Andy Nitchals Is Catching Beasts This Year

7.84Lbs

7.61Lbs

7.08Lbs

I decided not to do my MN Blogger Derby this year.  Andy Nitchals would be running away with it if I did.

Holmer Is On the Board And Andy Culls

Check My Derby Blog to find out the weights on these fish and to find out who's where in the standings.

Holmer Won My MN Blogger Bass Derby Yet Again

5.81lbs

I thought that Andy's Bass Blog had managed to beat Holmer of Bass Utopia this year, but then I realized I missed one of Holmer's fish and sure enough the upgrade on the cull was enough to beat out Andy by a quarter of a pound.  That makes it the 5th straight year Holmer has won the Derby.  Overall the top weights were way down this year.  Holmers weight of 26.54lbs would have got him 3rd Place each of the two previous years.

This year we had 2 fish over 6lbs both caught by Carl Spande of BassMN.com.

6.50lbs

6.87lbs

2nd Place,  as I already mentioned, went to Andy's Bass Blog
3rd Place went to Jason Dudek Fishing with 26.09lbs

Congratulations Guys!!!

I'm mulling changing things up for 2014, we'll see.

Jason Holmer Wins the Derby Yet Again!

6.25 Mille Lacs Smallie

Congratulations Jason!!!

For the 4th consecutive year Jason of Bass Utopia is the winner of the Bass Pundit Minnesocold Bass Bloggers Derby.  He won it with 29.49lbs to just beat out Micropterus which brought in a very impressive 29.10 bag.  In 3rd Place was Andy's Bass Blog for the 2nd year in a row with a bag that was just .12 of a pound lighter than 2011.

Great Job Everyone!!!

MN Bass Fishing Blogger Headed to Fedration Nation National Tournament

Current Bass Pundit Minnesocold Bass Bloggers Derby 2011 leader Andy Nitchals of MN bass fishing blog Andy's Bass Blog just finished in 1st Place for the MN team at the 2011 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Northern Divisional at the Mississippi River - Ft. Madison, IA, Aug 10 - 12, 2011. The 1st Place Finish means Andy will represent MN at the 2011 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship Nov. 3-5, 2011, on the Ouachita River out of Monroe, La. If Andy can be the top angler in his division in that tournament, he will earn a birth to the 2012 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River.

I think the odds are probably against Andy making the classic as I don't think he's a river rat. In the Divisional on the Mississippi he finished in 11th Place.

WOW!

Andy's Bass Blog-A Minnesocold Bass Fishing Blog that has evaded my detection since May of 2008. I am actually Facebook Friends with Andy and that is how I discovered he was a bass fishing blogger. He put up a link to his most recent post and I was like, what?
