We kicked off our year at Bull Shoals and this being the first time our club has been there we were met with some pretty tough conditions.  The weather slapped us with a 25 degree blast off and didnt allow for much of a warm-up throughout the day; however, there were some nice sacks of fish brought to the scales.  First place winners Andy Latting and BJ Green brought in a little under 15 pounds to take the win, followed closely by the father son duo of Blake and Mike Anschultz.  Third went to Michael Bruner and Tony Gore who also brought in some brown sugar for the big bass of the tournament.  A scale tipping 4.32 lb small mouth, which dating back is the largest small jaw weighed in club history.  Fourth was Jason Rath and Chad day and fifth place went to Bob Hardin and Sawyer Floyd.  Thanks for everyone coming out to face the tough weather and congratulations to the top 5!

Our next showing will be at Old Town lake on March 4th.  I will post more about this closer to the time of the tournament.  If anyone has any sponsorship opportunities I need to get these done so we can start the t-shirt design hopefully by mid April-May.
