| RESULTS |
| This was Catfish Masters of America's 3rd year for hosting this event.The first year I think we only had 20 teams fishing and the 2nd year there was only 25 teams fishing,but for the year 2007 our club with the help of a lot of other top angler's we doubled those numbers with ( 52 ) teams.We are very pleased to see anglers from all over coming to Madison,Indiana to fish in this growing event. We try a make these two days very enjoyable for our anglers.We offer 4 of the best motels in town. The motels try to accomadate to the anglers needs and all of them have preselected spots in our event, so if there angler finishes in that spot there room is paid for by that motel.So far in the past that has happened to a few of the anglers. This year Buddy Roberts the representive from SeaArk Boat Company based in Montecello,Ark. was here to give away a boat.Buddy has also been here in Madison for our past events.SeaArk knows that this event has a lot of there boats entered in this classic and that anglers are looking for that one special boat to fish from and they build them.Personally I think SeaArk has that Boat.You will also be be seeing a lot more from SeaArk here in Madison for a long time. The trailer that came with the Boat was Sponsored by Outdoor World based in Washington,Indiana This company also has been a past sponsor here in the classic.There representives Amanda & Jodie The company is owned by Jerry & Lynn Stoll they to have been to Madison in the past.The Suzuki boat motor was Sponsored by Suzuki and I don't have much more onthat connection,but we do greatly thank them for there part in all this. |
| I also would like to thank Jeremy Leach for the work that he has put in on the classic.He's responsible for putting together the title Sponsors Boat package.And has also brought in a lot of new anglers for the tournament.I hope that the classic has his help again for 2008.And many thanks to all of the sponsors that supported the 2007 Classic and they SeaArk,Outdoor World LLC, Suzuki,Tite-Lok Dick's Sporting Goods,Big O Tires,Koehler Tires,Walmart,Plapp's Pro Outdoors,A2O Boating Supply,S&S Marina,and a very special thanks goes out to Lucus & Erica Soule from Eagle Hollow Marina for those 2 meals that was served to our anglers.I know that Erica and Lucus put a lot of time and hard work putting this together and that the anglers really appreicated this very much.The food that was left from this event,which was a lot was taken to the youth shelter. Now,I know I will forget something that should be put on our site and if I do send me a message on the message board.I am just human you know.Also getting old. Ok here we go, This year the field had double from the past so (2) time Champion's Shaftner Bowling and his partners had a lot more to fish against.Well the 2006 ( 2nd ) place team of Jeremy Leach and Beacher Woolf came to change the finish for 2007.They started the first day by weighing in (5) fish at 97 lbs.all where taken at Markland Dam.That give them a little over a 4lb lead on the now 2nd place defending champions.Shafter and Gross had a great day as well finishing with 92.2lbs. Second day was a little better for the SeaArk team weighing in 149.2 lbs with (5) fish.This team also had a nice 44 lb blue,but there was a rule in place about the weighing of the angler;s big fish.The rule states its the Anglers Responsibillty to chose he's big fish for weighing.Once weighed there are no reweighs and the other fish are added to get total weight.Seams to been some confusion on this and the fish up first was a 38.8 lbs.It didn't matter in the end because there was a bigger fish weighed in latter.But,its very important to me and felt bad about it,but a rule is a rule for all. Second day for Shaftner Bowling and Danny Gross was a little short but weight in (5) nice fish at 91.4 lbs not enough to retain the title for this years SeaArk/Outdoor World LLC/ Suzuki Classic held in Madison,Indiana.There total weight was 183.6 lbs. Here is the list of finishes in order. 1st Team SeaArk Jeremy Leach & Beacher Woolf Total Weight 246.2 Lbs Winnings $ 4000.00 from Madison,Indiana 2nd Shaftner Bowling & Danny Gross Total Weight 183.6 Lbs Winning $ 2000.00 Madison,Indiana 3rd Steven Douglas Won BIG FISH $1000.00 &Total Weight 153.8 Lbs Winning $ 1200.00 Bardstown,Kentucky 4th Ken Gattlin & Ron Smith Total Weight 150.8 Lbs Winning $ 1000.00 Hillsboro,Indiana 5th Shawn Hertz & Jess Thevenow Total Weight 140.4 Lbs Winning $ 800.00 Madison/Hanover,Indiana 6th Mary & Gary Waddell (Mary held B.F DAY 1) 36.2LBS) Total Weight 139.6 Lbs Winning $ 700.00 Bardstown,Kentucky 7th Jeff Jackson & Vic Shepherd Total Weight 135.6 Lbs Winning $ 700.00 Cincinnati,Ohio 8th Chris DeBow & Marlin Lange ( Won Boat ) Total Weight 132.2 Lbs Winning $ 500.00 Madison,IN/Medora,Oh. 9th Derrick Allen & AlanKonkle Total Weight 130.2 Lbs Winning $ 400.00 Madison,Indiana |

| There is a lot to be said about the anglers that were competing in this tournament,from Mary Waddell holding on with the big fish of the 1st day (36.2 lbs) to Steven Douglas finishing out the 2nd day with huge 49.2 lb Blue.We only had (3) women fishing Mary Waddell from KY. and Lynn Lange of Ohio who fishes mainly with the Duracats club hauled in a Monster Blue in in one of there tournaments in 2005 a #88 lber,now thats a nice fish. There is a lot to tell,but those story will have to wait for another day.Right now I have to start working on the 2008 Classic and I think there is already 26 boats pre-registered for next June 28st & 29nd. There will be a lot of changes made next year.They say you learn from your mistakes,well I have.I hope to make a lot of changes that you will like.If any of the anglers have any type of suggestion that will help send it to me.This year was great,But next year this field of anglers will double. Thank for a great turn-out see you next June. Steve & Pat Shipman Catfish Masters of America |
