First Place winner in the First Annual Habs Classic was Scott Halverson with a 36# bass that was only 44" long.
The fish was weighed at Edward's Fishing Tackle and Kevin said it was a beauty that really deserved a wall mount. I saw pictures of it that Scott's son Josh had with him and it was a was a real chubster for the length -
God knows, I
love to see them with proportions like that
I also asked Scott if he had autopsied it to determine the stomach contents and he said the old girl didn't have a thing in her. Job well done, Scott
I know how tough the fishing was all over that night he got it - and don't ask me how
Second Place went to Dave Anderson (our own Canalman) with a 25# if I remember correctly and Third Place was in at 18#. Kevin Kendricks himself ended up getting bumped out of 3rd by less than half a pound. There were no fish weighed in at either Quonny B&T or Quaker Lane as far as I know and I don't think any were weighed in at the SWE.
All in all, an outstanding job, men, under a nearly full moon and gin clear water with virtually no swell whatsoever. The competition was pretty stiff given the line-up of guys who fished the tourney - there wasn't a lightweight in the bunch, believe me.
So here's to you and here's to Habs
See you all next year
