Tue, 03/20/2018 - 10:47am — Diane Dyer

Butler County Bassmasters began their 30th season at the Peabody WMA with the 2018 Kick-off Open sponsored by CRT Sports and Monogram on Saturday, March 17^th. Fishing was exceptionally tough with multiple fronts moving in on top of one another. Peabody WMA usually provides excellent early season opportunities for big bass, but the weather really put a damper on the size of fish weighed in. 24 boats participated in the tournament with

John Keown of Ohio County taking 1^st place with 10.16 lbs.,

2^nd Jimmy Leach and Garrett Leach 9.36 lbs.,3^rd Paul Cook and Eddie Cook 7.05 lbs., 4^th David Coleman and Ryan Coleman 5.87 lbs. Big bass of the tournament went to Jimmy Leach and Garrett Leach with a 3.89 lb largemouth.

The next BCB event will be the first regular season tournament at Lake Malone State Park on Saturday March 24^th. The tournament starts at 7:00 AM with weigh-in at 3:00 PM. Entry fee will be $40.00/boat. The annual $10/person membership fee is required to fish this tournament. Come on out for a great day of fishing.

BCB would like to thank all of our members and 2018 sponsors: Southern Outdoors, Cabela’s, Beech Tree News, Jackson Chiropractic, CRT Sports & Monogram, and Interceptor Bait Company, for their commitment to the sport of bass fishing and our community. BCB is looking forward to a great 30^th year of fishing and fellowship in 2018.
