Standings]
The first midweek of
the 2007 season was greeted by an absolutely breathtaking sunrise. See a
great photo that was taken on the Bubba Photos Page. We were gifted with
a warm but pleasant day out on Newfound Lake as 33 dedicated midweek
fishermen fished their first midweek this year. Great fishing, great
stories and even ones about that fish that got away could be heard as the
day wound down.
To begin this years
winning circle, Joe Lucarelli took first place bringing home his second
Midweek win. Congratulations Joe. Joe proclaims his winning pattern was
the use of the watermelon Senko. His big fish weight of 3.84 was caught
in 15 feet of water using the watermelon Senko. Backing that up with
another nice fish 3.67 was also caught with a watermelon Senko in 15 feet
of water.
Coming in second
place with 7.34 was Bob Savoie using a totally different technique, the
spider grub. He caught his kicker fish of 4.00 lbs, lunker smallmouth,
using the spider grub in 5 – 8 feet of water. Using this same technique in
the same water he caught his second fish at 3.34. Bob is not sharing his
color though. Congratulations Bob.
Third place was
taken by Peter Weeks using a similar technique as Joe Lucarelli, the
watermelon Senko but in 12 feet of water.
His big fish was 3.72 bringing him into third place with 7.21. Great Job
Peter.
Bobby Girl Hurst
took fourth place with 7.19 and tied for 2nd lunker smallmouth
with a great fish at 3.89 using a technique that was foreign to this young
man – Spider Grubs. He then returned to his trusty Senko to finish his
day with a series of 5 fish and the one that got away, which would have
been “the fish”, that snapped off. Sorry Bobby Girl, better luck next
time. J
Steve Graham, the
most patient man on a hot day, took 5th place with 6.97 with a
big fish of 3.61. Way to go Steve. He was Boat 1 of the day, but had to
wait until “Big Daddy” Mike Mac came in to go home because inadvertently
Steve’s cars keys were in Mike Mac’s boat.
And last but not
least, the coveted First Loser’s spot goes to Alan Denise, Sick boy, with
6.73.
We had a special
guest today, Bryce Anderson who came along today to keep Grandpa Joe
Anderson out of trouble and ended up putting the smack down on Grandpa
beating him by 1.12 with 6.22 and a lunker of 3.20. Hope to see you again
soon Bryce and thank you for the hug.
Thank you to all our
sponsors. The winner of the Bass Boat Saver was Scott Smith, the Berkley
bait went to Sandy Irrera, Tracy Gerbert Jr was the winner of the
Applebee’s gift certificate, Matt Davis took home the Paint Ball Gift
Certification and lastly the winner of a free entry to any 2007 midweek
was Cory Nearing. Congratulations to all.
A thank you also
needs to be relayed to our host Bill Grout of Wellington State Park for
accommodating us. We will see you again next year.
Mark your calendars;
the next midweek is on July 11th on Winni. Remember this is a
sanctioned event for the Nitro 591 giveaway. See you all there.
Quit Wishin, Go Fishing!!!
