6th Annual Club Classic Russo's Marina - October 16, 2010 on The California Delta The Club Classic is back! This year we want to make it bigger and better than ever. The Club Classic started a few years ago as the Northern California Club Classic or NCCC. The winner every year would host the next years event. This worked well for a few years and we had our biggest event in 2008 when we attracted 11 teams--66 boats--to the tournament at Russo's Marina on the California Delta. Due to the economy in 2009, the NCCC committee had difficulty getting the event off the ground. Delta Bass Club decided in July 2009 to resurrect the NCCC as the Club Classic. With the short time we had to work with, we were able to put together a small but fun event at Orwood Resort that you can check out at the bottom of this page. This year we are opening up the Club Classic to every legitimate Bass Club west of the Mississippi. We want your Top 12 anglers--six teams--to come out to the California Delta on October 16, 2010 to Russo's Marina in Bethel Island, CA and compete for the title of Best Bass Club in The West. We hope to make one of the biggest bass fishing events of the year. We are also seeking sponsors for the Club Classic. So if you would like to reach a bunch of fisherman with your product or service, please contact us using the form below. The rules and registration forms are located below.

The Club Classic pulled 30 boats (5 Clubs) and the best bag of 5 fish was
13.80 lbs and big fish was 6.85 lb landed with swim bait. The bite was though out on the Delta but a good time was had by all! Through out the weigh-in the lead for best "Club and Bragging Rights" kept changing. Mike Reynolds and Gene Buchholz kept the suspense going until the last Club team weighed in. It went from Bass Classics of Santa Clara to Delta Bass Club and over to Fresno Bass Club. Mike Reynolds was telling everyone that Fresno Bass Club just went into the lead with their last team weighing-in as the Delta Bass Club was weighing-in their last team. Only 1.75 lbs separated the top two teams. Thanks Mike Reynolds and Gene Buchholz for being our MC's and keeping anticipation of who won! It was a close finish that was announced right after the BBQ! The winning club was the Delta Bass Club with a total weight of 39 lbs Second place was Fresno Bass Club with 37.25 lbs Third place was Bass Classics of Santa Clara with 35.25 lbs Santa Clara Bass Busters had 30.40 lbs Westside Anglers had 23.00 lbs. First Big Fish went to Bob Johnningsmeir of Westside Anglers and we did something new in giving out awards - Jack Clark was Bob team partner and did the job of netting - both received flipping rods from Mel Cotton's Sporting Goods in San Jose. Second Big Fish went to Cliff Woods of Fresno Bass Club (and he was catching fish all day and he gave out the secret after some arm twisting by Mike Reynolds) with a 5.25 landed with a 1/4 oz jig on 10 lbs Fluoro. He received a rod and Hat from Kittles Outdoors in Colusa. The Largest Bag (13.80 lbs) was again Cliff Woods and his team partner Scott Smith - they were hooked up with two reels from Mel Cotton's Sporting Goods in San Jose. The Smallest Bag (?? Lbs) went to Bob Williams and Joe Heylen of Santa Clara Bass Busters and to help them out for next years Club Classic they got Danny Miller Punching Weights - a complete set for each. The BBQ was provided by Waazuu and we are not just talking about one type of meat - we had Links, Hot Links, Chicken, Ribs and Prim Rib plus some other stuff that rabbits eat. I over heard Mike Reynolds say it is quiet as the anglers ate - they were to busy eating - you could hear a pin drop. Look for Waazuu to be at a lot of other Tournaments. This year the Club Classic was put together in just two months and that is getting a permit and finding out we scheduled on top of WCB. We had to change the Venue so every one could fish. Next years Club Classic is being planned now and it is going to be the biggest and best Club event of the year! Take note it is just called Club Classic meaning any Club from out West can come and try to be the best! I know of five clubs that will be coming back! I would like again to thank our "Sponsors" for stepping up in the short time to set up this Club Tournament! 1. Bass West USA Magazine (everyone fishing will receive a "Basswest Magazine). 2. Mel Cotton's Sporting Goods in San Jose 3. Kittles Outdoors in Colusa 4. Danny Miller Punchin Weights 5. Waazuu 6. Total Tunes DJ Service Last but not least are all of the volunteers that helped out - without them it is hard to put on an event like this! |
