Day 1: The goal when fishing at Mr. Bass is to finish in the top 20 - that will secure you a spot in the State Championship/Fish Off in the fall. Day 1 began with a cold 32 degree startup but the BassHole members heated things up and after day 1 all 4 BassHole Member teams were in the top 20. Leading the way, Jim and Mack were looking pretty sitting in 3rd place overall (16.97lb), O.B. and Young Ivan were not far behind in 7th place (15.36lb), Ivan and Janet were doing well in 11th (14.87lb), and Adam and Gene were on their way to making the Fish Off in 18th place (13.59lb).
Day 2: The weather got warmer but the fishing got colder. Unfortunately Jim and Mack had one of those days that we've all had and they fell out of the top 20. The "hot" team of the day and moving up to finish in 6th place was O.B and Young Ivan. Getting into the money and qualifying for the Fish Off made for a great day for this team. Ivan and Janet had a slower day that saw them drop from 11th to 14th place but they were still good enough to qualify to the Fish Off. Adam and Gene meanwhile had a frustrating day falling out of the top 20 and they failed to make the cut.
All in all this was a great tournament for BassHoles members. Having 2 of the 4 teams qualify for the Fish Off was an excellent finish. With 2 more qualifying tournaments remaining, don't be surprised to see all 4 teams represent BassHoles at the State Tournament this fall.
