Record Breaking Weekday Warrior!

Submitted by wmarchant on Sat, 09/05/2015 - 08:11

The Loch Raven Weekday Warrior tournament was, by all accounts, a record breaker. Incredibly, the top 5 teams brought a cumulative weight of 133.05 LBs of Loch Raven Largemouth bass to the scales! Leading the group was the team of Ghangi and Kosdemba, who took first place with 30.52 Lbs. This was the biggest tournament bag recorded by this team which has been a longtime Loch Raven standout. In second place was the team of Wisner and Onheiser with 26.76 Lbs. Wisner and Onheiser won the lunker prize with a 6.10 Lb. largemouth. Close behind, in third place, was the team of Eaton and Holmes, with 26.49 Lbs. In fourth place was the team of Elliott and Rini, with 24.76 Lbs. The fifth largest bag was weighed by the team of Decote and Floyd. This bag weighed an impressive 24.52 Lbs. Finally, every bass that was brought to the scales was returned to the reservoir alive and well. Congratulations to these teams for their stellar performances. Thanks to all of the participants.

Congratulations to Craig, Holden, Mike, Jess, Bob, and Brian for a great effort!
A special note of thanks goes out to Mike Ahfeldt and Shane Lawson for a great demonstration of sportsmanship. Mike and Shane towed Larry Barger and Cliff Cleary 4 miles back to the ramp, after Larry’s engine failed early in the day.
Finally, fish care was very good on this hot day. 94 of the 96 bass weighed-in were released into Loch Raven alive and well.
Thanks again to everyone who assisted with morning sign-in and with the afternoon weigh-in.
We hope to see everyone at the Weekday Warrior tournament at Prettyboy on Wednesday 8/12/15.

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 07/13/2015 - 11:46

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!
Thanks again to everyone who assisted with morning sign-in and with the afternoon weigh in. Don, thanks again for doing the livewell checks. This really is a team effort.
