RODBENDERS October 07 Newsletter

First of all, let us all recognize Tony South as Rodbenders’ Classic Champion for 2007!!!!  Tony had a seven pounder to anchor his 14.74 pound winning stringer from Cypress Springs this past October 19th.  Congratulations Tony, another impressive victory to add to your resume!  Tim Hall came in a close second, followed by Jason Hill in a close third place.  Jeff Cade was fourth and Mike Millender was fifth.  The stringer results are listed below.  Buzzbaits and crawfish pattern seemed to be the prevalent pattern for Cypress this day.  It was nice to have the lake mostly to our club.  All competitors weighed at least one keeper. 

The first tournament of our 2007-08 season was held at nearby Lake Ray Roberts on Saturday, October 6th.  Jerry Vaughan blasted the field with the biggest fish weighed in a tournament in a long time.   He had a 9.15 pound huge fish to anchor his 13.32 pound stringer.  His big fish was the only fish weighed in over the slot, so the weights reflected a big dropoff after 1st place.  Jerry also put the bar very high for big bass of the year.  An amazing stat was the number of anglers that brought in five fish limits to the scales.  In fact only 2 of the 19 competitors did not have a fish limit at Ray Bob.  Spinnerbaits, cranks, and finesse worms seemed to be the predominant patterns.  Nineteen anglers total brought in 87 bass at 77.22 pounds, a 0.89 pound average.  The first place prize was taken by the team of Jerry Vaughan and Tim Hall with 10 fish at 17.00 pounds.  Second place went to the team of John Duhon and Tom Baxter with 10 fish at 11.82 pounds.  Mike Millender and David Gilmore came in third with 10 fish at 9.83 pounds.   Thanks to everyone for participating and congratulations to the winners. We hope to see everyone next month at the next event of the 2007-2008 season on new water, Pat Mayse Reservoir, November 3rd.
