The True Story:

Tensaw River out of Cliff’s

Saturday morning January 10, 2009 about 5:15 a.m. we arrived at Cliff’s Landing, at 5:20 a.m. it started to rain but it did not dampen the spirits of the Panhandle Bass Club with 18 members present we were ready to go.

 Charles Loyed lead us off with a morning prayer on the water ( some of us need all the help we can get fishing) then Mack once again assured us it won’t start raining until 2:00 p.m. as he let us go.

We had a south east wind, muddy water and a falling tide to contend with as well as the on and off rain showers. The ones that found clear water in the back of some of the creeks or lakes were able to get on the fish and bring in some decent limits. Bobby Sheffield, Mack Cramer, Rich Cornelius and John Kasic all had there limits. We had a total of 16 members and 1 guest weigh in fish. The Big Fish for this tournament went to Big Rich Hardy weighing in at 2.73 lbs. nice fish, Rich weighs more than that!

Once again Bobby Sheffield was able to show all of us how its done for

FIRST PLACE.

Mack Cramer was pushing hard to dethrone Bobby but fell just a little short for SECOND PLACE.

Rich Cornelius was able to find enough fish to fill his sack and slip into

THIRD PLACE 

congratulations and well done.
