Three Times a King

August 15, 2020 0 Comment

Our annual Three Lake Throwdown is in the books!

Thirty-one of us split the three lakes, ten each at Snipatuit and Agawam Mill, and eleven at Glen Charlie. Mother Nature walloped us pretty good with strong winds all day and intermittent light rain, which made it relatively chilly for those of us who stupidly believed the forecast and wore shorts and a T-shirt.

Overall, it seemed to be a tough bite for most of us. I know it was for me. Lots of fish, but all small. Even the lone pickerel I caught was tiny.

Finding those bigger bites made all the difference today, and many anglers found it late in the day. Lots of movement on the leaderboard after the standings went off at noon.

In years past, typically one lake outperformed the others in this event. Today, they all produced equally. Out of the top ten, three fished Snipatuit, three fished Agawam Mill, and the remaining four fished Glen Charlie. And the top three each fished a different lake.

As such, the bonus winnings from the increased entry fee will go to top three anglers.

Here’s how it all played out…

Pickerel Lunker: Kelvin Nova (aka Medicen Rexx) (23.00)
Lunker: Kelvin Nova (21.00)

5th Place: Bruce Levy (79.75)
4th Place: Chris Catucci (80.00)
3rd Place: Wally Ultsch (81.00)
2nd Place: Valber Santos (82.00)
1st Place: Joseph Daddeo (89.00)

D’Addeo crushes it yet again! This is his third win with us this season and, according to TourneyX, his eighth overall. Beast mode! Valber is crushing it this year as well, placing in the money at all but one event (New Bedford Reservoir).

Great job, guys! Well deserved.

Check out the full results.

With the upcoming KBF Trail event on Lake George and the KBF SuperTrail event on China Lake/Messalonskee Lake, our next event isn’t until September 19, on Lake Maspenock. So hang tight.

Oops! Almost forgot (as usual): thanks for judging, Kevin!

Very Close Finish

May 19, 2018 0 Comment

Winter temperatures greeted us this morning as we geared up for the third MAKB event of the year at Agawam Mill Pond. (Seriously. It was 37 degrees in Taunton! Absurd.) With the promise of rain, we anticipated a pretty uncomfortable day.

Twenty-one anglers were brave enough do battle with Mother Nature.

Fortunately, it warmed up somewhat and the rain held off until around noon, and even then it was little more than a sprinkle. Still, the cold morning temps and rain from the night before did us no favors (nor did the herring or the post-spawn conditions).

With water temps ranging from a ridiculous 53 degrees (likely just surface temps, but still…) to 62 degrees, the bite proved tough for a lot of us. Of those who caught fish, most caught small fish.

As always, though, some guys found quality bass when others could not.

Big fish were hard to come by. Five 17-inchers, one 19.25—caught by Julio Lopes—and 89 smaller fish. Julio obviously had lunker for the day.

He also came in fifth place, with a solid 73.75. Good job, man!

Chris Diranian put up 74.50 and nabbed the fourth-place slot, while Peter Arruda’s 75.75 landed him in third for the second tournament in a row.

For most of the day, one angler sat atop the leader board. That was Kevin Amaral Jr. But while a win seemed all but certain early on, another angler had other plans…

Just before 1 PM, Troy Brown culled out a 10.75 with a 12.75, giving him 76.50 inches and the victory—by a half inch!

Very nice finish, fellas! And congrats on your first MAKB victory, Troy!

Complete standings can be found here.

Thanks for coming out, everyone, especially considering it was supposed to rain most of the day. We appreciate it! Great time, as always.

Our next tournament is this coming Saturday at Great Herring Pond in Plymouth. The event page is live now. Register quickly, as it will most likely max out.
