2009 Kerr Reservoir Trip Results

The groups that attended this year's trip were:  Fred Lentz & Rick Lentz; Scott Bowen & Bill Ridel; Mike Miller Sr & Mike Miller Jr; Bill Duckardt, Dennis Snyder & Jim Ohono; and John Chattley.  On this trip we held two lunker contests and one five-bass contest.  In general the fishing was fair, with all of the boats getting decent quantity, but no big ones brought in.  The water level was 301 to 302 feet which is pretty good.  The weather was warm, with periods of sun & clouds and only a few very brief showers.  The biggest bass brought in during one of the competitive sessions was a 2 lb 14 oz bass weighed in by Bill Duckardt.  The biggest bass caught might have been John Chattley's fish that he caught on Wednesday morning before most of the group arrived (see photo below).  Fantastic group meals were hosted on the four evenings by four of the groups.
