Dave Knuth Scores Big
(posted July 13th, 2010 -Story and info from Jerry Pape)
Dave Knuth, Vice President of our Nebraska Federation won the Truman Lake Big Bass Bash held on Truman on June 26th and 27th. As typical with many big bass tournaments, weigh-ins were held throughout the day at various locations on the lake.
On Saturday, Dave weighed in three different fish that resulted in tournament dollars including the big fish of the tournament. Dave caught the 7 lb. 11 ounce monster during the 11 AM - 1 PM weigh-in period. When Dave first got the fish to the boat, he thought it was close to 10. Although not quite 10, it was still an impressive fish resulting in the big prize of $11,000.
The fish was located in a cedar tree off of a main lake point. The other two fish Dave weighed on Saturday netted him an additional $425, making the winnings for the event total $11,425. Not bad for a weekend trip to Truman. Congratulations, Dave!

Hays Bass Anglers Association's 10th Annual Big Bass Challenge
August 21st, 2010 - Wilson Reservoir, KS
It's time once again to mark your calendars for the Hays Bass Anglers Association 10th Annual Big Bass Challenge - August 21, 2010 to be held at Wilson Reservoir, KS. 80% payback.
Due to declining water levels/bass fisheries, we have moved this event from Cedar Bluff to Wilson . With the move, we anticipate better fishing and more boat entries which means greater prizes.
The HBAA Big Bass Challenge is a unique tournament in which prizes are awarded on an hourly basis with the grand prize going towards the biggest fish weighed in for the day. In addition to cash prizes, there will be a free BBQ dinner for all contestants. With this format, you are just 1 bite away from winning it all!

Very Sad News
(Posted July 20th, 2009)
On July 17th, 2009 we lost a very longtime member of Douglas County Bassmasters. Dick Herringer died on Saturday night on Table Rock Lake via a boating accident. His wife Sue was with him at the time but was not hurt.
He died while doing something he truly loved, was with the love of his life, and died without suffering. It is a sad day and I will miss him.
The visitation for Dick's funeral will be Wednesday July 22nd from 6 PM to 8 PM at Bellevue Memorial Funeral Chapel, 2202 Hancock, Bellevue, NE 68005 (402) 291-5000. The funeral service will be Thursday July 23rd, 2009 at 10:00 am at the same location. A lunch will follow.
Sue told me that anyone who wishes to say a few words about Dick will be invited to do so during the funeral service. I am planning on doing so though it will be brief.
You all know what I know as of now. Please share this information with Dick's friends and acquaintances.

Legacy Lake News
(posted March 18th, 2009)
The Auburn Lake Company has launched a new and improved website for the Legacy Lake project. If you haven't heard about the project, they are working towards building a 3000 acre lake just south of Pawnee City in Southeast Nebraska. The lake will be the 7th largest body of water in the state of Nebraska and the largest lake in the eastern half of the state.
Nebraska native and Bassmasters Classic champion Denny Brauer will be a design consultant when the lake is built and says, "When it gets to the building stage, that's where I'll come in. I'll be working in conjunction with Tetra Tech – they're the people who'll actually be building the lake."
The initial plan is to stock the lake with bass, bluegill and catfish. "We'll definitely lean toward the best habitat for largemouth bass, without a doubt." says Brauer. "I will make the 3000 acres of Legacy Lake fish like a 6000 acre lake."
Visit the Legacy Lake website at http://www.legacylakenebraska.com for much more information on the project, including project details, maps, regional water information, and a forum where you can voice your opinions and ask questions about the lake.
