2014 State ClassicDaniel Balaba Wins 2014 State Classic with 31 Pounds!
Well the 31st annual SCBBBC classic was a great success. There were 37 of the worlds best kick boaters that descended on the world famous Clear Lake looking for that huge bag of fish. The word around the lake was that the bite was tough and fishing very small. The weigh in on day one made this an obvious truth, with the leader Deren Kozenko at 14lbs and day ones big fish of 7lbs. With a lot of anglers scratching their heads about what to do on day 2 we all headed over to State Park for the barbecue and raffle. We want to say a special thank you to Mark & Laura Harrison and Sarah Duffany for all their hard work preparing food and all around help. The food was great and the raffle was as usual a lot of fun. A big thanks to our sponsors OUTDOOR PROSHOPS first and foremost for their generous support not only this year but all the years past. HI's Tackle shop, Clear Lake Outdoors, Clear lake Bait and Tackle, CatchemCaro Baits, Little Creeper Baits, Matt Nyiri for the CamelBack and all the others who donated their gear and time to make it so special. When day 2 weigh in started there were obvious adjustments made and the weights had increased for those who found those fish that were hungry. Day one leader showed consistency and had a lead heading to the final angler (Daniel Balaba) who's day one weight was only 8lbs.The tension mounted as he began to load his fish into the weigh bag. when the fish hit the scales he had a 4 fish limit of over 22lbs to win this years Classic with a total weight of 31.43. Second went to Deren Kozenko with 28.46 3rd going to Chris LaPoint 20.54, 4th Dave Sternitzke 19.56 and rounding out the top five was Mike Ayers at 18.63. Marcus Werner and Jon Graves also finished in the money. Big Fish Honors go to Deren Kozenko 7.00 and Rob Linden 6.89. Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this a great tournament.
