2019 Classic Team Trail - TOC Aug 25th
2019 TOC Results
The MBN Classic Team Trails combined T.O.C (Friday and Sunday trails) was held this past Sunday on Charles River in Waltham. The event had 7 teams completing for the 2 slots to go to Lake Hartwell S.C. in December of this year. Sadly we had a text book cold front move in prior to Sunday keeping the bite slow all day. Many of us went to work picking everything apart trying to get our five and hoping for a couple of kickers. There was only two teams that got a couple of good fish on a tough day that got them the ticket to Harwell.
Ray Lentine and Eli Delaney who are in the MassMasters club found some kickers and the lunker just under 4 pounds she weighed 3.94 lbs and a total weight of 13.05lbs. Thats the first team who made it to Hartwell. Randy Phillips and Wayne Marquis who are in mass at large club is the second Team who made it with bag of largemouth weighing 10.25lbs.Those are the two teams representing Mass B.A.S.S. Nation down in Lake Hartwell S.C. in December. Congrats guys you put in great work today. I know your clubs are proud and the Mass B.A.S.S. Nation is honored to send you to Lake Hartwell S.C..
Thanks for a Great Season as my first year running the trail I couldn’t have ask for a better group of guys. Hope to see you all next year and keep an eye out in December to see how our teams do, someone could make to the Bassmaster classic from Massachusetts!!!!!
Thank you
Ben Hale

2019 Classic Team Trail - Friday - Buffumville Res
MassB.A.S.S. Nation
Friday Classic Team Trail
Results: Buffumville – August 16, 2019
When The Going Gets Tough – The Tough .…….”
Buffumville Reservoir is known for two things: Big Bass and Frustration. This was the case at the last Friday team event. This tournament was very important because it would determine who would be going to the TOC Sunday August 25th on the Waltham section of the Charles River and the winner there going on to Lake Hartwell for the B.A.S.S. Classic Team Championship and from there to The BassMasters Classic.
Buffumville Important?? You better believe it.
There were three teams still in the running for the final spot at the TOC. Randy Phillips and Wayne Marquis had already sewn up spot #1 with 798 points and was using Buffumville as their “drop.” This left Ray Lentine/Eli Delaney with drop (wd) at 792, Chip Servant/Josh Cotier with 791 (wd) and Jim & Jack Moorey at 593 without a drop. There were two scenarios: If Eli and I beat Josh and Chip we would be going to the fishoffs. BUT if Josh and Chip and Eli and I didn’t catch any fish, we would both use Buffumville as the drop – leaving Eli/Ray with 792 and Josh/Chip with 791. IF Jim and Jack won Buffumville then they would have 793 points and they would be going to the TOC.
Two of the three parts fell into place for Jim/Jack. They won the tournament for 200 points giving them 793 points and Josh/Chip didn’t weigh in fish using this as their drop giving them 791 points. This left just one more piece of the puzzle for Jim/Jack – Eli and I had to get skunked on this water that produces skunks at every tournament held there. As luck would have it for Eli and me, we came in 2nd and wound up with 795 points.
Only two teams weighed in fish:
- Moorey/Moorey: 9.79 pounds
- Lentine/Delaney: 6.97 with lunker of 4.36
