First, we would like to start off by thanking all of our Directors and Members that showed up to make this event the success that is was, and the Kalamazoo area chamber of commerce for hosting this great event! Most anglers experienced a tough bite, but there was still many limits of fish caught during the event, and some really nice fish too! Below is a picture of some of the anglers that fished the event, and of the beautiful morning that was provided for launch of the event!
We also want to thank those of you who did our “Early Bird” online registration! Our Early Bird Prize drawing winner Andy Rosales(Pictured Below) Won a nice Humminbird PirahnaMAX fish finder, and a MinnKota one bank charger!
Anglers had the chance to buy into the Big Fish Pot the morning of the tournament, which paid the Top 3 biggest bass of the event! We ended up have a tie for 3rd Place Big Bass with Daniel Houser and Mark Semple both weighing in a 3 pound 4 ounce bass! Runner up and in 2nd Place for big bass was Tyler Barnes, with a nice 3 pound 13 ounce bass! Your big bass champion for this event was Ed Dyer, and his nice 4 pound 5 ounce fish! Congrats guys on some nice fish! Below is a picture of our Big Bass Winners! and also a picture of Ed Dyer with his big bass winning fish!
With a 1 in 5 Payout, the top 8 anglers were paid in this year’s One on One National Championship, and we had a nice “Just out of the Money” Prize pack for Cory Sterkerbag (10th Place with 8.03 pounds), and Chris Nguyen (9th Place with 8.04 pounds) who just barely finished out of the money. First in the money at 8th place was Curtis Talley with 8 lbs 10 ounces! 7th place was Robert Miller Sr. with 9 pounds 3 ounces, who was barely edged out by our 6th placed angler, Aaron Feeback, who had 9 pounds 5 ounces!
