A mid September tourney on the Ohio River would see Ernie Shuler take the win at White Oak finishing with 4 bass for a total weight of 5.49lbs. Bill Schneider would finish second with 3 bass for 4.13lbs and rounding out the top three Rick Hensler would finish with 2 bass for 3.70lbs. Bob Farmer would take the Big Bass honors with a nice largemouth weighing in at 3.17lbs.
On a very hot day in early August and at a brand new lake for the club this year only three fish would be weighed in at Bischoff Reservoir. While most club members caught lots of bass finding a 14″ keeper proved to be a very difficult task. Rick Hensler would take the win and big bass with a 1.43lb largemouth while Tony Vieson would take 2nd place with a 1.36lb largemouth. Herb Jones would round out the top three with a 1.35lb largemouth.
On July 11th the BCB held its club tourney at Tanners Creek. We have had a lot of rain leading up to this tourney on the river and was not sure if we would be fishing the river or one of our back up lakes. As it turns out the weather held out with only about a half hour of a solid downpour mid morning with a few sprinkles on and off all day. Rick Hensler would find four bass weighing 6.08 lbs with the last bass landed with less than 5 minutes to go near the ramp. Jake Donahoe would land three fish for 4.85 lbs and take 2nd place. Bill Schneider would round out the top three with four bass weighing 4.75 lbs. Bob Farmer would take BIG BASS with a nice largemouth weighing in at 2.71 lbs.
Andy Tobe continues to lead the AOY standings.
On a bit of a warm day Bob Farmer took the win at Rocky Fork Lake posting a 5 fish limit worth 7.53 lbs. He would also take the Big Bass honors with a 2.55 lb largemouth. Rick Hensler would finish 2nd behind Bob with a 5 fish limit weighing in at 6.14 lbs. Jake Donahoe would finish 3rd posting a 5 fish limit weighing 4.85 lbs. Capping off the hot day was a down pour right after we pulled the boats out and started weighing in.
No pictures were taken due to the down pour during weigh – in.
The third tournament of the season once again belongs to Andy Tobe. Andy finished day 1 at Indian Lake weighing in 3 fish for 4.34lbs taking an early lead. Steve Travis would weigh in 3 fish for 4.15lbs to finish 2nd on day 1. Day 2 would be held at Grand Lake St. Marys. There would be two 5 fish limits weighed in on Sunday. Once again Andy Tobe would lead the pack with a 5 fish limit for 11.98lbs. Danny Schmitz would also weigh in a 5 fish limit for 9.41lbs to finish 2nd. Bill Schneider would finish 3rd on day 2 with 3 fish weighing 4.97. Andy Tobe would land big bass on day 1 weighing 1.87lbs and Danny Schmitz would take big bass on day 2 and overall weighing 2.80lbs. Overall results for the two day tourney would have Andy Tobe taking 1st place with 16.32lbs, Danny Schmitz would finish 2nd place with 9.41lbs and Bill Schneider would round out the top 3 with 6.38lbs. Congrats to all who weighed in fish!
