2001 Fun Fishing Tournament
Tournament of Champions

LAKE Greenbelt, September 2001

Lake Greenbelt Sept Fun Fishing Results
Amarillo's BOB FULGHAM used a white Titanic spinnerbait at the Sept. 8th Fun Fishing Tournament on Lake Greenbelt to catch 2 smallmouths and a largemout bass that totaled 6.72 lbs. For his skillful efforts, Fulgham took home $460 and a trophy.

Second place (for the 3rd time in the last 4 tournaments) went to Claude's CHESTER HALES. Chester, who builds the OUGGIE Lures at his antique store on the Square in Claude used a 1/4 oz. black blade within a blade Buzzbait to catch a very nice 6.23 lb. black bass. He also broke off and lost another black that he says could have eaten the 6 pounder. Chester pocketed $184 and the hard luck story of the day.
Third place and $92 went to Amarillo's RON GADMAN with two bass that weighed 5.02 lbs.  
Only two regular Fun Tournaments remain this year. LAKE MEREDITH ON SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT 22 and then over to UTE LAKE on Saturday morning , Sept. 29th. A fishing license is NOT required in New Mexico during this tournament because of a State wide free fishing day. The entry fee is only $25, and all anglers are invited. For those anglers who earn their invitation by finishing in the top ten at any Fun Tournament AND enter at least 4 events, the 2001 TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS will be held on OCTOBER 13 -- at a lake to be announced.
Fall fishing in our area is terrific, so it is time hit the lake. Good Luck and Good fishing, everybody.
