Mike Hastings and Steve Magnelia Win on Stillhouse Hollow

Lake Stillhouse Hollow park the name of the tournament series is Tuff Man. But with a 70-degree temp and 10 to 15 mph south winds you did not have to be tuff to fish this tournament. The team of Mike Hastings and Steve Magnelia took the top honors with a total of 14.49. Mike and Steve were fishing the lower to mid lake areas in the grass beds using jigs and crank baits in 20 to 30 feet of water. This pattern produced a healthy five fish stringer which was enough to take first place and earn them a pay day of $1000.00

Second place went to the team of David Hogge and Rick Keagle. They had five fish that weighed in at 12.53 lbs this earned them a check for $500.00. David and Rick fished the mid-lake area. They were fishing with a Carolina rig using a watermelon centipede the grass. David and Rick’s sponsors are Allstar Rods, Triton Boats, Evinrude Outboards, Texas Boat World and Dash Link Internet Service.

Third place went to the team of Roy Steger and Danny Fisher. They were also using Carolina rigs in the mid lake area in the grass beds. This produced a five fish stringer of 12.41 witch earned them a check of $250.00

Big Bass went to the team of David Hogge and Rick Keagle. Their 5.39 lb Big Bass won them an additional $440.00. We want to thank every one for supporting the TUFF MAN Tournaments it would not be possible without you the fisherman. And the boat dealers in the Central Texas Marine Association.

I want to congratulate all of the qualifiers on making it into the championship and wish everyone good luck. It’s a real pleasure to work with such a fine group of fishermen. We are having a lot of fun with this tournament series and I hope you the fisherman are too. The championship will be held on Lake Belton on January 18th in conjunction with the Belton Boat Show.
