Minutes of the Meeting: The
December meeting of the Pensacola Hawg Hunters was brought to order at 7:00
P.M by our President John Buck. We had 24 members present each
earning 2 points towards the Angler of the Year title. We even
had a visit from Pete Potter one of our Lifetime members who will be
moving back into the area just to fish with us. Old Business: The first thing our new President John did was throw the meeting back over to the old President Jeff who shared a little humor with us. Seems like we are a club truly stuck in the old ways and resilient to change. The minutes of last month was read and accepted by the membership. The
treasury report was also read and accepted by the membership. Booray Report: No one won it last month so it increases by $42 for the next month. until someone catches the largest fish over 5 pounds in a club tournament. See Bill Myrick for details. 50/50 draw was conduct and won by Rick Howard who we haven't seen in a couple of months. Hopefully he doesn't just take our money and run. Hope to see Rick again next month and maybe even fish with us. Annual Year End Banquet Our annual
year end Click Here for Photos of Awards Banquet 2014 AOY 2014 Big Fish of the Year New Business: Our "local politician" Bill Myrick reported that they are going to be removing the log jam on the Escambia river within the next 90 days. He also reported that the Perdido River system will be getting a new boat ramp by 1 June. For more details contact Bill. Pete Potter reported that Lake Mitchell's docks are being extended. The Co-Angler race seems to be getting a lot of attention as the club voted to have their pictures added to the standings page. Now all you have to do is make sure you get your photo taken at the tournaments. Jim Bailey said he has updated the tide tables over on his web page. Check them out at www.hook1.com If you believe you have an idea that will improve the club then get you voice heard by talking to an E-board member. Payouts for the November tournament were handed out to the top four places last month and then the draw was conducted for the December tournament.
The
Meeting was adjourned at 7:43 pm.
From the tournament Director: December's birthday boy was Jim Bailey. Mack congratulated us on our current zero dead fish tally for the November tournament. We need to keep it up and take care of our fish. For those of you who are past the 65 year old Birthday milestone all you need is proof via a driver's license to be able to fish in Florida waters. No fishing license required. Florida has a 5 fish 12 inch limit...so be sure to not bring in any short fish as this would be a violation of the State law and grounds for disqualification. Insurance forms are to be given to the Asst. Tournament Director. Remember if you want to use your boat in a tournament you have to have a current insurance form on file with the club. Party! Everyone is invited to Mack's Annual Extravaganza on Super Bowl Sunday which takes place on February 1st this year. Make sure you RSVP to Mack if you intend on joining this fun time. Even if you aren't interested in Football....there is plenty of entertainment and food to go around. January Birthday Boys Marion Johnson Jere Jaillite Kevin Simmons Jeff Weaver |
Tournament Results:
1st Place Mack Cramer Mack, fishing out of his little boat, brought in one fish short of a limit but it was good enough to take the top spot. His 4 fish tipped the scales at 6.34 pounds anchored by a Big Fish Whopper of 2.37 pounds. Little tid-bit....Mack has finished in the 1st or 2nd place position at Escambia River in the last 5 years we have fished there. Summer or Winter. Great Job Mack! Congrats Mack!
Jeff was also 1 short of a limit but that didn't stop him from taking 2nd place honors. His 4 fish weighed in at 3.81 pounds for a less than a 1 pound average. But hey...he's in second and your not! Great Job Jeff! Congrats Jeff!
Cliff managed to have a better average than Jeff but he was only able to find 3 keepers to bring to the scales. His 3 fish weighed in at 3 pounds for a 3 place finish. 3/3/3 for Cliff. Still 2 more fish than the rest of us. Great job Cliff! Congrats Cliff!
Great Job! Congratulations John!

AOY Analysis With the December tournament under our belts we find that we have our first change in the leader board for the AOY race. Mack who was in 5th place last month jumps all the way up to first place this month with 38 points. Just 4 points behind him is Cliff Armstrong who jumped from 7th to 2nd. Dropping down one slot is Dave Bock to 3rd just .5 points behind. 4th is being held by our new Co-Angler of the Year points leader Matt Brown. He maintained his position in the standings from last month but Bill Myrick, also a Co-Angler dropped one slot to 5th. Rounding out the top 6 we have Don Jahnke who jumps up from 10th last month to 6th this month. CO-AOY Analysis After our 2nd tournament we also find a new Co-Angler of the Year points leader in Matt Brown. His 7th place finish jumped him up over Bill's 14th place finish causing Bill to drop to 2nd in the Co-Angler standings. Bringing home the Bronze...3rd place standing is Dave Dyess. Slammer Nominee's If it hadn't been for Jere Jaillite's quick thinking and keen eyesight we could of had a slammer nominee this month. Dave Bock was rolling out after hearing his name called for blast off when Jere yelled "Dave don't forget to raise your trolling motor!" Thanks Jere! Yellow Ball Winner! Yep,
we had another back to back month with someone drawing out
the Yellow Ball. This time the money goes to Dave Dyess.
Congrats Dave....although you left the rest of us feeling cheated
out of our turn to try. Tournament
