Former Junior National Champion Daryk Eckert won the senior division of the Ohio Bass Federation Junior Championship held at O'Shaughnessy Reservoir Sunday, Aug. 22. There were a total of 67 youth in the two divisions of the tournament, but Eckert was the only angler to master the lake, with five bass weighing 5.88 pounds to win the 15-18 age group.
The second place angler, Johnny McKenzie of the River Valley Juniors, had only one bass, but it was the division's big bass at 2.94 pounds.
Haleigh Caldwell of the Gallipolis Junior Bass Busters finished third with two bass weighing 2.68 pounds, Jarrett Martin, also of the Gallipolis club, was fourth with two bass weighing 2.56 pounds, and Max Kaufman placed fifth with a 2.47-pound bass.
Kaufman and Eckert are listed as belonging to the "CJB" club, but OBF Youth Director Mick Sturgill tells me Eckert is a member of the Renegades, sponsored by the Perry County Anglers. As for "CJB" I haven't figured out whether it stands for Columbus or Cincinnati Junior Bass Anglers.
Over in the 11-14 age group, Tristian Walters, also of "CJB" won the division with two bass weighing 3.91 pounds, including a 2.15-pound bass that took big bass honors.
Alex Connor of the SS Minnows finished second with a 1.3-pound fish, A.J. Bright of Tri-County Junior Bass Masters placed third with a 1.14-pound bass, Reese Eddleblute of the Perry County Renegades took fourth with a 1.07-pound bass and Kyler Bennett of Wlnut Springs Fishing Club was fifth with a 1.06-pound fish.
