Chris Lang with his 6.20 Lb lunker largemouth. The team of Mike Atwood and Chris Lang won the lunker award and nearly captured the Loch Raven all-time biggest tourney lunker.
This bass is just 2/100 of a pound lighter than the biggest Metro tournament bass caught at Loch Raven in 2007 by Russ Ashwell and Steve Snyder.

Loch Raven Reservoir Tourney Was Ground Breaking!

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 08/06/2018 - 08:16

A light rain during check-in evolved into a hot sunny Saturday for our third tournament of 2018. Twenty three teams competed on 8/4/18. Loch Raven reservoir provided a lot of big bass and one record setting bag. Congratulations to the tourney champions, Craig Gordon and Holden Wolfe on a record setting 5-fish limit weighing 22.92 Lbs. That is a 4.584 pound average weight per fish, which is an all-time record average weight for any limit of 5 fish or more. In second place was the team of Rubin Holbrook and David Holbrook with a fantastic 19.96 pound 5-fish bag. Third place was won by the team of Waino Anderson and Ron Wolfe with another great 5 fish limit that weighed 18.88 Lbs. The monstrous tournament lunker largemouth, weighing 6.20 Lbs., was caught by the team of Mike Atwood and Chris Lang. This is just .02 pound under the Loch Raven all-time Metro tournament record, caught in 2007. There were no smallmouth bass caught. Congratulations to all of the winners. Thanks to all of our teams for excellent fish care. Eighty one fish were weighed in and Eighty of those fish were returned to the reservoir alive. Very good fish care! Thanks to Holden Wolfe, Bobby Standiford, Matt Elliott, Max Marchant, and Ron Wolfe for all of the help in tourney preparations, check-in and weigh-in. An additional thanks to our sponsor Anglers Express. We truly appreciate the support!

A light cloud cover, and occasional very light rain, provided the backdrop for our second tournament of 2018. On 7/15/18, Prettyboy reservoir proved to be challenging for many teams, but 19 of our 23 teams managed to grind their way to a limit. Congratulations to the tourney champions, Chad Wisner and Mark Onheiser (substituting for Lenny Wisner). Chad and Mark weighed-in a 15.50 Lb. 5-fish limit. An excellent effort. In second place yet again was the team of Eric Holmes (owner of world renowned Anglers Express) and tourney partner Jason Eaton, with a solid 5-fish bag weighing 15.00 Lbs, including the 4.90 Lb. tournament lunker largemouth. Third place was grabbed by the team of Matt Elliott and Victor Rini with an extraordinary 3 fish bag weighing 14.90 Lbs. The tournament lunker smallouth, weighing 2.11 Lbs., was caught by the team of Greg Bell and Nick Vito. Congratulations to all of these winners. Thanks to all of our teams for excellent fish care. Ninety nine fish were weighed in and all ninety nine of those fish were alive and in great shape when returned to the reservoir. Great fish care! Thanks to Holden Wolfe, Bobby Standiford, Matt Elliott, and Max Marchant for all of the help in tourney preparations, check-in and weigh-in. An additional thanks to our sponsor Anglers Express.
