Central Division Championship, Eufaula Lake, Day 1 Results

Team Oklahoma jumps out to commanding lead at the end of Day 1 on Giant Lake Eufaula.  All 12 Anglers pitched in to help the Team weigh in a Day 1 Overall total weight of 82 lbs 13 oz with Dean Matts (5 fish 16-12) and Johnny Babb (5 fish 14-02) anchoring the Top 2 spots for Oklahoma on Day 1.

Matts weighed in a lunker weighing in at 6-07 to help his total weight and lead the Big Bass Optional Side Pot for most of the day.

 Near the end of todays weighin Kent Priel / Nebraska came across the stage and weighed a lunker sack that topped the scales at 16-15 to become the Day 1 Overall Leader, a mere 3 ozs over Dean Matts.

 Priel also weighed in a Lunker for Day 1 Big Bass Honors with a 6-15 Largemouth.

Four Oklahoma Anglers placed in the Top 10 to help boost Team Oklahoma’s Lead for State Honors on the 1st day of the Central Division Championship.

With only 5 lbs 1 oz between 1st Place and 6th Pl, all Anglers remained hush hush of lures used and methods of catching their limits.

The Word Of The Day Is HOT At The TBF SouthWest Division Championship, But It Mostly Applys To The Weather!

 

Just barely over 2 lbs separate the Top 20 Places after Day 1 of the SouthWestern Divisional Championship on Lake Havasu @ Lake Havasu, Arizona.

86 degree temperature was recorded at the 5:30 AM takeoff.   At the afternoon weighin the temperature was a smoldering 106 degrees.

Day 1 Tournament Leader Jesse Parks/Arizona is leading with a total weight of 15-00 and close behind 2nd Place is Josh Kaneko/California with 14-13.

Day 2 Results…… South Western Divisional Championship….

Todays event proved to be much the same as day 1.  22 Five Fish limits were brought across the scales today.  Daily Leaders only slightly changed positions and looking ahead for the Final Day, 1st Place with total weight of 30 lbs 7 oz is only 10 lbs ahead of 23rd Place so tomorrow looks like this could be anyone’s game to win.

On Day 2 Greg Gizzi /Colorado had the big sack and pushed his 2 day total to 30 lb 7 oz for a slight margin over 2nd Place Jesse Parks/Arizona 30 lbs even.

Two Years In A Row, Alabama Closes The Door on the TBF Southern Division Championship

Last year in  June 2013 the Alabama Bass Federation dominated the TBF Southern Division Championship on Lake Barkley at Clarksville Tennessee. The only thing that changed in a years time is the geography as Alabama dominated the TBF Southern Division Championship again this year on Lake Neely Henry and won the event going away with a three day total for their 12 team members combined weight of 362-02  which equates to a margin of win of a whopping 67 pounds and 8 ounces!

Second place is where the real race was as no one challenged Alabama.   Less than 2 pounds separated the second place squad from North Carolina (294-10)  from third place finisher Georgia (292-13). The next race was between 4th and 5th between Kentucky (278-02) and South Carolina (275-03) with only one legal fish separating the two. Winding up in sixth was Tennessee with 266-10 and in Seventh was Florida 260-10.

In the individual standings and the race for the division champions title the lead changed daily, Georgia angler Joe Eubanks led day 1 with 16-03, after that it was all Alabama anglers. Wes Logan led day 2, but it was Terry Tucker who hails from Gadsden, Alabama who finished atop the pile on the final day and claimed the division champions title and advancing to the 2015 TBF Federation National Championship as the boater from Alabama.

Under the TBF format the top angler from each state team advances as the boater to the championship and the second place angler from each state advances as a non-boater.  The championship anglers advancing from each state are:
