| The O.B.F.N. Junior anglers picked
back up at their 2nd stop on the Elite series Saturday,
July 28th at O’Shaughnessy Lake. Despite forecasts
calling for rain, 60 anglers arrived early ready to make
their next big catch. The day was kicked off with donuts,
juice, and coffee to get the morning started out right.
As anglers anxiously awaited what their day would bring,
boaters and contenders began to roll out in search of
a winning limit.
After a day of working hard with a slow bite, our anglers
made their way in to the boat ramp. With the rain still
holding out, the awards ceremony began. At the top of
the leader board for the 15-18 age group, was CJ Shaver
weighing in 5 fish at 7.87 lb. Corey Lindsey took 2nd
place with a catch of 3 fish at 5.47 lb and also walked
away with the Big Bass Award with a 3-pounder. Coming
in 3rd was Nathan Roush, not far behind Evan Gin taking
4th, and Cody Dawson rounding out 5th.
In our 11-14 age group, Logan Williams took the top
spot with 4 fish totaling 4.67 lb. 2nd place was awarded
to Gunner Pollitt followed by Colton Nichols, Ben Bunnell,
and Tyler Frazier.
A special thanks to Warren County Bass Masters for
holding the Kasting kids event.
As the awards ceremony came to an end, one of our talented
anglers, Ryan Thomas, provided us with entertainment
as he announced our 50/50 winners. Watch out Todd, we
may have a future announcer on our hands! Thank you
for your donations as we had record sales for 50/50
tickets and your contributions count in making these
tournaments memorable for our Junior anglers!!
