First Tourney of 2018 is in the Books!

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 06/25/2018 - 06:56

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!

First Tourney of the Year

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 06/18/2018 - 08:08

On Saturday 6/23 we will have our first tournament of the year. Liberty Reservoir is the location. Note: the last day that you may pre-fish is Tuesday 6/19. Be sure not to be on the reservoir or fish it from shore after that date, and before the tournament. All participants must be present at the launch area, have registered for any lunker pools, drawn their starting position number and have their boat prepared to launch by 6:00 a.m. Late boats “blast off” 30 seconds after the last wave of boats that were randomly drawn. Any boat not launched prior to 6:30 a.m. is disqualified.
We're looking forward to a great 2018 tournament season!

A New Year, a New challenge!

Submitted by Bstandiford on Sun, 01/07/2018 - 10:10

With the new year and new 5 fish limit brings new strategies to my tournament plan. I typically fish grass in the morning to possibly get a quick limit ( hahaha) then move to areas where I can upgrade my catch! Again insert laugh here! This year to me,scouting big fish areas as well as trusting my electronics to see the fish and catch those fish! Also do I just slow down and fish an area more thoroughly. I can also run farther where typically the better fish are caught! It is easier to catch 5 than 8 right? Lol. I look forward to adapting to the changes of this season! The old saying “Lead, Follow or get out of the way” I only like the first option! I hope everyone has a great and safe new year!!

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.

Icebreaker Tourney Broke Multiple Records!

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 12/04/2017 - 06:11

Baltimore Metro Reservoir Anglers' Icebreaker tournament held at Liberty Reservoir on 12/3/17 was a record breaker. Thirty seven anglers and 22 boats participated in our largest field in the history of this annual open event. Dale Davis (the Lunker Master) dominated the event with a monster, event record, 7.38 pound largemouth bass. This is Dale’s second tournament bass over seven pounds this season. Congratulations to Dale for his extraordinary catch, on a day that most anglers struggled to catch a bass over 2 pounds.
This ends our events for the season. Thanks to everyone who has helped to make 2017 a great tournament season. Our great appreciation goes to our sponsor Anglers Express, for their continued support. http://www.anglersexpress.com/

Wisner and Wisner 2017 TOC Champions!

Submitted by wmarchant on Fri, 10/27/2017 - 11:09

The team of Chad and Leonard Wisner captured the 2017 Tournament of Champions victory after two tough days of fishing on Loch Raven Reservoir. Their two day total of 38.19 LBS (with two 8-fish limits) was a dominating performance. The team of Matt Elliott and Victor Rini made a charge on day 2 and captured second place with a total of 30.37 LBS. BMRA's top ten teams during the 2017 season all agreed that the fishing was especially hard in this event, with only the champions filling their limit on both days. Mike Atwood and Rob Bertazon won the 1st day largemouth lunker award with a 4.26 LB Largemouth. Craig Gordon and Holden Wolfe captured the Day 1 Smallmouth lunker with a 1.88 LB Smallie. Kevin Hollasch and Jon Miller won the Largemouth Lunker on day 2 with a 4.27 LB Largemouth.
Congratulations to Chad, Lenny, Matt, Vic, Mike, Rob, Craig, Holden, Kevin and Jon. Great job! Congratulations are truly deserved by all competitors. Just fishing in this event means that the team has been able to perform consistently well through the entire season.

5 Fish Limit has been adopted beginning 2018

Submitted by wmarchant on Tue, 10/03/2017 - 09:10

Baltimore Metro Reservoir Anglers will be a 5-fish limit tournament club, beginning in 2018. The club vote was a split decision, but it was a decisive decision, in favor of reducing our tournament limit to 5 fish.
As president of the club, I want to be clear that the reason for the rule change is simple: The majority of teams voted in favor of the "industry standard" 5 fish limit. Each team has their own reasons for their vote.
58.82% voted for 5 fish limit and 41.17% voted for an 8 fish limit. This is not an overwhelming margin, but by any measure, a 17.65% margin is considered decisive.
We will remain a team format club. This reduction in limit does not open the door to individual members joining with the intent to fish alone. A basic tenet of our club is, and will remain, the 2-person team concept.
Thanks to all of those who voted. I appreciate the show of good-sportsmanship by those who did not get the outcome they wanted. The show of respect and club consensus was a great thing to see.
