The Ray Hubbard Bass Club held our first tournament of 2024 on Saturday February 10th on Lake Palestine. It was warm for February and we got through registration and the first hour of fishing before the sky opened up on us. It rained steady for the next 7 hours with a couple heavy downpours. No lightning around luckily and fishing was decent. I think the weather kept some people at home but we had 28 boats on the water. When everyone had weighed in the team of Jeremy McLeroy and Tm Clark won the day with an outstanding bag of 20.91 pounds! Their catch included the second largest fish in RHBC history, and 11.32 monster that took home big bass honors. Here are full results and pictures.
