Prettyboy Reservoir 9/13/15 Results

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 09/14/2015 - 04:25

A windy day was just what the doctor ordered for several of the teams at our Prettyboy tournament. This tournament yielded some very nice bags and an MRA all-time Record! The team of Gordon and Wolfe claimed the top prize with an impressive weight of 21.09 Lbs. This elevated Craig and Holden into the lead for AOY points, with only 1 regular season event remaining. Second place honors went to the team of Anderson and Wolfe with a 19.67 LB limit. Close behind with 19.60 LBS, was the team of Malinowski and Smith, who claimed third place and also grabbed the Lunker Smallmouth prize with a beautiful 3.43 LB Prettyboy smallie. The Lunker Largemouth, and new MRA largest fish record, was caught by Max Marchant of the team of Marchant and Marchant (fishing with substitute Dale Davis). The 6.64 LB largemouth is Max’s lifetime personal best Largemouth.
Congratulations to Craig, Holden, Waino, Ron, Mel, Brian, Max and Dale!

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.

Running the Table

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 08/31/2015 - 09:18

It is unusual for results of tournaments held by groups other than MRA to be posted on our site. However, the results at EBAs Prettyboy Reservoir tournament on 8/30/15, truly deserve a mention. Four of the top five finishers in the 28 team field included Metro Reservoir Angler members. Chad Wisner, who partners on the team of Wisner & Onheiser at EBA, took 1st place. This is Chad's 5th first place of the year! The team of Anderson and Wolf took 2nd place, The team of Barger & Cleary took 4th place and the team of Ghangi & Kosdemba took 5th place. Note: there are only 6 MRA teams that participate in EBA. This speaks volumes about the talent that these MRA teams possess. Congratulations to all of these teams. Its an honor and privilege to compete with all of you.

Liberty 8/22/15 Tournament 4 Results

Submitted by tcgordon on Sun, 08/23/2015 - 19:11

There weren't many surprises at the fourth Metro Reservoir Anglers, Inc. tournament of the year Saturday, August 22nd at Liberty Reservoir. The same three teams placed in the money just as they did in the first Liberty tournament this year. Again, 1st place went to the team of Chad and Lenny Wisner with 22.95 lbs. This win came by a dramatic finish with each of them catching an approximate 3.5 lb fish in the waning moments in the boat ramp area providing a huge upgrade. (For those keeping track, Chad and partners have won all tournaments on Liberty this year: 2 MRA tournaments, 1 EBA, and the Weekday Warrior Open.)

Second place went to the team of Don Kosdemba and Gary Gangi with 21.79 lbs. Taking third was the team of Matt Elliott and Victor Rini with 21.02 lbs. In all there were 5 bags with over 20 lbs. which is very impressive for any August tournament on any of our 3 lakes and especially given the bluebird, relatively calm day.

Congratulations to all the winning teams. See the Tournaments page for complete results and updated Anglers Of The Year standings - a race which is tightening up.

Loch Raven Reservoir Tournament Results.

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 08/03/2015 - 07:10

Loch Raven Reservoir Saturday August 1st:
The weigh-in at MRA’s 3rd (regular season) tournament of the 2015 season provided an interesting blend of big bass and a small numbers of 8-fish limits. 8 Lunkers over four pounds, (two over 5 pounds), displayed no lack of quality in the bass brought to the scales. However, only 8 teams were able to bring a limit of bass to the scales. The 96 fish weighed-in averaged a healthy 2.48 Lbs. Congratulations to the team of Craig Gordon and Holden Wolfe for their first place finish with an impressive total weight of 26.89 Lbs. Second place was claimed by Mike Atwood and Jess Weeks with a healthy 21.46 pound limit of Loch Raven Largemouth bass. Very close behind in third place was the team of Bob Standiford and Brian McQuaid with 21.17 Lbs. The Largemouth Lunker prize went to Bob Standiford and Brian McQuaid for their beautiful 5.09 Lb beast. There were no smallmouth bass brought to the scales.
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.

See complete results.
