With one tournament left in our season a couple of anglers will need big bags to catch our AOY leader Andy Tobe!

With some rain, wind and cold temps the Butler County Bassmasters would weigh in 11 bass over two days for a total weight of 13.73lbs. Ernie Schuler would come out on top with 5.06lbs and take big bass. Bob Farmer would place 2nd with 3.62lbs and Bill Schneider would round out the top three with 2.40lbs. Some tough fishing with the weather but another great trip for the group.

Andy Tobe still remains at the top of the AOY standings as we gear up for our annual Fish-Off  being held at Cumberland in mid-October. There were some slight movements in the standings below Andy however we still have a lot of ground to make up if anyone wants to catch him with only two tourneys to go in this season.

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.
