A Just-for-the-Heck-of-It Tournament


Our formal season ended last month, but the tourney director, Wayne Hayes, wanted to see if there perhaps was some interest in getting together for another time or two before wintery-like conditions descend on our area. Toward that end, he called for an open tournament today, in which 14 anglers in seven boats met up and launched at West Neck Marina.

At the 3 p.m. weigh-in, six of the boats brought a total of 28 bass to the scales, weighing a grand total of 59.03 lbs., which breaks down into an average weight per fish of 2.10 lbs. and an average weight per boat of 9.83 lbs.

Those anglers who claimed pay envelopes at day's end were as follows:

1st Place
, the team of (from left) Dustin Alley and Mark Ingram, five fish, 13.20 lbs. total weight, 3.13-lb. big bass.

2nd Place
, the team of (from left) Rob Peppers and Don Carter, five fish, 12.96 lbs. total weight, 4.19-lb. big bass, which also earned them the lunker award.












Here is how everyone else faired in today's competition:
     * The team of Gary Coderre and Dave Anderson, five fish, 10.46 lbs. total weight, 2.80-lb. big bass.
     * The team of Allen Napier and Chris Napier, five fish, 10.40 lbs. total weight, 3.17-lb. big bass.
     * The team of Andy Morath and John Harmon, five fish, 8.06 lbs. total weight, 2.21-lb. big bass.
     * The team of Gabe Himmelwright and Fred Crawford, three fish, 3.95 lbs. total weight, 1.40-lb. big bass.
     * The team of Steve Bailey and Dennis Dean didn't weigh any fish.

As of this writing, there's no way of knowing if there will be any more of these informal tournaments this year. We'll just have to wait and see what the TD decides. Anyone who is interested in having their name and email address added to a list for notices about any such future events is asked to provide that info to yours truly (kenneth34@cox.net).

Tight Lines! to one and all.
