The 2018 Tournament of Champions (TOC) capped off an excellent season for the Baltimore Metro Reservoir Anglers. The fishing was pretty tough on Liberty Reservoir, for most (if not all) competitors. The team of Craig Gordon and Holden Wolfe had a strong 2-day showing, with biggest bags each day for a total of 21.98 Lbs and the championship victory. Bobby Standiford and Dana Seipp took a strong second place with a total of 17.12 pounds. The Day 1 Largemouth lunker was won by the team of Waino Anderson and Ron Wolfe with a 3.01 pound largemouth. The Day 1 Smallmouth lunker was won by the team of Martin Cribb and Ken Denbow with a 2.70 pound smallie. The Day 2 Largemouth lunker was won by the team of Don Kosdemba and Gargy Gangi with a 3.96 pound largemouth. The Day 2 Smallmouth lunker was won by the team of Craig Gordon and Holden Wolfe with a 1.72 pound smallie.
Congratulations to the winners and to all competitors.
Thanks go out to our sponsors, including Anglers Express, The Finishing Touch, and Lew's fishing (through Matt Elliott) who donated 3 rods and 2 reels for our annual meeting raffle. Thanks to Craig Gordon for his work on our web site. Thanks to the members of the board, Bobby Standiford, Holden Wolfe, Max Marchant, Matt Elliott, and Dan Champness, for all of the help that makes this club possible.
The annual Icebreaker Open tournament big fish will be held at Liberty reservoir on Sunday December 2nd. We expect to have a big showing at this event. More information to come.

I am extremely happy to report that in the entire 2018 regular tournament season Baltimore Metro Reservoir Anglers was able to keep fish mortality to only 2 fish. That represents 6 tournaments, each with 23 teams competing. There were 533 fish weighed in. That represents an immediate mortality rate of 0.375 percent (roughly 1/3 of a percent). I can confidently predict that delayed mortality was also extremely low, having weighed all of those fish, the weigh-in team saw extremely healthy fish, almost exclusively. GREAT JOB to our anglers for taking excellent care of their fish this year!!!!!
