The Coffee County Youth Bass Club kicked off the fall season on Saturday with a club fishing tournament on Nickajack Lake. The club tournament allows the members to fish against one another to build points toward earning a state tournament bid in the spring. The club also awards prizes to members.
The boat of Colby Thurmond and Braeden Thurmond came in first place with a total of 2.04 pounds. That was just barely enough to edge out the second place boat of Taylor Fletcher and Blake Mangrum who had a total weight of 2.02 lbs. The big fish award went to Braeden Thurmond who tipped the scales at 2.04 pounds for his bass.
Club members will have the opportunity to return to Nickajack this Saturday to compete in the Tennessee Bass Nation trail event. The next club event is scheduled for October 15th at Tims Ford.
