Another great event today. The 7th installment of the 2019 season. This event was presented by Installing The Holidays and we fished on MIL aka Mountain Island Lake. Reports a few weeks back were amazing. Lake on fire, big fish coming out, eating all baits…..well…today proved all that wrong. Fish were tough to come by for most. Big fish were few and far between. We started the day at 430am and we had 68 anglers come to compete for the monthly #qc1000 today. The weather was nice, clear skies, no wind, but it got warm. The water was 5-6 ft vis in most areas of the lakes. Reports from anglers had fish being caught on a variety of topwater presentations and a variety of soft plastics.

When it all shook out at 3pm, we added another winner to the train win wall. Graham Reay snatched his FIRST SATURDAY WIN today. So awesome. Super happy for him. He puts the work in month after month and he has been cashing checks these days! He wins today with 66.25 which includes the Emerald School of Excellence big bass prize with a 19.75 inchers. He walks away with $1225. 
Chris Goodwin keeps hot this month. He lives on MIL, fished it hard in preparation for this event and it all paid off today with a 2nd place finish worth $561. Ronnie Murphy is impressing the club with his consistent fishing every month. He wraps up 3rd and takes home $374. Nick Huddlestonhasn’t seen or lost to many 30inchers this month ;). He stayed to himself and cashed a big 4th place check today bringing home $265. Tim always cashing Sabella takes the Rusty Hooks Bait and Tackle free entry and turns it into a top 5 finish worth $180. Matt Hawj and PC Hawj continue amazing fish and take home 6th and 7th. Jay Park didn’t win a raffle so he figured he take home 8th place today! an Ab Vang jumps into 9th place and Jason Lowe plays bubble boy rounding out the top 10 for a free entry into the KFWC event on Norman. Congrats guys!!!!! If you cashed please post pics.

Matt and PC take home the MIL team division win today. Earning another $100. Thank you Lakeside Barbers and Hands On Installations.

Andy Myers goes back to back Yak Bass’n small bass 🏆 He catches a 5.25 worth $390!

Things get interesting in Sept. 7 events are in, the drops start now. Will you sneak into the Dynamic Health AOY race? Will you sneak into the top 15 TOC. We will be fishing for $4000* .
Will you earn a fish off seat? Jump into the wildcard? Who knows what Norman and Wylie will do to the standings. Going to be fun to watch.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ryan Hulsey, Brad, Mary Ferreri, and Ezzy Ferreri. Weigh-in was smooth as always. Quick and easy. Great food provided by ITH. Amazing.

We don’t have a trail event in Aug. We are fishing a charity event, benefiting Emerald School. Its a Kiddie rod event. Character push-button rods. Haha. Should be fun. Jason is the current kiddie rod champ. Will he be dethroned? Grand prize is a @nativewatercraft Slayer XC!!!! $40 entry fee. Takes place on MIL again (maybe changing) weigh-in, food, and ribbon cutting will be at Emerald school!!!

Anything you need just let me know. Ryan will be posting all results under files.

Big day for the club. Over 2 hours away from home for most of us and we still pulled 62 anglers! It was awesome seeing a bunch of new guys, and some guys I only see once in a while. Between Grady’s Great Outdoors and AirOne Heating and Air everything was awesome. Lowell Brannanwelcomed us to his lake, and at the end of the day, I think most guys had fun. After getting off the water, fresh hot BBQ was waiting for the hungry anglers. Hit the spot. 
Weds-saturday about 20 QC guys were camping in town and I gotta say, it was a blast hanging with you all off the water.

When the fishing started the weather was nice. Cool, calm and a good morning bite for most. Wind picked up a little, and the sun got warm, but all in all, mother nature cooperated.

Before I get into the winners I need to thank everyone who helps me during the day. My hands on team of Brad Cox and Ryan Hulsey. Perfect teamwork for sign in and weigh in. Jason Lowe, always willing to lend a hand, or a TV to the club. KeriandRyan Ratliff for grilling at 11pm last night. Guys who set the banner up, take pictures, see who’s coming in late. Its all very important and I just want you to know it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you.

So who took home the #Qc1000? This guy is a sponge. Learning at every moment. Working so hard. Practicing a ton. He was a nervous wreck when he grabbed his plaque today and im super happy for him. Mr. Chris Goodwintakes it down with 65inches! He edged out the current Dynamic Health AOY leader PC Hawj. Third goes home with David Golding. Ryan Hulsey continues running hot and snatches 4th. Jamie Swaney rounds out the top 5! Congrats on the big money boys! The rest of the standings will be posted by Ryan.

The Yak Bass’n small bass pot was worth $480 today and was a battle. Two 6inch bass were weighed in, and then bam, two 4.25inchers hit the table haha. Ronnie Mr Big Bass and Andy Myers split it up! 
The Emerald School of Excellence big bass pot was also a nail biter. 3 anglers tied with 19.75. Joey Randall, Johnny Barrett and Ryan Hulsey. Congrats guys. 
Chris and Joey took home the June Team event this month. Thank you Lakeside Barbers and Hands On Installations. 
Plenty of raffle prizes went home today as usual.

6 events down. 3 left before we crown an Angler of the Year and we all fight for the championship. Full daily and yearly standings will be posted later.

We are at Mountain Island Lake next month. I will make the event page at some point this week. I am on vacation and hopefully off the grid most of this upcoming week.

If you cashed please post your fish. Thx all! You are all awesome.

Here we are…..
“Half way” kinda, through season 5. Its been a great year so far. We hit up Badin Lake today. Sign in and weigh in took place at the great Joes Bait Tackle and Guns. They are an amazing host and we are proud to call them a Title Sponsor. We closed up sign in at 5am with another solid showing of 63 anglers.

6am launch. Most guys knew the lake would be packed. A large charity event, a crappie event, and at least one other local club event. Well….Badin needed a boat limit today. The traffic was horrible. Glitter rockets, jet skis, more jet skis, wake boards, pontoons. Man o man. Tough day to be on the water. I felt like I was fishing off shore all day.

Regardless of the traffic, rumors were the lake was on 🔥. It proved to fish fairly well. A good amount of fish weighed in with plenty of big ones.

Austin Vang continues his hot streak today and claims the coveted #qc1000. Congrats dude! 
Matt Hawj never fails to find them and took home second place today, over $500. My boy Shelly Efird made a guest appearance and must have kidnapped Joey Sullivan, they go 3, 4, as expected from these hammers. Teng Yang rounds out the top 5 this month! 10 guys cashed today. Its always exciting to see new guys like Jeremy Hughes cashing! Congrats! The top 10 is in the pictures.

Ronnie Murphy is a big bass hunter!! He catches ANOTHER giant. 22.25, for the QCKBF big bass lead for the season. That tank propelled him into 6th place today. Thank you Emerald School of Excellence for the plaque. Big Iron Taxidermy, I have a feeling you will be making this guy a mount!

The Yak Bass’n small bass was 7.75 and went home with Arnie. Almost $500!!!! Hysterical.

The PC Hawj Matt Hawj combo lead to their first team victory. They took home $100 cash for that and have extended their lead on the Lakeside Barbers/ @hands on installation Team division. Congrats boys.

We gave away a ton of items today. Thank you to our club sponsors.

All standings have been posted. AOY/TOC is heating up. Top 15 gets to fish the championsip, and top 10 get to compete for another $1000 against the Navy.

We visit new water for QC next month on the beautiful Lake Hartwell. Grady’s Great Outdoors will be hosting us for pre regi on Friday night before, sign in morning of, and weigh in, along with….drumroll, FEEDING US some amazing BBQ. Be sure to be there. AirOne Heating and Air is presenting this event, lets show out. I will work on ramps and event page asap.

We raffled off a kayak today that was donated by Aaron Miller in an effort to raise money for Mike Little and his mother. We raised a lot of money and Tim Sabella was lucky enough to go home with a sweet Kaku 12.5 outfitted with LED lights!! Congrats Tim!!!

Anything you need, hit me up.

You all took amazing pictures today. Maybe 1 penalty. Great day to judge. Thank you.

Today was amazing Second annual Ladies event! We fished a small lake, Lake Monroe in Monroe NC. It fished tough. We only had 4 ladies join us today, which gave them plenty of water. I had the pleasure of helping and watching Mary Ferreri fish all day. She is the 2018 defending champ after winning last year with 4min to spare. Today she grinded hard and stuck some pigs. She landed a 19.5, 18.5, and a 14.5 for a total of 52.5. Second place was Alicia Huggins with 17.25, 3rd and 4th tied with 17inches, Ashley Monroe Hearn and Melissa. Mary took home Big Bass, and Melissa Switektook home small bass with a 5.5incher.

Our sponsors gave plenty of prizes. Thank you Line Out Custom Tackle LOCT, TrueSouth Custom Lures, Salt Life, Hoo-Rag, Julie Cox and more!! Fun day!! You girls rock. Ash, thx for putting in work and getting the oil diffuser, massage, and leggings. Much appreciated.

Jeffrey Ludlow, you win the free small bass. Just remind me.

Great day on the ol Lake Wylie today. 66 of the greatest anglers around came out for the 4th event. Double April events this season, with an average of 76 anglers, cant complain about that. 
With the owner of Rusty Hooks Bait and Tackle fishing his CATT championship today we had to extend our hours, making it a 10 hour day. No complaints from the guys, and a ton of fish came to the table. I think it was the most fish ever weighed in at a QC event. Many guys caught over 20 each. The weather cooperated, got warm, but never real windy. Pleasure boaters came out, but that’s Wylie.

When it came down to weigh in Mr. PC Hawj got back to his winning ways, taking home the #qc1000 today. Mike Constable wrapped up 2nd place on his birthday. Awesome job boys. Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists of Charlottewas our title sponsor today. Luke Britz came out and cooked for all of the guys. The food, drinks, chips, and desserts were amazing. Thank you buddy. The Emerald School of Excellence big bass award was a three way tie today, with 20inchers. Commish, Corey Coffey and PC spilt up $225 and some hardware. Austin Vang took home the Yak Bass’n small bass award worth $410 with a 7.5incher. The Lakeside Barbers, Hands On Installations, and Daves home repair Team award went home with Joey Randall and Chris Goodwin today with 70inches. Congrats boys!

We gave away a ton of raffle prizes as usual. Thank you sponsors.

Next week is the 2nd annual Ladies Only 2019!! Event. Spread the word. Then we are back on May 18th at Joes on Badin Lake.

Ryan Hulsey will post up full standings, Dynamic Health AOY standings and the Aflac TOC standings.

Thank you all. I personally think the new system this year is amazing. The technology is working great, Brad Cox is a huge help and Mary Ferrerimakes it all smooth. QC has a great team! Thank you.
