Reinbold Works His Magic at Nelson Lake!

 

   the day started out with calm winds and good temperatures up into the 70's Mother nature decided to give us a break for once from the harsh weather of past tournaments that we have experienced, as I was fishing I was actually wishing the wind would pick up a little bit because fishing seemed slow and different than days prior when it was windy and cold.  Well didn't have to wait long as by 11 AM the wind picked up and by the time the tournament was over it was howling out of the south at a pretty good clip making controlling the boat difficult.

 

  A total of 25 Anglers competed for the top spot weighing in 56 Bass.  Big fish of the tournament award goes to an new member Jade Red Bear with a fish weighing 3.82 pounds.  several members  had to withdraw due to equipment malfunctions on the boats while fishing.

 

  Paul Reinbold of Dickinson narrowly edged out Marty Mantz of center by 3 ounces but due to a penalty of 8 ounces for a dead fish Marty dropped down to third place overall.  Second place was awarded to Mike Reid from Canada.  Full results can be seen along with pictures on the website.

 

  Thanks again to all of our new members who attended and we welcome you and hope to see you guys at the next tournament, thanks to Geo and Mike for the awesome MMB

(mini mike burgers) for some reason they seem to taste so good after the end of a hard day of fishing!  congrats to everyone who participated and hope that you enjoyed the day.

 

  Overall I think it was a very success full tournament lots of fish being caught and good food and lots of fish stories to go around after wards, Hang in there James your gonna win at Nelson one of these times and Paul you better bring it in October I plan on keeping my crown!   looking forward to seeing everyone at the next tournament on June 12Th at Sheep Creek dam.
