Fish For A Cure 2022 results and pictures!

The Ray Hubbard Bass Club is association with the American Cancer Society held our seventh annual Fish For A Cure tournament last Sunday on Lake Ray Hubbard. It was a little chilly Sunday morning but otherwise God smiled down on us with incredible weather again this year. We had 82 boats come out and fish with us. Thank you all for an incredible turnout! Mother Hubbard was her usual self. Stingy to many. Very generous to quite a few as well. The last team weighed in at 3:59 and when the results were tallied, the team of Clint and Nolan Yeager were our winners with a sack that weighed 22.50 pounds, that included a 6.63 kicker. Big bass of the tournament was a 9.93 monster caught by Tim Havins and Josh Mulkey. Here are full results and lots of pictures.









What fills a Tournament Organizer's heart with joy? Every parking space filled!



Larry Ladnier with Victory Fishing was our Tournament Director again this year. Larry generously donates his time and equipment for FFAC!



That includes the live release tank to let all those caught fish be released back in to Hubbard to be caught again



We could not do this without our generous sponsors. Both companies and individuals write checks to us that go to the American Cancer Society



It was busy at the ramp at Chandlers about 3:00



Larry had the tanks set up for the weigh in line to care for our finned friends



Teams trickled in early but after a while there was a good line to get the fish weighed



We had a great crowd watching weigh in, buying shirts, hats and tickets for the drawing

I didn’t know you were gonna have 82 teams. If I did, I would have said I was fishing for 7th!


We had a great time. I can’t wait till next year!

For a change we gave them something!

And here is big bass. A 9.93 FFAC record caught by Tim Havins! Well done!





And here is a very tired but happy me with Brian Sherwood from the American Cancer Society. It was Brian's first weigh in. I think it was a bit of sensory overload.



That's a wrap for this year. I will make a post in a couple days thanking by name all those who put this together and giving you a total amount of money raised and it was substantial this year. Thank you to everyone that came out and fished with us. And it's already in my signature. The 8th Annual Fish For A Cure is Sunday October 29th 2023 so plan to be with us!

Great jog all y'all. Great cause as well.

Awesome report as always.
