NEWS FLASH! 2013 TBF Nationals Championship
Grand Lake, Oklahoma April 8-13, 2013 By Keith Cleary Below is a recap of my experience at the 2013 TBF National Championship. This culminates a 2 year qualification process which began by fishing the 2011 TBF of Connecticut tournament trail. That year I finished first in the "C" Division, and qualified to fish as a boater at the last years Eastern Divisional, held on Lake Champlain. After three solid days of fishing at the Divisional, I qualified to fish this year's TBF National Championship. Not bad for $225 in entry fees for the 2011 trail. CLICK TO READ MORE 
2013 TBF NationalsThe TBF National Championship was held this year on Grand Lake in Grove OK. I have been fortunate to have won my Divisional and go to the Nationals for the 2nd year in a row. This year TBF has changed the format to include two additional practice days in addition to the one official practice day normally given. It allows the two contenders from the state to go together and fish and explore the lake that most likely they have never fished on before. So on practice day one we were going to fish the coves looking for what might be some warmer waters. We were able to find about 10 keepers that day and some of good size. CLICK TO READ MORE

The first TBF Junior tournament for the 2013 season was held on April 21 on Lake Lillinonah. The anglers were faced with 32 degree air temperature and very strong winds. Despite the tough conditions, a few anglers were able to land fish. Although a rough day, 4 of the 8 anglers brought fish to the scales. The top finisher was Shane Losonci with a two fish weight of 6.7 pounds; including a monster 4.9 pound smallmouth. Shane took home both gifts cards donated by Newtown Bait & Tackle for having the lunker and heaviest bag for the tournament. Ryan Kusmit had 2 smallmouths for 2.6 pounds, Peter Wilson weighed in a 2.1 pound largemouth and Jake Budris with a 1.4 pound smallmouth. The rest of the field gave it all they had but the fish would not cooperate. Special thanks to Joe Rackiewicz, Dominic Gambardella, and Jeff Masaiko for volunteering their time and boats to take these anglers out for the day
