The second tournament of the 2018 season is in the books. Our Friday night pre-tournament meeting was at the Emmanuel Christian Church in Greenfield. The church has welcomed us over the years for our Rocky Fork tournament and it did so again this year. Our old friend, pastor Larry Maynard, was in Georgia at a wedding but the members of his church came through with their support of our ministry.
After registration was complete, we were served a great home-cooked meal of chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans, slaw and lots of dessert. After we were all more than full, one of the church leaders, Jeff Jones, shared with us about his attempts to become a fisherman without much success and became involved in bird hunting instead. Jeff, a retired military man, told of his early salvation and then a time of not doing the things he should. When he decided to turn back, just as the prodigal son in the Bible, Jesus was waiting and welcomed him back.
Saturday morning, at sunrise, we launched our field of 28 boats. We had a slight breeze with clear skies and a weather report calling for an increase in winds and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. The winds did come, but thankfully the thunderstorms held off and at 3:00 p.m. the boats returned and brought their fish to the scales.
As the teams started to bring in their bags, it seemed the day for most was a success lbs. which included the tournament big bass weighing 4.34 lbs. B.J. said his wife was probably going to be upset for missing this one. The team of Ron Nutter and James Mayle took second place honors with a five fish limit weighing 13.45 lbs. The father-son team of Justen and Ty Fain were third with a limit weighing 11.65 lbs. Fourth place was Jon Litchfield and Dan Nash with a bagful weighing 11.22 lbs. followed by Phillip Campbell and Jared Brown with 11.07 lbs.
Everyone did a great job. Thanks for your support of our Ohio Team Series. We had 28 boats in this event with 20 limits and a total of 114 bass weighed in.
Our next tournament is June 9 at Delaware. See you there!
