"Tug Valley Bass Anglers Club Classic

Presented by VIP Fuels"

On November 6th/7th the Tug Valley Bass Anglers held its ninth tournament of the 2021 season on Cumberland lake in Somerset Ky. This was the Club Classic, the final tournament of the year.

Weather for the tournament was good. Both days of the tournament were practically the same with sunny skies, winds around 5 mph and temperatures in the 50's

Cumberland was in the process of being drawn down for winter and was about 30 feet below summer pool. The water was clear on the entire lake except for the extreme upper end of the lake where it became stained.

The fishing was slow all weekend, the water being drawn down coupled with an extreme cold front made the fish very tough to catch.

The fish were caught on the main lake as well as in the creeks and were from 1 to 10 feet deep.

There wasn't one main pattern for this tournament, but the fish that were weighed in were caught all over the lake and on all kinds of different baits.

The top finishers are as follows.

1st-- Kevin Caudill --- Sat (3 fish) Sun (0 fish) 6.21 lbs.

2nd-- Lacy Edmiston --- Sat (1 fish) Sun (1 fish) 6.04 lbs.

3rd-- Tommy Hopkins --- Sat (0 fish) Sun (2 fish) 4.46 lbs.

4th-- Brandon Staten --- Sat (0 fish) Sun (2 fish) 4.34 lbs.

5th-- James Marcum --- Sat (1 fish) Sun (0 fish) 3.15 lbs.
