First I would like to congratulate Paul and Sean for winning the 2023 AOTY honors. Great job guys!
Now on to the classic tournament. With the weather not looking very promising 7 teams braved the potential elements and we sure were glad that Saturday and Sunday turned out to be nice days to fish on the Big O.
Friday pre-fish was a wash out on the other hand. A few of us went out after the danger of lightning went below us but was still a drizzly day.
First Place with 32.44 pounds goes to Darrell and Jason
Second Place with 31.85 pounds goes to Paul and Sean
Third Place with 24.47 pounds goes to Gary and Richard
Big Bass day 1 goes to Darrell and Jason with a 4.69 pound bass
Big Bass day 2 goes to Paul and Sean with a 5.62 pound bass
Paul and Sean with day 2 limit weighing 20.70 pounds
All of us that were there would like to thank Sean for his generous dinner he provided for the members which included filet minions, corn on the cob, baked potatoes and grilled shrimp skewers. He even brought the grills and table and him and Paul grilled up everything to perfection. Next year may be just hamburgers and hot dogs which will be awesome too!
Speaking of the 2024 Classic, we will be fishing March 22 and 23 2025 out of Clewiston’ Lake Okeechobee.
The current board of directors will retire at the end of the 2024 season.
I want to thank Darrell, Steve and others who have helped over the last 15 years plus run the club. Thank You!!!
We still plan on fishing but we feel it is time for some younger blood to run the club and look forward to helping the new directors with the transition.
Mike
