<New Johns Lake Bass Tournament August 14th 2010

New Johns Round 2!!

Tony Reinbold & Jason Bader

 

Round two at New Johns lake! this time around it was a teams tournament in the battle of East vs West this time around the trophy goes back to the west side! You can blame that on mother nature as she played a dirty trick on us this time around!
 
  Looking at the weather forecast a few days before the tournament I knew it was going to be ugly.  The morning of the tournament dawned and the skies looked Grey and the promise of rain was in the air, the wind was blowing a steady 10-15 at the start and it got nothing but worse throughout the day.  The logical choice was to go west and hide in the canals out of the wind, but logic didn't enter my mind as Matt and I and several others headed to the East into the wind and waves in search of big fish, several times throughout the day I pondered our decision to go that way as we battled 30 mph winds and waves it was almost impossible to cast and to feel the fish when they did bite!  oh well lesson learned congrats to the west side anglers! you wont be so lucky next time! I say bring it on! well see who's holding the trophy next time!  I am throwing the challenge out there and saying the trophy comes back east next time!
 
  Champion anglers of the day were Tony Reinbold and Jason Bader with 12.45 pounds
second place were Eric Ehn and Bill Novac with 12.09 pounds and third place was marty mantz and Matt Sullivan with 10.69 pounds.  Full results can be seen on the website. 
 
  Big Bass was again caught by Jeff Wetzel a dandy 3.89 pound fish beating me by 1/10th of an ounce yet again!  He used a tube I gave him before the tournament to catch it! now is that angler participation or what! thanks Jeff!!!!! I guess the bigguns like that one!
 
  Mother nature showed us that she is in full control of our day and good job to those that took advantage of those diverse conditions and excelled to catch fish!  thanks to Geo and Mike as usual for the awesome burgers and food afterwards, it's getting to be tradition to stand around afterwards and eat some food and tell some stories!  Next tournament is at the Missouri River out of beaver Bay! see you there! this should be an interesting one!
