New-Timer Tournament Results
The New-Timer Tournament was a hit with 11 teams showing up at Fool Hollow Lake May 15th, 2005. The New-Timer Tournament is for contestants who have never entered a White Mountain Bass Club tournament get a chance to fish with current members and does not count towards points in the Top Ten tournament race.
Guy Hartman and partner Mike Northrop managed to overtake 2004 Angler of the Year Johnny Johnson and his partner Neal Howard with a last minute catch in front of the crowd waiting for the weigh-in, ending up with 6.63 lbs. to take 1st place.
2nd place went to television host Johnny Johnson and partner Neal Howard with 6.47 lbs.
3rd place went to Jon Coplan and partner Ty Coplan with 5.70 lbs. New-Timer Ty Coplan also brought in the Big Fish of the day weighing 3.50 lbs. Great job Ty!

Guy Hartman (right) and partner Mike Northrop 1st Place (6.63 lbs.).

Johnny Johnson (right) and partner Neal Howard 2nd Place (6.47 lbs.).

Jon Coplan and partner Ty Coplan 3rd Place (5.70 lbs.).

Ty Coplan
Big Fish, weighing in at 3.50 lbs.
Doug Coplan Starts off with a Bang!

Doug Coplan and amateur Walt Coplan start off the year with a win, bringing in the Big Fish of the day at 5.63 lbs. and a stringer full of fish weighing in at 11.30 lbs. on what was a slow day of fishing for most of the Top Ten club. Doug missed the Angler of the Year award last year to television host Johnny Johnson by just a few tenths of a point and is surely gunning for Johnny this year, who finished 5th in this tournament, giving Doug a great head-start.

2nd Place goes to Pro Guy Hartman and amateur partner Dean Hartman with 9.95 lbs.

3rd place goes to pro Nathun Koreny and amateur Jon Coplan with 8.27 lbs. Big Fish: 4.81 lbs.
