 SUSAN JOHNSON MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

Saturday, February 19, 2014 - It was a beautiful morning with mild temperatures and a full moon.  We met everyone at South Shores Launch Ramp in Mission Bay.  A total of 19 anglers fished the tournament.  Sadly no Juniors were able to fish the tournament.  My grandsons were busy and Harrison Kellerman had a basketball game.  William Proctor aged out of the Junior division but still fished on the Copout.  Anglers on 4 kayaks fished the tournament.  Richard and Zella Burk provided pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, and lemon pie during the weigh-in.  John Otto took photographs at the weigh-in.

Susan Johnson, whose name honors this tournament, was sadly taken from us three years ago.  She was president of the San Diego Anglers in 2002 and joined the club with her husband Steve in 1998.  Susan was always a positive influence in the club and a good friend of everyone she met.  Susan was on the board of directors in 2000 and it was her idea to have a Bay Bass Tournament on Mission Bay.  The first Mission Bay Tournament was in November of 2000.  The tournament has been one of the most popular and highly attended since.
