RODBENDERS September 07 Newsletter

 

First of all, let us all recognize Mr. Jason Hill as Rodbenders Angler of the Year for 2007!!!!  Jason had a season all of us would be proud of.  He not only weighed fish in all twelve tournaments, but he was in the top five individual finishers in most of them!  Jason added to this title the Rodbenders Big Bass of the Year, so it was a clean sweep for Mr. Hill.   Way to go, Jason!  Many anglers reported seeing tons of shad and many small fish Jason Hill continued what has been a great season and pretty much cemented his hold on the Angler of the Year title.  This past event at Lake Bob Sandlin wasn’t a typical “Sandlin” event.  Twenty-five anglers fished pretty tough conditions to bring in 52 bass at 62.81 pounds, a 1.21 pound average.  The first place prize was taken by the team of Jerry Vaughan and Tim Hall with 10 fish at 14.10 pounds.  Second place went to the team of Wayne Kralik and Darrel Thompson with 10 fish at 12.97 pounds.  Martin Kralik and Stephen Kralik came in third with 7 fish at 8.67 pounds.   Big bass of the event went to Tim Hall, with a solid 4.03 Sandlin hawg.  Thanks to everyone for participating and congratulations to the winners. We hope to see everyone next month at the first event of the 2007-2008 season on Lake Ray Roberts, October 6th.
