Bass-N-Tubes
2002 US Open
The
2nd annual Bass-n-Tubes US Open was held at Clear Lake on
May 18th and 19th out of State Park. A whopping 67 anglers
hit the water hard for two days and when the dust settled,
former SCBBBC club president Andy Parsons was Mr. Consistent,
bringing in 15.53lbs for a hard earned win. Andy reported
catching his fish on rattle traps, fat free shad crankbaits,
and senkos. Andy worked hard in windy conditions and proved
that you don't have to have a kickboat to do well in this
club, beating out the field from his float tube. For his efforts
Andy went home with a brand new Creek Company kickboat!
Mitch Teman was a close second with a two day total of 14.79lbs.
Mitch focused on woody laydowns using a texas rig worm to
catch all of his fish. On day 2 Mitch brought the biggest
bass to the scales with a 4.91lb big fish. Mitch won a Kistler
swimbait special for his 2nd place finish.
In 3rd place, on the strength of the overall big fish of the
tournament was Rob Belloni. Rob caught his 7.92lber sight
fishing with a brush hog. He only had two other fish, one
on an Assalt jig and one on a 5" Big Hammer swimbait
but it was enough to hang on to 3rd place. Rob earned a Mark
Tyler special Kistler rod and a pair of Solar Bats from Bigfishtools.com
for 3rd place and big fish of the tournament respectively.
The
raffle was incredible, the camping was great, and even though
the bite was a little tough, the event was a resounding success.
