Congratulations to Chuck Branscum and Mike Anschultz. While many boats brought limits to the scales, Chuck and Mike succeeded in bringing the largest sack of all. Their 13.80 lbs of bass narrowly beat Marvin Ross and Raymond Bradley's 13.77 lbs. Third place went to Brandon Cook and Nick Drake. In another very close battle, they were able to clip Blake Anschultz and Doug Cockrill by .02 lbs (11.66 to 11.64). The big bass was brought in by Chris Clark and Mark Watson. They had a very nice bass that went 4.80 lbs. Congratulations to all of the winners above!

I want to again thank everybody for being patient and allowing this to turn into such a good tournament. We have a great group of guys in our club and that showed today with everybody being willing to work with the organization of all the traffic. I was surprised at how many boats we had, but that is great! I had planned to post all of the pictures that were taken today, but apparently some of them were lost (had to change batteries). Luckily, I think we have pictures of all of the winners. So if you got your picture taken and it isn't on the site, I apologize. I plan to post pictures in the next day or two and hopefully will update the AOY standings soon too.

Thank you all for coming out again and I look forward to seeing you all on July 24th.

Hurricane Tournament

The Hurricane tournament will take place this coming Saturday (July 10). We will leave Mitchell's Corner at 5:30 so please try to be there at 5:15. We will have the weigh-in at 12:00. River fishing is off limits and Hackelton is off limits as well. Please give me a call if you have any questions (512-9400). Also remember that there is no pre-fishing allowed on Thursday or Friday. If you talk to anybody, please let them know that we will be leaving Mitchell's Corner at 5:30. Look forward to seeing you there.

Updated AOY standings

After the Morgan Point tournament, I informed a couple of people incorrectly about one of our rules about place points. I came back home and looked it up and have updated the AOY standings. The rule in question is about third place. If there are only 19 people fishing in a tournament we only pay 2 places (monetarily). I thought that that meant that we didn't award place points for that either. The rules said otherwise. We reward place points for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Big bass for each tournament regardless of how many boats (or people) there are. So here are the current AOY standings:

1---121.69---Kieffner/Keedy
2---94.30---Ross/Bradley
3---77.87---Gates/Nicky and Fuzzy
4---57.27---Rob/Ratt
5---46.05---Brand/Watson
6---44.83---Warren/Coe
7---41.49---Lewis/Roddy
8---33.61---Anschultz/Cockrill
9---31.02---Clairday/Denney
10--22.55---Reed/Robertson

Congratulations to Marvin Ross and Raymond Bradley. They survived the triple digit heat and brought 5 nice bass to the weigh-in. Their 10 pound sack was aided by a near 5 pound largemouth that put them over the top. Second place went to Brad Lewis and Dustin Roddy. They brought over 7 pounds in to help them secure second in front of Mike Warren and Chuck Coe. Mike and Chuck were able to land 6 pounds of fish. The fishing was very difficult due to the rising water from the Arkansas River and the terrible heat.

Morgan's Point Tournament and AOY standings

Well, I hope everyone is ready for the longest trip of the year. Due to the length of the trip, I would like to know who all plans to fish this tournament. I would appreciate you calling me in the next couple of days if you are planning on going. (870-512-9400)

I have talked to some of you , but I just can't tell how many boats we are going to have yet. I think we will have a decent crowd.
