I managed my way into it this year to again fish for the WBA. Looking forward to a repeat performance from last year. If you ain't first your last!

Come on now... Where's the two time champs at (Evergreen)? I can always count on Chad Simon for some half ass effort to smack talk? Or what about some guys from North End, Castmasters or Puyallup? Are you really going to just sit aside and watch us win again this year without any kind of retort?

By the way - For those of you that know me, you know I don't typically talk any trash, but this tournament always seem to be good for a little ribbing to help stir things up and keep them exciting.

WBA won last year and I barely caught anything! I'm due to have a good day at the fish off at some point! When that happens, we won't just win, it will be a blowout!

Evergreen wins every other year right? Which would make this one of our years. I think everyone realizes this, and that's why there's no banter...

We've got some secret weapons, some low profile folks who are fishing really well on every lake they go to.

Enough said.

Well first I would like to start off by thanking Puyallup Hawg Hunters, Castmasters, North End, and WBA for coming out to the 2013 Club Fish Off.  This year we only had 4 clubs out competing for the title, and it was WBA for the 2nd year in a row bringing it home! Every team grinded through a day of tough Lake Sammamish fall fishing and braved the threat of 40mph winds, and that's AWESOME! The team outcome went like this

1st. WBA with 30.25lbs after 1 dead fish penalty

2nd. Puyallup with 22.91lbs after 1 dead fish penalty

3rd. North End with 17.56lbs

4th. Castmasters with 17.18lbs

The Individual outcome went like this

1st. Tony and Troy of WBA total weight 12

2nd. Shawn and Kevin of Puyallup total weight 11.20

3rd. Mike R and Steve of WBA total weight 9.66

4th. J. Lind and S. Gutsalo of North End total weight 8.92

BIG FISH Honors went to the team of Byron and Pat from Castmasters

I want to be sure and thank all of our sponsors for providing such an outstanding raffle. 3 Rivers Marine, Limit Out Marine, Wave Away, KGM Custom Baits, Fisher Brothers Baits, Sniper Lures, Kevin Jones with Sunline, Big Bite, and RatlTrap, Bass Pro Shops, and Fetha Styx.  If you guys don't support these companies you are way off line.  These are the guys keeping bass fishing going in WA!

See you all next year on Lake WA a bit earlier in October for a WBA 3peat! Evergreen, Western, St. Helens where ya at??? Come on out next year this is a fun tournament and we really missed ya this year!
