Today SJHT had 16 members and 2 guest come out to fish our 8th Club tournament of the year. Having to sit this one out due to reconning some Huge fish elsewhere (Note: Video, report, and sound bites to follow), a big shout out goes to former South Jersey Hook One member Mark "AnglerMTF" Farley for making a guest appearance from his new home of Minnesota and winning today's lunker pot with a Bass going 2.63lbs.
AnglerMTF actually caught 2 Bass but his kicker fish was enough to seal the deal at an unusally tough Stewart's Tournament. Way to make an entrance MTF!!!
Alright....without further adieu, a Big Congratulations goes out to that guy Chris "5BigGirls" Dalfonso for making a comeback in the last hour for catching his 3 Bass limit weighing a total of 4.86lbs. Second place was won by Bryon Powell with 3 Bass going 4.24lbs.Third place and new "CopperHead" snake Wrangler was taken by Jimbo with 2 Bass going 3.68lbs. Way to hang tough out there men!!! Word on the street was the bite was somewhat there, but there were numerous dinks caught in the mix of some keeper Bass!!!
1st Place Winner Chris "5BigGirls" D.:
2nd Place Winner Bryon Powell:
3rd Place and "CopperHead" Snake Wrangler "Jimbo":

As we near our mid-point of the season, the point races is getting quite interesting. Stay tune for the battle at Menantico SP next Saturday, July 18, 2009.
