Congratulations to Bryan Hudgens for winning this past weekends Columbia River (Wallula) WBC tourney.  Bryan and Phil battled 5-6 foot waves as they traveled down river 25 miles from the launch site to fish a particular spot Phil found at last years club tourney.   Phil stated that they caught some fish once they arrived  but weren't able to fish the area very effectively due to the high winds.  They decided then to run back up river where they ended up catching the majority of their fish for the weekend.  Bryan caught most of his fish on rattle traps while Phil caught most of his fish on grubs and tubes.

We only had 8 boats with 15 people fishing....not much of a turnout but everyone seemed to have a great time.  I realize Northwest Bass had a tourney on Crow Butte Saturday which most likely hurt our participation. 

Here are the results: 

I can't really remember what Bryan's winning weight was....I think around 16+lbs

1st  Bryan Hudgens
2nd Glenn May
3rd  Keri May
4th  Phil Hudgens
5th  Larry Sullivan

***Bryan certainly now has a great chance for AOY with two 1st place finishes

Its gone be a tight race. I guess I am going to have to get me one of those personal guides for Chelan so I can win it.
