December Tournament:
The December Tournament was held on the Escambia
River out of Swamp house landing. We
had 19 members and 3 guests fishing out of 11 boats in the tournament. You
could not have asked for a better day in December to fish. Temps in the mid 60’s with overcast skies
while everyone up north was dealing with snow.
1st Place
Mack Cramer
Mack came up to the
scales with a big ole grin on his face and showed us how you catch fish on the
Escambia River. His five fish limit
weighed in at a whopping 12.29 pounds while the rest of us struggled with small
fish. His kicker and big fish of the
tournament weighed in at 6.32 pounds, which by the way, was the total weight of
all 5 fish he weighed in last tournament. Boo-yah!
Yes he will also claim the money from the booray pot!
Congratulations Mack
!!!!

You might want to look long and hard at what he's holdin in his hands and also it's his guest fishing tournament ta boot....

~Know Your Hawgs~
Say hello to Marion Johnson.
Marion
is sponsored into the club by his neighbor Frank Kelly but we will try not to hold that against
him as you really can’t pick your neighbors.
Marion is new to Bass Fishing and is eager to learn what the club can
teach him. This tournament he was taught
patience and how to be a good sport when you don’t catch fish.
Although I think we were all humbled just a
little bit by Mack’s 12 pound limit on
Escambia River.
Welcome To The Club Marion.
