TRUMAN TOURNAMENT

 

Hawg Hawlers Bass Club held our sixth tournament of the season this past weekend at Truman Lake. This was a tough tournament. Some short fish were caught but keepers were hard to find. Eight boats and 16 anglers weighed a total of 11 fish. Our 16th angler was honorary member Shorty Beckham. (Read more about Shorty below). Temperatures ranged from the high 70’s into the high 80’s. We had sunny to partly cloudy skies. The lake level was up about 4’ and falling. Water temperatures were in the low to mid 80’s and the water was heavily stained. The tournament took off out of the Osage Bluff Marina. The marina is a long time supporter of Hawg Hawlers Bass Club. They donated a two free night slip rental. Thanks Osage Bluff Marina! 
  
   

FIRST PLACE - KEN JONES AND BRIAN JANKOWSKI

 

Ken and Brian were able to pull out a first place win under extremely difficult conditions. The difficulties being the heat and the fact that the fish were just not cooperating. Brian weighed in a nice 2.33 pound bass on Saturday which was one of only four fish weighed in for the day. Brian’s fish won Big Bass for Saturday. This is Brian’s third Big Bass win so far this year and back to back first place wins (Brian and his dad Mike took first place at the Mark Twain tournament last month). On Sunday Ken and Brian weighed in one fish each. The team weighed in three fish for a total of 7.02 pounds. They caught their fish on top water poppers, crankbaits and four inch worms. The first place payout was $120. CONGRATULATIONS KEN AND BRIAN!

SECOND PLACE - RICHARD BECKHAM AND SHORTY BECKHAM

  
Rich had one of the four fish weighed in on Saturday and a nice 3.45 pounder Sunday to win Big Bass for the weekend. I’m not sure if Shorty put Rich on fish or was a good “netdog” but either way I’m sure he earned his portion of the winnings. The team weighed in two fish at 5.40 pounds. They were using green pumpkin purple brush hogs and green pumpkin magnum lizards. The second place payout was $76. (If you look closely at the picture you can see Shorty's check tucked into his collar.) CONGRATULATIONS RICH AND SHORTY!
