tournament news

The last regular season tournament will be tomorrow 10/3 at Loch Raven. Its hard to believe the season has gone so fast. We will have weather to contend with. However the forecast seems to be improving. Check your bilge pumps and rain gear. They will probably get a workout tomorrow.
Just a reminder that everyone needs to weigh-in. The AOY and TOC rankings will be effected, and it is important that everyone weighs their fish tomorrow, (even if its only one 12 inch fish). As always, I look forward to seeing you all on the water. The safety of each team is the responsibility of that team. Make good safe choices so we can have a great tournament.
See you at registration!

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.

Our Final Weekday Warrior tournament of the year will be Friday 9/4/15 at Loch Raven Reservoir. This tournament is open to all (MRA members and NON-members).
