Ron Broadwater took second place honors with a limit weighing 18.70 Lbs. Rob and Ron also claimed the Lunker Largemouth prize with a 4.62 Lb. largemouth. Third Place honors went to the team of Ron Wolfe and Waino Anderson, with a limit weighing 15.95 Lbs.
With only 6 limits brought to the scales by 23 teams, this ranked as one of our toughest tournaments in recent memory. Congratulations to our top three teams!

I am pleased to report that our first tournament of 2015, which was held at Liberty reservoir on Sunday 6/22, was a great success. Threatening weather forecasts gave way to a great day to be on the water. Congratulations to our top finishers. The team of Chad Wisner and Leonard Wisner took top honors with an impressive bag of fish weighing 28.18 Lbs. Second place went to the team of Matt Elliott and Victor Rini with a total weight of 23.49 Lbs. In third place was the team of Don Kosdemba and Gary Gangi with 20.21 Lbs of Liberty bass. Both lunkers went to the first place team of Chad Wisner and Leonard Wisner, with a 5.03 Lb Largemouth and a 5.02 Lb smallmouth. A remarkable Father's day effort by the father and son team! There were 17 limits caught by the 23 team field.
On another happy note, our new tourney pro scale system functioned flawlessly. This provided the fastest weigh-in in which I have ever taken part.
Thanks to everyone who assisted with morning sign-in and with the weigh in. Don, thanks for doing the livewell checks. This really is a team effort.
