The Ray Hubbard Bass Club held our eighth members only tournament on Saturday, September 21st on our home lake, Ray Hubbard. The weather was hot as it’s been all September but we had a nasty south wind of 15-20 that made moving around difficult and put a strain on trolling motors everywhere. 36 boats came out to a normal day of haves and have nots on Ray Hubbard. Three bags over 20 pounds and twelve 0’s came to the scales. Russell Olds and Tony Schnurr teamed up for the win bringing a great bag of 21.35 to the scales. Their bag was anchored by two giant fish, one of which took big bass honors weighing 8.29. There were several other 7 pound plus fish weighed in. Here are full results and pictures.



Chris Lewis had one to show for his hard work that weighed 2.05



Colby Schmidt and Robert Spurrier weighed two for 3.31



Joseph Tulley and Shane Garber with two for 4.37



Robert Hitt and John Bruner had two for 4.43

Two fish like this in a tournament even got Tony to smile

Big Bass of the event goes to Tony Schnurr and this 8.29 giant. That's a money fish!
