2003
TOUR CHAMPIONS
The
2003 season was a season dominated by the teams of David Batson/Kevin Calliham,
Roland McInville/Ralph Reed and Joey Madden/Jason Snyder. All three of these teams
took their turns leading the points throughout the spring and summer with Batson/Calliham
scoring a victory in the first half of the year.The
second half of the season started with two night tournaments, for the first time
in club history, which saw several experienced night fish teams make moves into
the top ten in points. Travis Allen/Keith Gary, Tony McAlister/Joey Futch, Phil
O'Dell/Carl Melton and Roland McInville and Ralph Reed all notched top finishes
with Roland and Ralph holding a sixteen point lead in the points at the end of
August.Then
in September, much like in 2002, the points leader going into the tournament didn't
catch a single fish. This is when Joey Madden and Jason Snyder notched their first
victory of the season and took over the lead in the race for the Tour Championship.
A lead they did not relinquish.The
month of October saw Joey and Jason stretch their lead while second through twentieth
positions in points tightened to only thirty-five points.November
brought an end to the Club's streak of no repeat winner's during a season as the
Champ's notched their second victory of the year. The November tournament also
saw several top ten teams struggle with one dropping from eighth to twentieth.
