Welcome back Darrell ! It was nice to see you back fishing with us and I know the rest of us also were glad to see you. On this last tournament of 2014 6 teams showed up to fish. Joe and Greg actually pre-fished Friday since all the pressure was on them to stay in first place and hopefully take AOTY for 2014. With Mike and Steve 11 points behind it would have taken Mike and Steve to place high in the win column and have a big bass and for Joe and Greg to place low in the win column. Well Joe and Greg placed low in the win column, but Mike and Steve placed lower. So it is my pleasure to congratulate Joe and Greg for winning AOTY for the 2014 season! Funny thing happened during our meeting, Joe informed me after all the years of fishing together I have been misspelling his name. And now that he is getting a plaque he decided it was the proper time so I would not have it wrong on his plaque.
First Place with 5 bass weighing 9.62 lbs goes to Malcolm and Josh
Second Place with 3 bass weighing 5.19 lbs goes to Scott and Dick
Third Place with 2 bass weighing 4.53 lbs goes to Darrell and Jason
Big Bass weighing 2.69 lbs goes to Darrell and Jason
50/50 winner goes to Greg. We raised $285.00 for the Classic after starting it late in the season.
We had our end of year meeting to review, discuss and vote on anything anyone wanted to vote on. We also picked the lakes for 2015 which will be posted on the website. It was brought to a motion that SPPB start enforcing the Classic Rules which have been in place since day 1, starting in 2015. It was voted for starting in 2015. We made an adjustment on the qualification number as follows. If there are 10 scheduled tournaments you must participate in 7 tournaments to qualify for the classic. If there are 11 tournaments you must participate in 8 tournaments to qualify for the classic. There are exemptions which are on the Classic Rule page. Next on the membership rules we voted to eliminate rule # 7.
At this time I would like to say Thank You to Steve, Darrell and Jason for their continued help with SPPB and to all the members who have also helped with our club. Hope everyone has a great holiday season and I am already looking forward to the 2015 season.
Mike
