up the river. Saturday brought a severe cold
front with strong northeasterly winds gusting to 25mph for year end Classic

third was Rodney Upchurch with 8.61lbs.
Nine other anglers were within 2lbs of third place after day one. Day two Sunday was more of the same cold
north winds gusting to 20mph. Most fish
reportedly caught on moving baits. Day
one leader Lee Branham brought 7.94lbs to the scales for a two day total of
20.4. Congratulations Lee!!! Second place with a two day total of 17.61lbs
went to John Fravel, and third place went to the bass veteran Chuck Perry with

Federation Tournaments You Should Know About!
There are three Federation
Tournaments that will be hosted in October 2008 and either April or May of
2009. And many of you are fishing for a chance to enter them now!
They are the Mr. Bass
Tournament, The Chapter Team Tournament, and the Region 1 Fall Classic.
You can win entry in the Mr.
Bass Tournament by being one of the two best fishermen in Nova Bass Anglers. The Chapter Team Tournament is a two day
tournament at Kerr Reservoir and six of our club members will have the
opportunity to fish it. Region 1 hosts a Fall Classic Tournament for anglers that are in the top 20 at the end of the season.
Winning any of the Federation
Tournaments listed above will put you on the Virginia State Team. The Virginia Team is composed of the top two
finalists from the Mr. Bass tournament, the four top finalists from two Chapter
Team Tournament (Region 1 and 9), and the top two individuals from the Fall
Classic Tournament.
The Virginia Team will fish the Interstate Tournament and have their
expenses paid for (within limits). It’s a
very prestigious opportunity for TBF members—and it takes a lot of fishing
success to get there.
Our own Rob
Richards has made the Virginia Team by qualifying for, and winning the Chapter
Team Tournament at Kerr Reservoir earlier this year. Let’s wish Rob the best of luck upcoming at
the Interstate Tourney.
Frank Schlenter, John Fravel, and Mike Rush, are currently in the top 20 for Region 1.
Also
keep an eye in club standing for Club Kudos and trophies and
eligibility for the next Six Man team and Mr. Bass. Good luck to
everyone and let's have fun! Its a great club.
