The Ray Hubbard Bass Club held our season ending two day Championship Tournament on November 9-10 on Lake Pat Mayse. 46 members qualified for the Championship and most participated. 21 boats were on the water with us. Fishing was surprisingly good especially on Day 1 as some solid bags were brought in. Day 2 with bluebird skies and no wind got tougher. When the scales were closed for the year, the team of Ronnie Manning and Capp Peace went home the winners. Consistency was key over two days and back to back 14 pound bags totaling 28.83 sent them home with the winners check. The team of Jeremy McLeroy and Tim Clark got big bass for the tournament with an 8.36 monster. Here are full results and pictures



Preston Smith and David Horton had two on Day 1



So did Tony Bryant and Brig Norwood



James and Shellye Crawford had three

Joe and John Coursey with a limit for 10.25



Eugene McBride and Tyler Austin had five for 11.92

The curse of leading Day 1 went to Jeremy McLeroy and Tim Clark with a great limit of 17.58

Many of us have felt the sting of getting caught after leading on Day 1. This year went to Jeremy McLeroy and Tom Clark with a two day total of 26.67 that got them Second Place. However they also won Day 1 big bass money and took home the Heavy Hitters money for biggest bag of the two days and this goes along with being the 2024 RHBC Anglers of the Year! Helluva year boys! Congrats!



Here are your winners! Consistency is key over two days abd a two day total of 28.83 took home the big prize for Ronnie Manning and Capp Peace. Well done boys!
