Re: Bounty Hunters Bass Club January Tournament Date: Saturday January 10,2004 Location: Shiloh Landing Lake Bruin The Bounty Hunters held their first tournament for 2004. The location was Shiloh Landing, Lake Bruin Louisiana. Once again club members arrived at the landing only to face Old Man Winter Square in the face. Conditions were cold and windy with the mercury dipping bellow freezing. A heavy frost developed and some boats looked like they had snow on them. Water Temperatures were reported anywhere from 48-52 degrees with a rising barometer. Club members had until 3:00pm to get the Wiley old Bass to the scales. Each member could weigh in a total of five bass that had to be over 12 inches in length. Even with the tough conditions a large number of bass were caught with most members bringing in a five fish limit. Fish were caught on lipless crank baits, jigs, tubes and spinner baits. All fish were released back into the lake.

The top six winners are as follows:

1. Vernon Silver 5 fish 11.71 lbs 2. Troy Poret 5 10.04lbs 3. Mitch Cabrera 5 9.88lbs 4. Alvin Anding 5 8.79lbs 5. Ray Roberts 5 8.32lbs 6. Johnny Moore 5 8.05lbs

The Top 10 for the year are as follows:

1. Vernon Silver 23.71 pts 2. Mitch Cabrera 21.88 3. Alva Anding` 20.79 4. Ray Roberts 20.32 5. Johnny Moore 20.05 6. Percy Bueche 19.32 7. Alvin Kent 18.84 8. Louis P. Genusa 18.70 9. Brian St. Romain 18.27 10. Heath Goins 17.24 The next monthly tournament will be a Bayou Pigeon Landing on February 14.
