Last ABA night tourney of the summer

Well, the final ABA summer night tournament was held at Lake Pleasant on August 15/16. There was a lot of suspense and excitement as several teams were knotted in a battle for team anglers of the year, with less than 13 points seperating 1st and 5th place and 1 pont seperating 1st and second. The normal extreme heat was missing and once again it was a little pleasant at Lake Pleasant. 13 teams signed up for the final summer night tournament of the year and the last chance to qualify for the ABA championships. Anglers fishing the American Bass circuit have the option of fishing 3 different championships in 3 different states once they qualify, with categories as Father/Daughter, Father/Son,Husband/Wife, Mother/Daughter, Mother/Son, Boy/Girl, Adult/Youth, and Bassn' Gals. If you are a loner and like to fish by yourself there is even a category for single. more information contact Brian Chambers at 602/568-3390 or at [email protected], or simply go to americanbass.com.
I would like to recognize The Hook Up for all of their hospitality throughout the Summer Nights Season it made things really go smooth. Plase go see Ben, John and the gang at the Hook Up for all your fishing needs.

Also, a special thanks to Bill Johnson's Big Apple for their contribution of a 25,00 gift certificate for the last 2 tournaments, they have been around for a long time, the food is great and the value even better, 6 valley locatons, billojohnsons.com, mention the ABA. And finally, I want to thank Matt Sura for his touching and heartfelt salute to retiring ABA director turned fisherman Randy McIlrath, Matt I am sure it will be remembered for a long time by all who witnessed it.
