November Tournament:

The first tournament of the new year was at Claiborne Lake out of Cobb’s landing, we had 18 boats to kick off the new season. The weather was great just a beautiful day.

The word was the bite was on plastics & crank baits.  Everyone caught fish.

Big Fish winner of the tournament

Went to Frank Kelly a 4.36 lb

Spotted bass, good job Frank.

John Buck finished first with 7 fish weighing 12.29, Frank Kelly took second with 7 fish at 12.25 and Rich Cornelius took third with 7 fish weighing 10.94 lbs. Good job guys.

The muddy bank made for some not so happy campers not to mention the steep ramp which gave some of us a little trouble.
