The minutes of last months meeting were waived by the membership.

The Booray pot started over for the October Tournament. This time we are looking for a 6 pound Hawg to win in the money.
This month's 50/50 was won by Kevin Simmons.
No new nominations for the E-board were submitted so you are stuck with who we got.

Great job!
The draw for the November Tournament was conducted.
Drawn out were 4 boaters with 4 Co-Anglers for the November Tournament to be held at Miller's Ferry.
Meeting was adjourned 8:44 pm
The November Tournament was held at Miller's Ferry and started out very cool in the morning with a heavy fog over the river. Blast off occurred from the landing instead of the river with only 4 boats carrying 8 club members. It took about 2 hours after official sunrise for the fog to clear because there was no wind and then turned out to be a nice day, If only the fish would of cooperated. Those 8 hearty fishermen only managed to bring back 8 fish totaling 11.81 pounds. Compare that to last year when 19 guys brought back 46 fish for 73.29 pounds I'd say the tournament was a bust. But not for the Top 4! They all had fish!
Big Fish Honors went to John Russell Buck with a 2.35 pound minnow.
Great job guys !

Great job guys !
John Russell is the only Hawg Hunter to maintain the #1 spot we all had at the start of the season. And he did it during a tough tournament. He caught 3 fish weighing in at 4.62 pounds.
Great job!
Congrats John Russell!
Lee is finally knocked down a peg from last years great season.
Only 1 peg though as he finishes Second with 2 fish weighing
3.43 pounds.Great Job!
Congratulations Lee!
Jeff picks up right where he left off last season in Third Place.
Jeff found 2 willing fish to ride with him till the weigh
in. They weighed 2.92 pounds.Great Job!
Congratulations Jeff!
Dave rounds out our top 4 by putting this .84 pound fish in the boat.
In fact it was the only fish caught out of Mack's boat for
the day.This is Dave's first showing in the money slots since joining the club last season.
Great Job!
Congratulations Dave!
Here we go again Mama Mia! Off to the races with another Angler of the Year race beginning with one tournament down. Who will win it this year? Will Lee have back to back wins? Will a Co-Angler take the honors? Will it be You?
To start out the season we have a Co-Angler leading the pack.
John Russell leads us all fresh off his win at Miller's Ferry under tough conditions.
Lee sits just one point behind in Second Place. He started that way last year too so I think it's just a little too early to count him out. I think Lee and his boat have come to an understanding every since Lee threw it into that ditch 2 season ago. It's been treating him pretty good.
Jeff finds himself in the 3rd spot again after finishing last year in 3rd. Great spring board to the top!
Dave Hall is new to the Top Six and we'd like to see him stay here. He currently sits in 4th place for the Angler of the Year standings.
In 5th we have a Tie. Mack Cramer and Bob Jones racked up enough participation points to make it into the Top Six.
Right behind them is Everyone who attended the meeting! Bill Armstrong and Brian Nall fished but were disqualified when Bill's boat broke down and they couldn't make it back for the weigh in. So according to the Tournament Rules they forfeit all points including Tournament points, Fishing points and Shirt & Hat points.
Great job to the Top Six!
John Russell leads our Co-Angler of the Year Race to start out our 2019 season. He was a strong player last year starting in the middle of the season and this year he will be tough to beat. Great job John Russell!
Starting the season out in the Silver Position is Dave Hall who finished 4th this tournament.
Great Job Dave!
Rounding out the top three Co-Anglers is Bob Jones. He didn't catch any fish this tournament but just showing up and surviving under tough conditions earns him this 3 place spot.
Great Job Bob!
Great Job Mack!
This event leads us to an issue that might make a rule change in the future......A "what if" we haven't covered yet in our rules. Is it wise to put the Tournament Director and the Assistant is the same boat? The weigh in was delayed an hour and a half waiting on them to return so the Club's official scales could be used. Should we have a contingency plan in place like having more than one person with access to the scales? How about a spare key kept on the vehicle for others to get to it? "What if" you are stuck at another landing and want your truck and trailer brought up to you. Having a spare key would help in that regard too.
Things that make you go hummmmm....
