The Ray Hubbard Bass Club finished up 2021 with our annual two day Championship on Lake O’ The Pines on November 13-14. Weather was cold in the mornings both days but light winds and lots of sun made for nice days to fish. Quite a few people qualified for this that did not come out, but we had 21 boats come out and fish. Keeper bites seemed pretty hard to get for a lot of teams although the extended hours on Saturday helped with bringing a bunch of limits in. By Sunday the top three teams had a pretty large separation from the rest of the pack and it took two great days to finish high. After we closed the scales on Sunday. the team of Chris Atkinson and myself finished out a dream season by taking the win with a two day weight of 37.98 pounds, just nipping the second place finishers Vince Burt and Mark Werner who had 37.42. We paid big bass money both days. Saturday it went to Ronnie Manning and Capp Peace who had a 5.59 and on Sunday, Preston Smith and David Horton had a 6.28.
That’s a wrap for 2021! Thanks to all my officers for a great year. David Mulkey, Cameron Laing, Shellye Crawford, Paul Spann, David Choate, Stan Browning, James Crawford and Chris Atkinson. We could not do this without your help. Thanks to our members for your participation all year long. Thanks to my friend and partner Chris for the best year of fishing I’ve ever had. Looking forward to 2022! Our schedule will be posted soon! Hope you come out to see what RHBC is all about next year!
