Welcome to round #17 of the SJHT 2021 season where 10 members came out to battle on the SQUAN in the hopes of winning AOY and improving there regular season point standings. All I can say, "It was unbelievable TOUGH" to get a bite of any sorts.

Summary: Did I mention the Squan was very tough today.
Between the tires on members trailers and on my truck, lets just say I wish I could have stayed home. LOL.
MANASQUAN RES. showed us how fickle it can be during the various seasonal changes. As witnessed, she does hold some Big Girls but at the same time, likes to Nickel and Dime you for just a legal size Keeper. Most Anglers reported barely a sniff....myself included. What a way to end our regular season. Only 5 points separated Rob from overcoming Brian's AOY lead....and then Brian brings that Hawg to the scales. Damn!!! What an exclamation point with your only bite. Congrats my Man!!! I believe this is somewhere around your 55 Consecutive Regular Season Tournament thus earning you another 2021 "Iron Man" Award with injured Shoulder\arm!!! You know...you can miss a few tournaments from time to time. LMAO!! What an ending!!!
In All, all 6 out of 10 SJHT Anglers caught at least 1 Bass. There were 11 Bass caught overall. The SQUAN gave way to total of 19.97lbs caught overall. The Squan avg. weight was 1.82lbs.
Overall.... nly 1 Anglers caught there 3 Bass Limit.
The Fu Man!!
Congrats to Brian McCulley, Jackson Fu, and Rob Masterson on your performances.
Next up is 2021 SJHT BASS CLASSIC in 2 Weeks.
Tightlines,
