The Ray Hubbard Bass Club held our second members only tournament of 2024 last Saturday March 9th on Lake Bob Sandlin. The day started with a cold north wind blowing hard but turned in to a pretty nice day to fish. 31 boats came out to fish and fishing was good as 20 teams weighed in 5 fish limits. Weigh in turned in to a one man show. Elrid Richard fishing solo, caught the second largest bag ever weighed in in an RHBC Tournament! His 28.81 pounds lapped a strong field and he had big bass of the day as well with an 8.62 monster! Here are full results and pictures.
