Take An Airman Fishing Bass Tournament

Kansas Division 58 Hosts Take An Airman Fishing

Airman and Anglers

Twelve airmen from McConnell Air Force Base joined 27 other anglers to pit their fishing skills against the bass at Big Hill Lake May 22, 2010. Jim Vause, Director, Outdoor Recreation at McConnell Air Force Base with the help of veteran angler and airman, Mark Kirkpatrick, organized the day making it possible for the 12 airman to spend the day with D58 anglers.

Vause traveled to Big Hill late Friday night with a pontoon boat and film crew. They spend Saturday out on the lake taking video and still shots of the anglers. I believe they did a little fishing, too. They had plenty of snacks and soft drinks at the weigh-in.

The airmen were fishing for biggest stringer. Michael Fallin won with four fish that went 5.10 lbs. Shad Lochner was 2nd with three fish at 3.63 lbs; 3rd place was Herschell McKinley with three fish at 3.5 lbs. This was a “Winner Take All” so Fallin was presented with $40 plus a plaque donated by D58 local sponsors, 93.5 FM radio station and Quality Printing of Parsons, KS.

This event was put together to honor and say “Thank You” to the young men serving our country. We sincerely hope they had a great time and plan to host other similar events.
