ORBT Championship Belpre 10/15/2016
I really have no words about the recent months of fishing on the river system; no rhyme or reason
for it; but congrats to all those who caught any keepers this Saturday and especially to Shayne and
Ben Lockhart for the Win with a limit of five largemouth @ 7.05 #’s. A close as you can get ; with
7.00 #’s was Tim Schwall and Mike Hanson. Big bass was a smallmouth checked in by Bryan and Jason
Suter @ 3.11 #’s. Points chase Champions for the second time in the ORBT was Johnny and Jonathan
Thompson with a total 555 points out of a possible 600; congrats for being so consistant. Second in
the points was Abe Collins and Brian Trunk; third Shayne and Ben Lockhart; fourth was Cecil
Schneider and Dan Holdren; fifth was Jerry Burkhart and Phil Gillian. Each of them were awarded a
plaque sponsored by Constitution Bait and Tackle. Polymer Services of Ohio sponsored the top five
finishers in the Championship. Ohio River Outdoors sponsored Big Bass $250.00; and Big Bass
plaques. Boggs Pizza and Grill supplied the drinks and Polymer Services the food. A new award was
started on the ORBT this year by Bobby, Cindy and Stephanie Thrasher. It’s for the largest bass
caught for the year, and was in memory of Matt Boggs who battled cancer but unfortunately passed.
Wendell Walker and Jeff Robinson won the award with a largemouth @5.15#’s. A special thanks to
my son Joe; and all of my ORBT staff; and those others that I recruited for the River Challenge; as
well as all my ORBT sponsors. Here are the top six teams.
