| 2009 BASSMASTERS CLASSIC QUALIFIER
Ken Baumgardner
Congratulations to Ken Baumgardner from Monongahela, PA, a member of
the Road Warriors Chapter of the Southwest District of the PA BASS
Federation Nation, who made the final step on the road to the
Bassmasters Classic.
Baumgardner successfully competed against the top 55 Federation Nation
anglers in the world at the Federation Nation Championship in Junction
City, Kansas.
By virtue of besting all the competitors in the Mid-Atlantic
Region, Ken has qualified himself to represent our Region in the 2009
Bassmasters Classic, February 20-22 on the Red River out of
Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana.
A long time member of the Federation Nation, Ken Baumgardner
has dispelled the myth that nice guys finish last. Ken has
distinguished himself among local tournament anglers as a talented bass
fisherman, who works tirelessly at his craft. Baumgardner is the
epitome of a sportsman. He never refuses to help other anglers to
become better fishermen or he never fails to come to the assistance of
boaters in need.
Congratulations Kenny.
Your State Federation is wishing you a decisive victory in February at the 2009 Classic.
- Jim Delesandro

Ken Meadows
Ken, a co-angler, has proven riders can hold their own in these
tournaments.
His second great accomplishment is winning lunker at all
three West District events. He is a great example that you don't need a
boat to kick butt in this circuit.
Great job Ken.
