the seemingly unbeatable team of PatX and MikeyD had to step down as reigning champs of Scully's Halloween Bash, as a bevy of deep fishing teams came up with some chunky fish to establish a new order, at least for this tournament this year!!!
Our own Palladin, and his henchman, Nicky "the Godfather" Albano put up close to 11 pounds on this tough day to take the title......
another of our NyBass faves: Gary Menchen came in 4th I believe with close to 9 and the irrepressible Nicky the Bass Rat and Kenny the hitman pulled in 5th with over 8........
Scully will post later with the official numbers and rankings......
what impressed me, was that despite the fact that many boats did not weigh or presented only one or two fish, there was a lot of quality fish at that weigh in......
a 4.7 LM took the lunker, followed by a beautiful 4.15 smallie caught by our own Jumpin' JOE Pido!!!!!
only one boat limited out in the whole pack!! but again, quality fish abounded...
there were MANY fish that were pulled out of 30 to 40 feet of water, on the bottom!!!
I hope that many of the teams will come on and talk about some of the tactics they employed and sites they tried.....
I know that Gary Menchen was a blade baiting fool out there today along with his son and that was what catapulted them into the money, Kenny also bladed up a big LM, so blade baits were definitely part of the equation today.......
as usual, there were always the occasional shallow fish, but today, I belive they were few and far in between......
got to meet many new faces including 5Bass.....
an exciting weigh in , as is always the case with this particular event!!!
