RHBC Lavon Results and Pictures!

The Ray Hubbard Bass Club held our seventh members only tournament of 2018 on Saturday August 11th at Lake Lavon. Uncharacteristically cool temperatures and steady rain fell throughout the morning. I actually mentioned the word "chilly" to my partner that morning, which I don't think I have ever done in August in Texas. Well, I'm getting old. Fishing was pretty good for about half of the 43 boat field, our best turnout of the year. 15 boats brought limits to the scales. When the dust settled, the team of Brian Roether and Brad Reagan weighed a great limit of 20.36 pounds for the win. No giants in that bag, just a bunch of 4 pounders. But there was a giant brought in. For the second year in a row, Lake Lavon kicked out a 10 pounder for big bass. Eddy Wooldridge and Bryan Toombs brought the 10.02 behemoth to the weigh in. Here are full results and pictures.

If you're going to weigh two fish, might as well make one of them a 10 pounder! Here's Eddy Wooldridge with their 10.02 giant.



Here are your winners! RHBC VP Brian Roether and Secretary Brad Reagan weighed in the 20 pound sack I predicted would happen. 20.36 pounds to be exact. Congratulations on the win guys!



Thanks to all my guys pictured above and also Tommy Yates for checking live wells and getting through weigh in on a day when we had lots of fish to weigh. A personal thank you for the help on the dead battery issue on my truck go to Kasey and Kenny Bunch, Stan Browning, David Burton and of course my great partner Chris Atkinson. You all showed what being in a Club is about. Our next tournament is Saturday September 8th on our home lake of Ray Hubbard. Meeting will be on August 6th. See you there!

Great turnout and good results. We will be doing it this Saturday.
