Tournament Recap – Jennings Randolph Lake – May 24, 2025

Our final spring club tournament is in the books! Thanks to all the teams who came out and competed on Jennings Randolph Lake this past Saturday.

A recent cold front and high skies made for challenging fishing conditions, but a few teams were able to adapt and grind out solid limits. While numbers were down across the board, some quality fish hit the scales—including a standout kicker that topped the field.

Top 3 Teams:

Cole Hess / Wyatt Hess – 5 Fish, 9.81 lbs

Tyler Brown/ James Roberts – 5 Fish, 5.41 lbs

Rick Lilley / Nathan Lilley – 5 Fish, 5.39 lbs

Big Fish:

Cole Hess / Wyatt Hess – 5.75 lbs

A great fish for Jennings Randolph and a big part of their winning bag!

Congratulations to everyone who toughed it out and found success under tough post-front conditions.

Deep Creek Lake Tournament Recap – April 27, 2025

Another Deep Creek Lake tournament is in the books! Thanks to everyone who came out and competed on Sunday. It was a grind out there—with a cold front, high skies, and the second season of the 18″–21″ slot limit all adding to the challenge.

1st Place – Frank Indoff & Jon Stanek

• 5 Fish – 12.25 lbs
• Took the top spot thanks in part to two fish over the slot—a rare feat on a tough day!

2nd Place – Carl Fekula & Guy Kaloz

• 4 Fish – 9.50 lbs
• Landed the tournament’s Big Fish with a tank weighing 5.40 lbs!

3rd Place – Tyler Brown & James Roberts

• 5 Fish – 7.77 lbs

The slot regulations continue to make strategy key and the post-front conditions didn’t do anyone any favors.
