BOSTON BASS ANGLERS Presents The 7th Annual “KARL KAPRELIAN”BENEFIT SCHOLARSHIPOPEN TEAM, BASS TOURNAMENTSaturday, July 23, 2005, Lake Winnipesaukee, NH.Ames Farm, Lakeshore Dr. Rt. 11 Gilford, NH.What a gorgeous day, the weather held up and it was in the eighties with sun and some wind. There was a considerable amount of boat traffic on the lake, which made for a bumpy and wet ride J. We had 63 teams fish this tournament. The competition was tough as we had some of the best Anglers in New England vying for the top spots. When all was said and done there were a lot of huge bags brought to the scales, this was an eight fish limit and the team of Tamburello and Iodice took top honors with 27.53 lb. anchored by a 6.50 LM. Nice fish but it didn’t hold up, the 10th place team of Brophy and Branham had 18.85 lb. with Lunker LM weighing in at 6.53 LB. ( Funny what 3 ounces can do for you J) Rounding out the field was the 2nd place team of Worth and McAllister with 21.06 lb. anchored by a 4.31 SM. We also had good representation from Pro Staff Members from our various sponsors, most notable was the Pro Staff from Jason Cuda’s Hookerz Tackle, in attendance was Bean Lefebvre MA, Joel St. Germain RI, Paul Cinquegrano MA, Rod Laferrier NH.

Twelve places were paid out plus Lunker Largemouth and Smallmouth. The members of Boston Bass Anglers are grateful to be able to put on this annual event in Karl’s memory, as he was a cherished member of Boston Bass Anglers Boston Bass Anglers would like to apologize for the delay at the ramps, but we had no control over the way the traffic was routed and the order the boats where loaded, Ames Farm has their own Ramp boss and we were at his mercy. The Kaprelian clan was well represented on the water with the patriarch Alan paving the way for the family. We hope all the anglers enjoyed the day and had a good time. We are looking forward to seeing you again next year. Respectfully Yours, Bean Lefebvre, Boston Bass Anglers
