Message from the President:

The Raffle at the Nov. meeting netted $31.00 for the "Top Six Fund". This a good start and we have several months to go before the Tournament of Champions in May. Lets all do what we can to make it worthwhile to be in the Top Six. I for one will bring something to contribute to this fund at the next meeting. Remember, the Top Six represent the "Hawg Hunters" so how about all us "Hawgs" supporting them. I know you will and so will I. Good fishing.
See you at the December meeting.

Wally

November Tournament:

The November tournament was held on the Tensaw River out of Cliff's Landing. There were 23 Hawg Hunters and 1 guest present to fish at safe daylight. The air temperature was hovering around 40 degrees, the skies were cloudy and the liquid sunshine was coming down all day.
The weather was miserable and six Hawg Hunters headed home early. There were a couple of Hawg Hunters that decided they had enough and headed inside to watch the Iron Bowl game. At weigh-in their were 27 fish weighed in for a total of 39.10 lbs. It was Brian Metcalf who would come in with the only limit of the day weighing in at 11.20 lbs. Brian also took big fish for the day weighing in a lunker at 3.55 lbs. Stacy Blackburn brought three fish to the scales with his biggest going 2.30 lbs giving him a total weight of 5.25 lbs. Mitch Gardner brought three fish to the scales weighing in at 3.90 lbs. Rich Cornelius brought five fish to the scales, but one of them was short and he lost his big fish yielding him 3 fish to weigh which came to a total eight of 3.10 lbs. Congratulations goes to Brian Metcalf who has picked up where he left off from last years fishing season. Stacy Blackburn, Mitch Gardner, Rich Cornelius, Fred Raby and Randy Cole rounded out the top six. Great job fishing to everyone. Hopefully everyone has had the opportunity to thaw out and not come down with the flu..
