tournament news

An ominous forecast gave way to a surprisingly pleasant day of competition at Liberty reservoir. There were none of the predicted thunderstorms and very little rain to start the season. Twenty three of our 25 teams participated in the event. Congratulations to the tourney champions, Dale Davis and Tony Poblett, for their excellent 5-fish limit weighing 16.34 Lbs. Second place was captured by the team of Eric Holmes (owner of world renowned Anglers Express) and tourney partner Jason Eaton, with another solid 5-fish bag weighing 15.94 Lbs. Close behind grabbing third place honors was the father and son team of Rubin Holbrook and David Holbrook, (one of our new teams this season), with 15.65 Lbs. The Smallmouth lunker award was won by the father and son team of Carl Devor and Darren Devor, with a beautiful 2.84 Lb. Smallmouth. The Lunker largemouth prize was won by yet another father and son team, Walt Marchant and Max Marchant, with a 5.55 Lb. Largemouth. Congratulations to all of these winners. Thanks to all of our teams for excellent fish care. 105 fish were weighed in 104 of those fish were alive and in great shape when returned to the reservoir. Thanks go out to Holden Wolfe, Bobby Standiford, Matt Elliott, and Max Marchant for all of the help in tourney preparations, check-in and weigh-in. An additional thanks to our sponsor Anglers Express. We truly appreciate the support!

We have received confirmation that Elco Motor Yachts (the founding Sponsor of the Electric Bass Angling National Championship) will again participate as a major sponsor of EBANC in 2018. Baltimore Metro Reservoir Anglers (Metro), will again be the host club for this national competition, and our President will again be the EBANC Tournament Director. The 2017 EBANC was a great start to what will certainly grow into an even larger event for electric bass anglers in 2018. Our goal is to attract more clubs and sponsors throughout the U.S. to take part in this event.  EBANC celebrates the skills and achievements of the Electric Bass Angling community. Our club has several openings for new members in our annual tournament series. Everyone who competes in our club will automatically be included in the National Championship.
We look forward to a fantastic 2018 season!!!!
