Minutes of the Meeting:

The March meeting of the Pensacola Hawg Hunters was brought to order at 7:00 P.M on Wednesday the 16th of February at Founaris Bros. Greek Restaurant by our President John Buck. We had 23 members present and 3 guests. Carlito brought 2 of his daughters this time. Alania and Alisa. Getting to be quite the family affair. We also had a prospective member Herman Allday.

Old Business:


Minutes from the last meeting was read and accepted.

 The treasury report was read and accepted.


The 50/50 draw was conducted and won by Tony Boyett.

Booray Report: The Booray pot was awarded to Michael Johnson for his 4.44 pound fish he caught at Fish River. So the pot starts over with 23 members paid up to date. The weight also goes up to 4.5lbs in order to win. Not a problem when Lake Seminole is the next tournament on the schedule. See Buddy for details.

A recommendation to have all new prospective members fish with the Tournament Director was brought before the club and a discussion was held. E-board will meet prior to April Meeting to discuss adding the proposal to the SOP.

New Business:

Don't forget you Georgia Fishing License for fishing Lake Seminole.

Dave Dyess volunteered to get the Burgers and Brats for the March Tournament at Lake Seminole.
Thanks Dave!

From the Tournament Director:

Don Jahnke will be acting tournament Director for the Miller's Ferry Tournament in May.

Recommend you bring with you a 100 foot of line/rope at least 1/2" thick in case someone ever needs to pull you off a sandbar.  Even if you don't think it will happen to you at least we can help Lee out on his next occasion.

Payouts were given for the February tournament. Congrats to all those who received a payout!


The draw was conducted for the March tournament.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:46pm.

 Tournament:

The March Tournament was held at Lake Seminole where we had 18 members and 1 guest fishing.  The weather started out overcast with light drizzle before the launch to blue sky's with lots of wind by the Sunday Weigh-in.  I doubt in the history of the club that we have ever had two days of fishing that were ever the same.  He who adapts to the changing weather conditions usually wins the tournamment.  Some of us do great one day then bust the next.   Right Don?  Anyway we had 10 boats for the 2-day tournament.  Call it 11 if you count Mack's boat sitting on the trailed with a bent prop shaft

At the weigh-in in true Seminole fashion we had some Hawgs weigh-in.  Had some Skunks too...and a Catfish!

.....and the winner is......

Tournament Results:



1st Place
Matt Brown

Matt had two great days of fishing.  His first day total of 10.02 pounds coupled with his second day of 13.34 pounds gave him a total weight of 23.36 pounds for his 9 fish.  This is Matt's first 1st place win in our club since joining last season.  Jumps him up from 13th to 9th place on the standings.  Way to go Matt!

 Great Job!

Congrats Matt!



2nd Place
Jeff Weaver

Jeff had a good weekend too.  His 5 fish limit of 9.33 pounds Saturday couple with his 4 fish of 12.59 pounds weighed a total of 21.92 pounds.  Did you know Matt and Jeff fished together all weekend catching over 45 pounds of fish!  Awesome!

Great Job!

Congratulations Jeff!



3rd Place
Don Jahnke

Don wowed us all on Saturday when he weighed in the 4 fish he caught.  The scales moaned and then spit out a whopping 17.08 pounds!  For just 4 fish!   His kicker ...would you beleive was a 8.42 pound Brute!  Everyone thought he was gonna win...but the conditions changed and Don's bite went sour bring in only one fish on Sunday.  But he only slipped two spots to take 3rd over all in the tournament.  

Great Job!

Congratulations Don!


4th Place
Dave Dyess

In 4th is Dave Dyess who brought 8 fish up to the scales over the two day tournament weighing 18.30 pounds.  Dave had a limit on Saturday with a 5.70 pound kicker.  Not the biggest fish of the day but definetly worthy of oh's and ah's by the crowd.

Great Job!

Congratulations Dave!


AOY Analysis

5 tournaments down 7 to go!  Here's the current  shake down of the top six anglers.  On the whole we had 13 advance thier position while 15 members declined.

Still on top but not by much is Mack Cramer.  Last month's 7 point advantage decreased to 3 points this month.  Rumor has it Mack will be missing a tournament in May so someone may have an opportunity to jump ahead.

2nd place is still being held by Jeff Weaver.  Jeff's second place this month did him well.  He now has a commanding 14 point lead over 3rd place.

Jere Jaillite jumps up 2 places from 5th to 3rd after his  5th place finish at Seminole.  Jere was the only one to double limit during the March tournament.  Good job Jere!

Sliding down one slot to 4th place is John Buck just 2 points behind.

Advancing 2 slots from 7th to 5th is Don Jahnke just 1 point behind 4th and 3 points ahead of 6th.

Dropping back 2 slots to our 6th place position is Dave Bock.







CO-AOY Analysis:

We have the same top 3 Co-Anglers as last month just shuffled in positions.  Carlito is in the #1 gold position while Cliff takes over the #2 Silver spot making Jim drop to the #3 Bronze position.  Jim's only 4 points ahead of the rest of the Co-Anglers so it's still anybody's guess as to how it will all fall out at the end of the season.  7 more tournaments to go!


March's  Booray Winner


Don Jahnke
8.42 pounds

Don really brought in a Hawg!  The biggest fish this season and the biggest in his lifetime.  Unfortunately the fish didn't survive the ordeal but now Don gets to mount it for is wall.   Going back through 18 years of electronic records this is Don's 3 showing for Big fish of the year and the biggest one the club has documented.  Can you beat him?  He pushes out Dave Dyess who had a 8.25lb in 2005.

Congrats Don!

Booray Worthy


Mack Cramer
5.94 pounds

Mack took big fish honors on Sunday with this beauty.


Matt Brown
5.73 pounds



Dave Dyess
5.70 pounds



Roger Helm
5.27 pounds



Dave Bock
5.12 pounds

This is Dave's biggest Bass he has ever caught.

Yellow Ball Winner



Pete Potter

Even though we skipped him in the draw Pete showed us all he is a force to be reckoned with by pulling the Yellow Ball. Congrats Pete!

Slammer nominee

On the Slammer nominee side...can you nominate someone for driving his boat outside the clearly marked lanes of Lake Seminole while on plane.  Even if you hit something and bend your prop shaft....sure why not!  I nominate Mack!  But I would also like to mention what a good sport our new prospective member Herman Allday is for trusting Mack to borrow his boat and not do it again.
