Congratulations go out to Andy Tobe for his 3rd AOY in a row! This one was as close as it could be with Bill Schneider finishing 2nd just.01 behind Andy Tobe. Josh Zeller would hold off Ernie Shuler for third place in the AOY race. Congrats to all!

On November 5th the club fished the last tournament of the season at Bischoff Lake. There would only be 5 bass weighed in and Ernie Shuler would account for 3 largemouth bass of the 5 with a weight of 5.55lbs to take the win! Ron Marcum would weigh in a nice largemouth at 4.43lbs to take second place and big bass for the tournament. Rounding out the top three Steve Travis would also weigh in a very nice largemouth at 4.27lbs. Congrats to all three of you for catching nice bass.

With this last tourney at East Fork the lead for Andy Tobe really tightened up with Bill Schneider just .01 behind. Josh Zehler just under 3lbs behind the leader is in the hunt as well so good luck to everyone at Bischoff.

Started out a bit chilly on October 21st but would warm up for a pretty nice day! There was a total of 18 fish caught for a total of 24.50lbs. Tony Vieson would account for the most weighing in 6.86lbs of bass which would include big bass weighing 3.02lbs. Congrats Tony on your win and big bass. Steve Travis would bring 3 bass to the scales weighing 4.51lbs taking 2nd place. Good job Steve. Rounding out the top 3 would be Bob Farmer weighing in 3 fish for 3.46lbs. Good job Mr. Farmer. Congrats to all those who weighed fish and those who participated.

The Butler County Bassmasters club hold a fish-off every year that consists of a two day tournament. Because the club had such a good time last year at the fish-off we voted in The Green River again this year. We had a great time and caught some fish. Ernie Shuler would take the win weighing in 4 bass for 8.25lbs which also included the overall Big Bass of 4.25lbs. Congrats to Ernie on the win. Andy Tobe would weigh in 6 bass weighing 7.62lbs to take second place. Nice job Andy! Rounding out the top 3 Herman Baker weighed in 3 bass for 4.93lbs. Good job Herman! Due to Ernie wanting to keep the sure money he did not want to let his big fish ride for day 2 which gave the group another chance to catch a big bass. Bob Farmer would take the day 2 big bass weighing one in at 3.42lbs to win a little money! Good job Mr. Farmer! Another great Fish-Off and everyone had a great time. Lots of food and stories!

On a very strange day at Tanners Creek where no one in the club would weigh in more than 1 fish Herman Baker found the biggest to win the event. Herman weighed in 1 nice largemouth that obviously would also take big bass at 3.15lbs. A very nice river bass.  Josh Zeller also brought a nice largemouth to the scales weighing 2.58lbs and would take second place. Bob Farmer would round out the top three with a largemouth weighing 1.04lbs.
