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!
AOY updated through April 16th.
On April 16th the BCB would visit St. Mary’s lake for the second tourney of 2023. What they would find is the same typical weather and wind that this lake is famous for. There were a few members that found fish despite the conditions. Bill Schneider would take the win with 4 bass weighing 9.07lbs. Andy Tobe would finish second with 4 bass weighing 6.16lbs. Ernie Shuler would round out the top three with 3 bass weighing 6.04lbs. Ernie would also take big bass weighing 3.15lbs just edging out Bill’s 3.12lb big bass.
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!
