On April 15th the BCB tournament season begun at Lake Laramie. On this particular day Andy Tobe would take the win with 3 bass weighing 6.72lbs anchored by big bass of 3.50lbs. Matt Townsley (new to the club this year) would finish 2nd with 4 bass weighing 5.95lbs. Steve Travis would round out the top 3 with 3 fish weighing 4.72lbs.
For the second year in a row Andy Tobe wins the coveted AOY! With a very strong Fish Off at the Green River he put the necessary distance needed between him and second place to secure the title. Bob Farmer made a late season run with also a strong finish at the Green River Fish off to put the pressure on Andy. At the end of the day Andy’s lead was too much to overcome. Congrats again to Andy for a very good season.
The BCB final tourney of the 2022 season had Ernie Shuler take the win posting 2 nice fish for a total weight of 4.35lbs. Ernie would also take Big Bass at 2.46lbs. Bob Farmer would take second with 2 fish weighing 3.00lbs even. Rick Hensler would round out the top 3 with 2 fish weighing 2.99lbs. And yes you read it right!!! Congrats to the winners. A great season overall and shout out to all who help make this another successful season. I am already looking forward to 2023!
