A RECORD YEAR:
Last month the ALL-TIME BIG BASS RECORD was beaten. This month the
Lake of the Ozarks winners set a record for the HEAVIEST WINNING
WEIGHT in 16 years of Hawg Hawler Tournament History. The previous
record was set in July of 1994 by Terry Haynie and Gary McFetridge,
with 20 fish at Pomme De Terre Lake. Their winning weight was 31.25
lbs. The old second place weight, which is now third place, and was
previously the Lake of the Ozarks top weight, was 30.17lbs posted by
Tom O’Connor and Rick Armstrong in April of 2000.
Neil Volkmann and Dave Sona set a new record with their winning Ozarks
weight of 33.8lbs. Their 12 fish creel was anchored by Neil’s 6.28lb
Big Bass (Saturday and overall). Neil and Dave were fishing up the
Little Niangua River, in muddy water. The story was that they went to
Wal-Mart on Friday night before the tournament and couldn't find that
secret lure, so they settled for a 5-pak of Neon Black Lizards for 60
cents. That is what they caught the majority of their fish on. They
also caught fish on watermelon lizards with red flake. Neil’s Big Bass
came on the trailer hook of a white spinnerbait (yes, white...in muddy
water)….oh, yes, and it was on his first cast, too.
Phillip Meyer had the Big Bass for Sunday, at 4.12lbs. It was caught
on a spinnerbait also.
General Report:
Aside from that, there were a number of other 3+ lb fish that were
brought to the scales. The BIG fish were biting. Other lures that
worked included c-rig lizard, white spinnerbaits, crawdad colored
Wiggle Warts, and Super Flukes (in that order). It seemed that most
fish were preparing to move onto the beds. A number of boats were
sight fishing with tubes, and working fish a long time before they
took the bait (tubes/lizards). Full results are available in the
“results” area.
Husbands vs. Wives:
Just for the record, this was definitely a tournament for the WIVES.
Of the husband/wife teams who fished, not one husband weighed in more
weight then his wife. Specifically Darla Ketcherside outfished John,
Tina Ritrovato outfished Frank, and Sam Boehm outfished Paul. Gary and
Donnie blanked. Congratulations Ladies.
BBQ at Oz:
The BBQ came off without a hitch, even in the rain. It seems there was
some confusion with the 11am starting time (see 2004 schedule), but
hopefully everyone got to eat. For the first time we actually had a
close approximation of the amount of food (usually we have enough left
over to feed a small army, but not this time). This year Lori
purchased the food, and was nearly right on the money. There was
plenty to eat for everyone with only a small amount left over. Lori,
if you play your cards right, you could have that job again. Big
Thanks go out to Bob Treadway, Terry Stanek, Lori Luzynski, Gary and
Donnie Eubanks, and the rest of the BBQ crew, for a job very well done
(in the rain).
Mark Twain next:
Mark Twain Lake is the site for the next Hawg Hawler Tournament. We
will be taking off from the “U” ramp access. This is the ramp over
what is called “Northfork”, just west of highway 107. Hope to see
everyone there.
