GEORGIA BASS FEDERATION NATION CROWNS TWO STATE JR. CHAMPIONS

Lake Sinclair on March 15, 2008 and 19 kids ages 11-18 were wondering if the weather was going to allow the 2nd annual Ga. Federation Nation Jr. Classic to get underway. Fortunately, around 7:45 the tournament began and except for some wind and 15 minutes of light rain, the weather co-operated. It was a slow day and keeper fish were hard to come by, but, the contestants fished hard and gave it their best. Everyone displayed the highest degree of Sportsmanship and professionalism.

Congratulations to your two State Champions !

Dylan Peppers took 1st place in the 11-14 age group with a total weight 5.80 and Big Fish of 4.02 lbs.

Nick Jeter took 1st place honors in the15-18 age group, with 10.06lbs. and Big Fish of 4.34lbs.

There were two limits and a total of 29 Bass presented at the weigh-in, with a total weight of 40.13 lbs. Great job Guys!

All were treated to a Picnic with hotdogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks. Thanks to the volunteers and boaters that helped make the event a success.

2nd – 14th Place: Tony Beck, Mike Crowe, Carl Logan, Glen Harman, Ben Bennett, Bobby Ferris, Ricky Layton, Chris Moody, Jerry Needham, Jay Donahue, Andy Koundourakis, Roger Morrow, Brett Self
The first day of the tournament saw sunny skies and pleasant temperatures and to contradict day one, day two was about as opposite as could be, cold and rainy.
Although, the weather didn’t co-operate and many had to change their patterns, the fish didn’t shut down and that made the conditions more bearable for many. The first day total was 537.13 and 2nd day was 474.9 with a two day TOTAL of 1012.6 LBS. This averaged over 10.5 lbs. per participant.
Mike Marshall, the new state champion’s 2-day total was: 23lbs. 2 oz. totals.
Again, congratulations to Mike and members of the State Team!
