About Hawg Hawlers Bass Club...

Hawg Hawlers is a fun, affordable bass fishing club based out of the St. Louis area. We have members from all around Missouri, as well as other states. We conduct 8 to 10 buddy type tournaments per year on Missouri lakes.

The direction of the club includes a strong emphasis on friendly, affordable competition,improving our skills as anglers and increasing awareness of bass fishing - especially with children and young adults.Some of our regular teams consist of family members - husbands and wives, brothers, cousins, fathers and mothers fishing with their sons and daughters. At Hawg Hawlers it's about comradery and fun, not hardcore competition.It is not uncommon to see members discussing successful patterns before the tournaments begin.

Our organization has seven officers. Their responsibilities include organizing, scheduling, obtaining proper authorization for tournaments, allocating club funds, publicizing information to the club members and maintenance of this website. In order (L to R) President Jim Romaine, Vice-President Mark Svetina, Treasurer Rich Harper, Co-Vice President Craig Kuhn, Tournament Chairmen Chance Albertson & Andy Shands, Secretary Chris Himstedt.

Hawg Hawlers conducts eight to ten tournaments during the year, beginning in March and running through October (see our Schedule). They are formatted as "BUDDY" tournaments, with each boat consisting of a team of two-persons maximum. Most tournaments are held on Missouri Lakes. Our tournament fishing times are generally 6-8 hours on Saturday morning or evening and 6 hours on Sunday morning (allowing for two weigh-ins). Our summer tournaments are usually Saturday and Sunday mornings, to escape the summer heat.
