1st Place Mike Parmentier and Larry Rutledge	2nd Place Ted and Teddy Reim	3rd Place Dave Sona and Neil Volkmann

I predict that this will be the year we break all of the previous records. We begin this tournament season with 119 members. That is a “before the first tournament” membership record. We have 52 members who were not members in 2005. That shatters the previous record for new members set in 1999 when we had 35 new members. We are well on track to destroy the previous membership record of 159 members. Our first tournament of the year had 49 boats. That breaks the previous record set in 2002 when we had 45 boats at the March LOZ Tournament. This is going to be a great season.

Winning Anglers

Rising waters and less than perfect water conditions could not deter 98 anglers from attending the first tournament of the year.

Mike Parmentier and Larry Rutledge hawled in 4 fish, including a kicker of 4.29lbs, for a total of 6.87lbs to take home 1st place and $324.00. They reported using Green Pumpkin Brush Hogs.

2nd place was won by Ted and Teddy Reim. Teddy weighed in the big bass of the tourney at 6.04lbs. Ted added another “keeper” to raise their total to 6.30lbs. Ted & Teddy took home $238.00 for their 2nd place finish and $393.00 for Big Bass for a total of $631.00. Teddy used a Crawdad Wiggle Wart to Hawl in the Hawg

The 3rd place winners, Dave Sona and Neil Volkmann, brought in 5 fish for a total of 5.58lbs and took home $186.00 for their effort. Dave & Neil reported they used Watermelon Brush Hogs.

38 anglers caught a total of 64 fish. Please see below for a complete list of finishers.

All of the spots for Tournament Directors have been filled except for Wappapello – September – Sunday and Pomme De Terre – May -- Saturday. Please help us fill these last two spots. We have received a number of requests for Teams to serve as TD’s more than once. Unfortunately, we cannot award more than one TD spot to the same Team until after June 1. We have started a waiting list for Tournament Director spots. This list will be used to fill any outstanding or new openings for Tournament Director.

Club Business

As HawgHawlers Bass Club officers, our primary objective is to provide our members with a professionally managed club. We received a number of comments regarding the standard we established in the organization and efficiency of the Clearwater Tournament. We set the standard very high. We believe, and the positive feedback indicates, that we lived up to that high standard. We were very efficient at Clearwater but the weighin at that lake is easier in that it is not necessary to measure fish. We are concerned that our efficiency may suffer when we add measuring fish at the LOZ Tournament. The club is growing fast as was evidenced by the number of records we have already broken. We have also added a laptop to record weights during weighin in an effort to increase the efficiency both during and after the tournaments. The Officers were all fully involved at the Clearwater weighin so adding measuring fish at the other tournaments is going to require another person. The Officers have therefore decided to add another Officer position. We have created the position of Co-Tournament Chairman. We have contacted Terry Stanek and he has agreed to help us out and fill the new position. Terry has been a HawgHawlers member for 19 years and was part of the original group that founded this club. Terry also has 6 years experience as a HawgHawler Officer. He will definitely be an asset to our officer team.

As a reminder, the optional 50\50 Big Bass side pot cannot be paid with your mail in registration.  It must be paid at the lake.
