Andy Tobe would bring the only 5 bass limit to the scales at Rising Sun on our sixth stop of the 2023 Tourney season. Andy’s 5 bass weighed 4.35lbs and would be enough for the win. Josh Zehler would come in second place weighing 3.90lbs and would also take big bass with a 1.85lb largemouth. Rounding out the top three would be Matt Townsley with 3 bass weighing 3.26lbs. Congrats to all!

On an overcast day on the river the fishing was tough. There were no limits caught and several club members did not weight in a fish. However, there were a few guys that found some fish. Pokie (Kenneth Reatherford) found 4 fish to weigh in for 5.12lbs and took first place for his first win in the club! Congrats Pokie! Herman Baker (a new club member) weighed in 3 fish for 4.35lbs and would take second place. Herman would also take big bass with a 2.75lb largemouth. Congrats Herman! And rounding out the top 3 spots would be Darrell Penny weighing in 2 fish for 2.57lbs. Congrats to all who weighed in fish!

There has been a bit of a shake up in the angler of the year standings. Below are the standings as of Summit Lake.

The BCB would fish a new lake on June 18th as part of the 2023 tourney season.  An idle only lake in Indiana. Bill Schneider would pull out the win with 4 fish weighing 9.88lbs. Coming in a very close second would be Josh Zehler weighing in 5 bass for 9.55lbs. Rounding out the top three would be Darrell Penny weighing in 2 fish for 6.09lbs. Darrell would also have big bass weighing 4.23lbs.

On May 7th the Club hit Brookville for the third tourney of the 2023 season. What they found when they woke up was rain! And more rain on the drive over and more rain as they fished. Rain, rain, rain… Andy Tobe would figure it out catching 4 bass weighing 6.32lbs and taking the win! Bob Farmer would bring 2 bass to the scale weighing 3.50lbs. Rounding out the top 3 Bill Schneider would finish third with 1 bass weighing 2.29lbs and taking Big Bass honors as well. Congratulations to all who braved the elements!
