Our season opener on Lake George.  The first day leaders had solid 12+ lb limits, a bit lower than what most anglers were expecting to see at the scales.  The top 3 after one day of fishing were Jim Underhill (3rd place), newcomer David Black (2nd place) and leading, George Locke.  Lunker fish included a 3.64 lb LM caught by Jim Underhill and a 4.24 lb LM caught by Elisha Flint.

Day 2 weights were slightly lower overall.  Top 3 weights included Al Maher, Gene Lavigne and Frank Rossetti.  Second day lunker honors went to the Al's, with Al Dickinson's 3.74 lb LM and Al Maher's 3.84 lm SM.

The final weights were extremely close, with places 2-8 separated by only 1.09 lbs.  The top 3 positions went to Paul Pflieger (3rd), Matt Zapala (2nd) and bringing home the win, Gene Lavigne.

Congratulations on a great win Gene!

Our last event of the season was on Saratoga lake, and it was typical fall fishing where some were on them, and some were not. One of the people on them was our Vice President Frank Rossetti. Frank took home the win with a mixed bag weighing 12.46 pounds. Coming in second was the winner of the 2017 Bassman title, Al Dickinson with 11.49 pounds.

Ticonderoga in late July is usually a struggle, and this year was no exception. The bites were hard to come by to say the least, but when they did bite, the Ti quality showed out. Several anglers were able to put together two consecutive days with solid bags. Al Maher was at the top of this list as he repeated his 2016 victory this year with a 2 day weight of 33.03 pounds. Coming in second was the perennial co angler of the year, Frank Rossetti with 29.17, and finishing in third was Frank Polomaine with 26.74 pounds. Congratulations goes to them all.
