We have had another of our long time east Michigan NBAA anglers pass away.

It is with deep sadness that we post a message of the passing of another of our long time Directors and NBAA members.

RON AIELLO passed away Friday May 17 2013 after losing his battle with cancer.

Ron was 59 years old, he was one of the first NBAA Directors on the east side of Michigan. He ran the Tuesday division 36 for over ten years. Ron’s tournaments are best remembered for his large clock face farmers market scale that was set on a large tripod. Ron had recently retired from General Motors after 30 years. Ron will be missed by all who knew him.

The rain once again hammered down as the 91 finalists took off on Kentucky tournament waters. After a year of competition in their local divisions, and fighting their ways through over 100 teams in the black and blue qualifiers, this was it. The rains led to rising water levels and strategy changes, mostly leading to the banks.

With only a handful of boats to go, David Hasty and Seth Borton took the lead with 18lbs 13ounces. From there all the duo could do was sit in the “hot seat” and wait. Many teams came close as the weigh-in continued but the lead wasn’t contested until Eugene Steinke and Dave Burton approached with 18lbs 13ounces to lock it in with a tie.  The crowd and the competitors anxiously awaited the tie-breaker rule.  But, when both teams were offered the chance to share the title, they gladly accepted.

Watch the 2013 NBAA Ultimate Championship right here!

A rainy day on Kentucky waters saw 127 teams battle it out on day two of the 2013 NBAA National Championship in Gilbertsville, Ky. Today’s weigh in was marked the Black Division Championship day where black division qualifiers compete for the top fifty spots to advance to Saturday’s Ultimate Championship finals. Stuart Cavner and Andy Scheuller led it today with 21 lbs 4 ounces.

Tomorrow, the top fifty teams from both Blue and Black Championship days will meet to decide this year’s NBAA National Champions on Kentucky Lake.

“We’ve fished three national championships and came up short in second; this is our division win,” Cavner and Scheuller said.  “We’re definitely glad to finally take the title, and we hope that’s also the case tomorrow.”

Coming in second, were Karl Kearcher and Carlos Vergara with a respectable 19lbs 2ounces. The team will be among the fifty to advance to the Ultimate Championship finals tomorrow.
