Rounding
out the top 4 was John Buck with his 4 fish weighing in at 3.68. They may have been small fish but good enough
to get in the money. Seems like this
tournament you had to catch at least 4 fish to get paid. Congratulations

Jeremy Burkart Jeremy
is an active duty Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer currently teaching school at Cory
Station. Jeremy fished with Mack Cramer
and would of took Second place with his two fish caught weighing 6.32
pounds. This was his big fish of the day
weighing 4.9 pounds. Good job Jeremy but
you are not supposed to show us up on your guest tournament. Sponsored by Brian McCarthy.
Marion Johnson Marion
is sponsored by his neighbor Frank Kelly but we will try not to hold it against
him as you really can’t pick your neighbors.
Marion is new to Bass Fishing and is eager to learn what the club can
teach him. This tournament he was taught
patience and how to be a good sport when you don’t catch fish. Although I think we were all humbled just a
little bit by Mack’s 12 pound limit on Escambia River. January Meeting: January Tournament Tournament Site:
