Sunday Jan 4 2009, James River …..Sunday because it was the last weekend of Deer season in Virginia. 9 Teams came to the City of Hopewell, for the 2009 kick off tournament for the Virginia Chapter. Everyone enjoyed seeing all their fellow catfishing friends. And a lot of new faces were there also, as 5 new members were signed up. Lets all welcome them. John T Loyd, Bryan Tilson, David Piszker Jr, Jason Amos, and Jason Peters. The 8:00 start time was a little wet, as a shower came thru, and everyone got to feel the sting of the rain in your face, as we rushed to our spots. But after about 15 mins, the rain stopped, and allthough it was cloudy, it was quit nice. Very little wind, and temps in the mid 40’s. Most teams were able to find a lot of fish. A total of 17 fish were brought to the scales, for a total weight of 570.4 Lbs, for a avg of 33.5 lbs per fish. There were 3 fish in the 50 lbs class, 2 fish in the 40 Lbs class, and 3 fish in the 30 Lbs class. 1st Place Dean Irwin and Richard Mills 45.8 + 49.4 = Total 95.2 Lbs They won $173.00 2nd Place Jeff Fink Sr and Jeff Fink Jr and Jessy Housden 55.6 + 29.6 = Total 85.2 Lbs They won $72.00 and $ 63.00 for 1st Big Fish 3rd Place Bryan Tilson and Michael Purks 51.8 + 25.0 = Total 76.8 Lbs They won $43.00 and $27.00 for 2nd Big Fish 4th Place David Piszker And Jay Butler 51.2 + 21.0 = Total 72.2 Lbs 5th Place John Dubbing and Rodney Lamm 36.0 + 23.8 = Total 59.8 Lbs 6th Place Russell Snyder and Art Divittorio and Matt Sims 34.8 + 20.6 = Total 55.4 Lbs 7th Place Jason Amos and Jason Peters and John Loyd 37.0 + 17.4 = Total 54.4 Lbs 8th Place Wayne Long and Stacey Long 28.8 + 18.0 = Total 46.8 Lbs 9th Place James Fields and Harry Wilhem and Robert Geiger 24.6 + 0.0 = Total 24.6 Lbs |
