“HOOK, LINE and SINKER” By Ricky McNiel, Reporter

Another year is in the books and we all made it to the end. Congratulations to Wayne Hale on winning the Big Bass of the Year Award. Also, congratulations to Brian Langner on winning the Top Weight Award again this year. Laura Langner was able to sneak into the Top Ten by passing Gonzalo Nandin who was unable to fish in the tournament in December. I have not fished since August and I am looking forward to 2016 and hopefully Donnie and I will be able to fish more this next year. This newsletter makes 13 years that I have been writing the newsletter for the club and hopefully I will be able to make it one more year before I lay down my pen. It has been a lot of fun but there comes a time when it is time to move on. Please RSVP to me by the first of January for our upcoming banquet and awards ceremony. Good luck on Falcon in January I hope that all of you and your families have a Great Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

WAYNE HALE-8.57 LBS.

Fred En-riquez won 1st on Sun. & Big Bass with this 2.70 lb. fish. He had two for 4.90 lbs.

Webb Berry was third on Sunday on Amistad with three fish for 4.48 lbs.

The turnout for our December

tournaments was pretty light;

but that is expected this time

of year. The slow fishing on

Amistad was also a contrib-

uting factor to the low turn-

out. We had eleven anglers

compete on Saturday, Dec. 5,

2015 and on Sunday we had

thirteen anglers. Fishing was

slow overall and the fish that

were caught were small keep-

ers. The weather for the tour-

naments was not particularly

cold; but the wind blew ex-

tremely hard and made for

some pretty unpleasant condi-

tions during the tournament.

Brian Langner won top hon-

ors on Saturday with a three

fish limit of 6.30 lbs. Laura

Langner, fishing in Division I,

came in second with two fish

totaling 3.57 lbs. Third place

went to France D’Spain with

two fish weighing 3.55 lbs.

Vick Tucker managed to catch

the Big Bass of the Day that

weighed 2.76 lbs.

Fred Enriquez won 1st and

Big Bass on Sunday with two

fish totaling 4.90 lbs. His Big

Bass weighed 2.70 lbs. Second

place went to Brian Langner

with three for 4.59 lbs. Third

place went to Webb Berry

with three fish weighing 4.48

lbs. The club caught and re-

leased 14 fish on Saturday

that weighed a total of 27.47

lbs. Sunday the total number

of fish caught and release was

19 and the total weight was

32.91 lbs.

The next club meeting will be

in conjunction with our An-

nual Awards Banquet which

will be held on Saturday, Jan-

uary 9, 2016. The event will

start at 6:00 pm with the

meeting and we will serve a

meal at 7:00 pm. The location

of the meeting will be the Los

Alamos Downtown Center at

128 W. Main St. in Uvalde.

Please RSVP to McNiel by

January 1, 2016. We will be

collecting dues the night of

the banquet for 2016. McNiel

can be reached at 830-591-

3757. We will elect new offic-

ers that night and hand out

the 2016 schedules and rules.
