Congratulations to Kenneth Haney and Danny Shedd! Kenneth and Danny were able to fight off the other boats and weather the storm to come to the ramp with 5 nice bass that weighed 12.82 lbs. Their largest bass was just over 3 lbs. Congrats also goes to Marc Keton and James Copeland as they were narrowly beaten by Haney and Shedd. Nicky and Fuzzy Gates continued their run for the AOY points lead with a third place finish.
The weather and crowd made this tournament a little different than others, but we managed to have our largest field of the year and best results as well. We had only two boats that were unable to weigh fish, but it sounds like there were a lot of fish caught out of Greers Ferry Lake again. I plan to post pics in the next few days, and I will update the AOY standings later in the week.

I owe an apology to Mr. Dwight (not Dewight) Jackson since I have spelled his name wrong so many times on the website. I was informed that he just goes by "Rat"!

Thanks again for the wonderful participation. One thing that I asked everyone to do at our meeting in February was to get the word out and try to build membership. So far things are going great. The level of interest in our club is great! I have received numerous calls about our club. Many of them are just questions, but some have been wonderful ideas that have helped our tournaments. We will continue to strive to make this the best bass club that it can be. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks
BK
