Just one more week left in our Spring virtual tournament. Keep the submittals coming. This past week we had a G-G-G-G-G-G-G GIANT bass submitted! Congratulations to Walker on his catch of a nearly 22″ hawg! He has set a high bar for largest fish but remember what Mike Iakonelli once said, “Never Give Up!” plus there are lots of other prize categories available. Also pretty cool that we had our first couple of smallmouth bass submitted for the tourney! One of the smallmouths looks like it was a river fish from the pictures. One more week to go so get out there and stretch aRead More →

Several Hawgs Teams travelled to southern Ohio to compete in the SAF State championship held on the Ohio River out of Gallipolis on 6/3/23. It was tough fishing for many teams and none of the Hawgs Teams placed high enough to qualify for the upcoming SAF National Championship. Thanks to all the boat captains that take the time to take out our anglers. Also thanks to the other volunteers and advisors for all they do.Read More →

The Hartley’s Hawgs had several teams competing in the 2023 OBF Tournament May 13, 2023 on Alum Creek. The morning started off raining but cleared as the day progressed.

This past weekend, April 29-30, the Hawgs High School and Juniors competed for the 2023 OBN State Championship on Alum Creek Lake. Saturday was a cool overcast morning with some clearing in the afternoon while Sunday morning a cold front with wind and cold rains worked thru the area. The weather didn’t slow the fishing as several nice bags were brought to the scales. Unfortunately the Hawgs did not qualify any teams for the BASS National Championships (top two places qualify), but several teams from both the Juniors and High School were very near the top of the standings. Great job to all the teamsRead More →
