May 15- The second qualifier of the 2021 season started out with chilly 43 degree temperatures. The cool morning did not stop the 49 boat field from catching a pile of fish. 32 of the 49 boats weighed in a limit. Even though the anglers were successful in catching fish, weights were pretty low and very tight and one key bite made a huge difference in separating our top boats. The difference from first to sixth was only a pond and a half. Brock Rouse and Parker Mills took home 1st place with 5 fish weighing 14.86. 2nd place belonged to Andy Little with 14.35 and a kicker weighing 6.34. Jeremy Miller and Bubba Barnett finished 3rd with 13.86. 4th place belonged to Matt Smith and Tom Tripp with 13.61. Brody Brown and Carl Whittington finished 5th with 13.50 and 6th place belonged to Brian Link and Keith Bowers with 13.35. Link and Bowers had a 6.05 kicker fish. Big fish of the tournament went to the team of Jacob and Josh Brown who weighed in a beautiful 6.92 pound bass. Full results can be seen by clicking the tab below.
June 5- The 3rd tournament of the 2021 season was a tough one, and some anglers said "it was down right miserable." Midweek heavy rains caused the Neuse to be on a rapid rise with water levels rising over a foot and a half from Friday to Saturday morning. Of the forty-five boat field, only 15 boats were able to weigh in five fish limit and there were only seven boats with over ten pounds. The rising and muddy water did not stop Monte Morgan from catching a great bag of fish. Monte finished 1st with five fish weighing 16.56 and the big fish for the tournament weighing 5.30. Jesse Grady and Billy Paderick finished 2nd with 15.78. Randy Rhoderick and Rodney Caldwell finished 3rd with 13.90. The father/son duo of Eric and Garrett Brown finished 4th with 11.52. Jordan Brown and Brandon Howard rounded out the top five with 10.59. Full results can be seen by clicking the tab below.
July 10- The 4th qualifier of the 2021 season was one of the best tournaments in the history of the Neuse River Bassmasters. 35 boats of the 45 boat field weighed in a 5 fish limit. While that may sound impressive, it doesn't even come close to the size fish that were brought to the scales. There were more than 10 bass weighed in that eclipsed the 5 pound mark and one gigantic bass weighed in by Josh Brown that topped the scales at 8.20. Seven boats weighed bags of fish over 15 pounds. Congratulations to Josh Brown who weighed in the big bag of the year with 22.83 and big fish of the year 8.20. 2nd place belonged to Monte Morgan and Robin Bowen with 18.94. 3rd and 4th place belonged to the father son teams of Jimbo/Cody Tyndall and Eric/Garrett Brown who weighed in 17.90 and 17.19. Gary Butner and Kenny Simpson rounded out the top 5 with 16.94.
August 28- The final qualifier of the 2021 season proved to be a hot one. Morning temperatures started around 75 degrees and rose to 94. The boat number 13 proved to be unlucky and lucky as the team started the morning with motor trouble. But that did not stop Robin Bowen and Dean Jones from overcoming adversity and capturing the top spot. The duo weighed in a 5 bass limit weighing 17.04. The team of Brody Brown and Carl Whittington finished 2nd with 16.40 and the tournament big fish which topped the scales at 5.48. Luke Farley and Rob Moore finished 3rd with 15.18.
