The '24 season started on the Potomac River this year.  After finding the new Aquia Ramp to be complete garbage, we once again launched from the back.   Pre-fishing found many teams finding fish here and there and everywhere all at the same time.  In total, 285+ bass were caught during this trip club-wide.  

 The Potomac is healthy!
1st place went to John today with a bag of 10 lbs 13 oz and a fine kicker over 4lbs.2nd place went to Matt with 10lbs even with the kicker of the day going 5.06 lbs.  3rd place went to Ken Eng with another 10 lb bag anchored by a smaller kicker of 4.04 lbs. 

 Brian Howard took 4th place and Joe Montoya rounded-out the top 5.  Troy went 6th and Tyler 7th at the scales with nice bags of their own.  Grass and wood cover held most the fish and with windy conditions present through-out the last two  days, the club fished hard and most were beat and ready for rest after a great trip. 

1st: Ken Berry (2) 6.02lbs 4.05 lunker

2nd: Matt Houtz (2) 5.13lbs 3.00

3rd: Troy Duff (3) 5.02lbs 1.13

10th: Joe Williams DNW

11th: Dave Enderlein DNF

Junior Angler Timmy Duff (2) 3.10lbs 2.08 lunker

Anglers fished alongside the Ratz today and the two clubs weighed-in together so all members could participate in the Tourny today.  Congrats to Ken Berry on his 1st Hazzard County Win!!  Ken also came in with the days' lunker.  Matt took second and has another strong finish followed by Troy for 3rd place.  Rounding out the top 5 we have Ken Eng and Joe Montoya with good finishes to the day.  The weights were lower than expected today due to FLOOD conditions.  Finding deep water today was never a problem as the water really never went out today.  It is reported that structure held the fish today more than grass.

1st: Tyler Crawford (3) 9.11lbs 4.11 lunker

2nd: John Richick (3) 9.06lbs 4.00

The hottest day of the year served as host of todays event.  15 went out today and the weigh-in was full of twists and turns that flipped the leaderboard on its head.

   Coming in 1st place today was Tyler Crawford with a 3 fish bag of 9 lbs 11 oz.  His bag was anchored by a 4 lb 11 oz hog pulled from the river.  Tyler fished mostly hard cover in the river today.

   2nd place went to John Richick today with a 3 fish limit of 9lbs 6oz and a 4.00lb kicker.   He fished the flats from start to finish on a tough hot, windy day with Tim Duff.  Tim had an impressive finish of 4th place weight and a nice 3lbs 15 oz Largemouth.

    3rd place went to Brian Howard with another strong finish having 8lbs 5oz come to the scales today.  Brian fished Furnace in various ways with Mack in the Ranger.

Ken Berry came to the scales with a good bag going almost 5 1/2 on 3 fish.  This provided much needed points to not lose any ground in overall points.   Followed by Matt also catching a little stringer of 3 with just over 5 lbs.  A couple of 2 fish stringers and 1 fish stringers rounded out a tough day of fishing that had lots of pressure, heat, and wind to deal with throughout the day.  Ther overall points have been shuffled once again bringing the top 8 angers all within one tournament from the lead!! 

 The TOP 5 are separated by only 4 POINTS!   Ken Eng had a tough day and as a result, his lead has been cut to only 1 point.  John made up 10 spots to now sit in 2nd place just a single point from the lead.

And just 2 points behind 2nd place, Troy Duff has fished consistent enough to stay near the top en route to defending his Mr. Bass title.   Then, you have Brian Howard and Matt Houtz sitting just 1 point behind Troy.  Brian has been on good fish this year and Matt is being Matt.....never out of it!   And then on top of that, just mere points separate Ken Berry, Tyler Crawford, and Joe Montoya from being at the top after a high finish in the next tournament or two.

We would like to acknowledge Reese Enderlein and Tim Duff for fishing as junior Bass anglers today.  Reese weighed-in a fine fish today (a little bigger than his Dad's if I remember right?)  

And great job Tim with a 3 fish limit of 7 lbs 09 oz with a 3.15lb kicker.  

Welcome also to Jacob.  Jacon fished as a guest with the club today.

The club launched from Tydings this evening and held a LUNKER ONLY tournament.  The club set out on the upper bay between the Susquehanna and Northeast rivers today and the competition was close.  Dave came to the scales with tonight's lunker going just shy of 4 pounds today in the windy evening conditions.  Matt took 2nd place followed by Mac taking 3rd place.   All Lunkers carried double points awarded to big fish tonight.  There was some movement in total points standings with Matt jumping into 1st place overall with Ken Eng, Troy, john, and Brian well within strinking distance.

Todays tourny found the club back on the familiar waters of the Northeast River.  This tournament starts the final stretch of the season as time marches on towards the end of the season.  Tough fishing conditions greeted the club today (as many Sunday's do) as the fish got hit hard the day before and, as always, the ever present windy conditions gave the club more than just pressured fishing waters to overcome.  Two anglers came in with a limit today with 1st place going to John and 2nd going to Joe Montoya.  Matt once again does enough to finish high with a 3rd place finish followed by the Ken Squared duo of Ken Eng and Ken Berry taking 4th and 5th place honors.  Total points again shifted slightly with Matt maintaining the overall lead and John sliding into 2nd place.  Ken Eng puts himself in 3rd overall with a nice finish as well.  Troy and Joe Montoya are just beneath Ken after todays tournament.

The club members spread out on the river today with several other clubs and everyone came in with limits today.  In a closely contested tournament, it was Ken Eng and Troy Duff coming in with 7 lbs 10 oz each with the tie-breaker going to Ken Eng for 1st place with his bigger Lunker.  Troy's 2nd place finish helped move him up in the total points standing for Mr Bass.  3rd place went to angler Kevin with just 5 oz less than Ken and Troy.  Matt Houtz, once again, has a nice finish which keeps him at the top of the leaderboard with Ken Eng.  And with 1 regular season tournemnet left, we find a heated race for the points lead between Matt Houtz and Ken Eng tied for the lead with 699 points.  John is just under these two anglers with 695 and Troy sits in 4th with 692 points.   After that, we have a bit of a gap to 5th place which is being held down by Ken Berry.  Ken B is still within sight of the top 3 with 676 points, but clearly has some work to do to get inside the top 3.  

The club has just one regular season tournament left at the end of October and with water temps hovering in the mid-60's, fall water temps are about to drop quickly which is likely to spark a feeding frenzy where anything can happen.  Especially with the DOUBLE POINTS CLASSIC just around the corner in NOVEMBER.   The last two tournaments are bound to be exciting as the top 3 spots are still in question with the best fishing still ahead.

Today was the close-out, regular season tournament for 2024.  Only the Club Classic remains.  

This final tournament ended up being a hotly contested battle that saw the best weigh-in of the year in total pounds edging out the Potomac and Flats tournaments earlier this year.  There is a lot to unpack in this one....lets get started....

Ken Eng took 1st place today securing his 3rd win of 2024 and, in addition,  the win catapults Ken to the top of the leaderboard heading into the Classic.  Ken's 12 lb 12 oz bag of Bigmouths was anchored by a 4 1/2 lb Lunker today.  This bag of Bass also gives Ken Stringer of the Year honors going into the 2024 Classic.  Ken holds a 7 point lead over Troy, a 10 point lead over John, and an 11 point lead over Matt.  This is a quality lead, but everyone knows what the Double points classic can do to a lead.  Ken needs to show-up at the Classic with his A-game, despite his lead!

Troy came is 2nd today with an impressive 11 pound stringer of his own.  Troy weighed-in a 5 lb 07 oz hawg today and kept pace with Ken.  As a result, Troy holds on strong to 2nd place overall and in great shape to defend his Mr. Bass title with a big finish in the Classic.  

John Continues to hold down 3rd place overall and remains in a position to strike hard in the classic to leap frog both Troy and Ken to regain the Mr. Bass title.  John limped to the scales with 6 lbs 14 oz for a 6th place finish today.  John is paired with Matt Houtz in the 2024 Classic.   Matt is only 1 point behind John after losing ground to Troy and Ken today with a 9th place finish.  But Matt is known very well for his HUGE classic performances.  These 4....Ken, Troy, John, And Matt are the anglers in sight of the 2024 Mr. Bass title.  

Absolutely worth mentioning are the bags that Kevin and Mac brought to the scales today.  Both anglers had a bass over 5 lbs and both also weighed-in over 10 lbs on 3 fish.  With that, some re-arranging of the record books in the Club Records section will take place as well.
