On a beautiful Sunday, September 18th Jake Donahoe would win his first tourney as part of the Butler County Bassmasters club. He would finish with 4 bass weighing 6.77lbs and would also take big bass honors with a 2.03lb largemouth. Andy Tobe would take second place with 2 weighing in at 2.43lbs. Rounding out the top 3 Josh Zeller would weigh in 2 fish for 2.34lbs.
On a very warm day in August and what turned out to be a very tough bite Ernie Shuler was trying to catch up from a rough start to the season. He went out and not only won the tourney at Tanners he also took Big Bass honors with a 4.17lb largemouth he landed near the end of the tournament. Jake Donahoe would take 2nd place with 2.88lbs and Tony Vieson would take 3rd with 1.15lbs. Only 7 fish were weighed in for a total of 10.58lbs.
Due to the weather and river levels the tournament directors moved the tournament at Brush Creek on the river to the alternate lake which is Rocky Fork.
Andy Tobe would take the win with a 5 fish limit weighing 7.28lbs. Ernie Shuler would come in 2nd weighing 6.58lbs. The other big news was Steve Travis has taken over the Big Bass lead for the club landing a big bass weighing in at 4.90lbs.
Updated AOY Standings – Hopefully this looks better!
Alright club members I have finally caught up and I believe we have everything moving in the right direction minus pics which I am still trying to get. I have deleted the past couple of posts in order not to clutter up the web page any more than it already is… Please take a look and let me know if you see anything out of line. Everything is updated through our last tourney at Rocky Fork.
After coming close a number of years 2021 would turn out to be Andy’s year! He carried a strong start of the season all the way through the finale. Andy had a strong finish at both Lake Laramie as well as the two day tourney at Indian / St. Marys that would put him in the lead for good. Andy would weighed 3 fish in the last tourney of the season to hold off Ernie Shuler and secure the coveted AOY title. Congratulations to Andy Tobe on a great season!!!
On a very cold brisk November morning the club would fish the last tourney of the 2021 season at Rocky Fork Lake. Ernie Shuler would find a limit of 5 bass weighing 7.06lbs to take the win. Andy Tobe would weigh in 3 fish weighing 3.70lbs to place second at the tournament and secure his first AOY title. Steve Travis would round out the top three with 2 fish weighing 2.30lbs.
With one tournament left in our season a couple of anglers will need big bags to catch our AOY leader Andy Tobe!
