We had to move the tournament from Sprague due to high winds but that didn't stop our top anglers from finding fish on Newman. Even through a wild weather system over the past week the fishing was better than expected with lots of quality fish hitting the scales. Big Large mouth was a 5.43 weighed by Darren Tabor. Big Small mouth was a 4.07 weighed by Ricky Jackson.

First place was Jamie Reese with 19.19
Second place was Jeff Turk with 17.02
Third was Darren Tabor with 15.35.

We are taking a break from club tournaments in May and looking forward to the Classic happening in just 2 weeks! if you aren't signed up please sign up and join us for our 10th Annual Long Lake Classic.

True to Spokane Bass Club fashion we started off the year as the fishing got tough. We launched our 2024 season on Moses Lake today with high hopes of big bass and heavy bags, and as the field soon found out the fish had other plans. The changing weather and rising water made for a tough, but beautiful, day on the water. Congratulations to the anglers who found good fish and grinded out the day looking for the bites that were few and far between.

First place was Jeff Turk with 17.5lbs
Second Place was David Slater with 16.21lbs
