The Ray Hubbard Bass Club fished our sixth tournament of the year Saturday July 12th on Lake Tawakoni. The weather was hot and for the most part the fishing was not, but as always happens, some people caught em. 26 boats came out to play and in the end newcomers Jon Ponder and Jacob Britt won with 5 fish for a very solid 18.50 pounds. Here are the full results and pictures.
No, this first one is not from our tournament, but I wanted to remind everyone what Tawakoni looked like with water in it. The lake is 9 feet low and a shadow of what she used to be and will be again someday. This is Tommy Biffle at the PAA tournament there in 2010. It was a fun day in the boat with him.
TD's Matt Jackson and Russell Olds had 2 for 5.98
New member Dan Margules fishing with Doug Hauessler had just one on the day. Dan is from Canada and this was his first time fishing in 100 degree Texas heat.
RHBC veteran Eric Vidal with their fish.
Defending AOY Dennis Machost fished with Dale Rettman and they had 2 for 8.46 including a 5.35 beast.
Shawn Garber and David Taylor only had one but it was a chunky 4.48 fish.
Jim Phillips and Randy Bridges had 2 for 6.23.
