October Tournament:

The October Tournament and Fish Off was held Lay Lake near Clanton Alabama. The club members stayed at the Clanton/Shoney Inn near Clanton and made the extremely rough and bumpy drive each day to the Lower Dam Landing Launch site. 8 boats and 16 member anglers were in the tournament. This was our last tournament of this year. Everyone had a partner this time. No solo boaters.

1st Place
Jeff Weaver
Jeff was one of only two members who caught a limit on both days of the tournament (Marc Churchwell was the other). Jeff
took the first place spot on Saturday with a nice bag of 8.64 pounds and the first place spot again on Sunday with another limit of 12.68 pounds. Jeff ended up in first place with a two day bag of ten fish. His total weight was 21.32 pounds. Jeff said that this was the best he had ever done since he has been in the Pensacola Hawg Hunters. Jeff, this will lock you in as Angler of The Year.
Congratulations !!!!
