Joe. S Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Club Classic. We'll after last weeks 16.12 lb bag and a 2nd place finish for the year, yesterday was our clubs Classic (top ten anglers for the year) I've made the classic every year (6) but never won one. Yesterday was brutal 5 hours on 2 different lakes, weigh in after each lake 6-11 a.m. an hour break 12-5 p.m. Total weight wins. Weather was not nice, major cold front, temp to start was 38° with a stiff 15-25mph NNE wind. I had to fish with what got me there, off shore structure, so I took a beating as the first lake was the big one, fishing white caps out in the middle, trolling motor coming out of the water etc. But it paid off. I managed to get 5 bites and at the first weigh in I had 15.8 and one of those was a 12" fish I couldn't get rid of. I also got lunker on that lake with a 4.7. that one and 2 others were on G's 3/4 oz jig and a 3" chunk, Black. and the litte guy and a heavy 2 on a 6" worm. Going into the second lake, there was only one guy close to me, he had 12.7. the next behind him was 5.10. So I needed to catch fish, so I thought. I managed to grind out 5 fish on the jig and needed the whole 5 hours to do so. I had 8 lbs even. I talked to the guy before weigh in that was close with the 12lbs and he got skunked!!! So I finished the T with a total of 23.8lbs for 10 fish, 2nd was 15.5! I finally got my Trophy!!!!!! Actually I'll get it in January at our Banquet There is one more on my list and that is Angler of the year, I finished 2nd in points 2 years in a row. Next Year!!!! Quote

Joe. S Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks Guys, I fished Vansciver lake, then manor lake in Morrisville Pa. I don't have pics of Sunday's Classic tourney but do from the week before with the 16.12 lb bag. I'm the miserable looking one for some reason in the white t-shirt : the one in my right hand was lunker for the day at 4.13 Quote
