2023 LFA Annual Championship Tournament – Largest 5 Bass 10 inches and over
30 Members braved a full day of very tough weather conditions. The rain was continuous with periods of very hard
downpour and strong winds. All but the very best raingear failed to keep members dry, and waterproof shoes kept
more feet inundated with water than kept water out.

All club tournaments are two-person catch and release tournaments with an angler and a co-angler per boat. Anglers compete against anglers and Co-Anglers compete against co-anglers.
LFA members are mostly retired anglers who can fish weekly tournaments each Thursday. Membership is open to all persons who are physically able to fish and function independently in a boat, whether alone, or as a team member during scheduled Thursday fishing tournaments.
