Tommy Climer and Ronnie Manning conquered a post frontal and recently turned over Lake Palestine to win the club championship.  They made up a 7 lb deficit from day one to take the win with a two day total of 24.62 lbs. Jerry Brown and David Simmons finished 2nd with 19.20 lbs and won Big Bass on day one with a 5.14 lb fish. Evan Vidal and Eric Vidal had a nice sack over 14 lbs on day two to make a substantial move and finish 3rd with 18.87 lbs. Their day 2 bag was anchored by a 6.10 fish that I’m sure with the conditions they thought was good for day two Big Bass. Tony Schnurr and Jay Messersmith came in fourth with 16.92 lbs. Preston Smith and David Horton finished the year up strong and came in fifth. Preston and David had won two tournaments late in the season and Preston won the last tournament of the year with new member Brandon Amos. Nice season guys. Vince Burt and Mark Werner finished in 6th place with 15 and some change. The last check went to Kenny and Howard Bunch who weighed in one fish on Sunday. That one fish happened to be a good one, it went 7.34 lbs and it was also the Big Bass of our tournament. They finished with 11.74 lbs over the two days.

Thanks to the folks at Lake Palestine Resort for the accommodations. The food was outstanding and it was very convenient to stay and launch from the same site. We had 21 boats fish the championship and we paid 7 spots. Congrats to all the guys that cashed checks. Thanks to everyone that came out.
