SRIBA Bids Farewell to Club Member<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Longtime SRIBA member, Ed Leitz, who passed away on Sunday December 11.<\/p><\/div>\n

On Sunday, December 11, SRIBA lost club member Ed Leitz, who passed away after a lengthy battle with autoimmune disease \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Ed joined SRIBA several years ago and immediately plugged in to the club. He was a perfect fit and was well liked by everyone. He was a good competitor and always did his best to bring bass to the scale for our weigh-ins, keeping everyone on their toes.<\/p>\n

During the 2016 season Ed had a couple of really great tournaments, claiming the 1st place spot at our season opener with a 12.31 lb. bag. Ed won by a 3+ lb. margin!<\/p>\n

For our second night tournament of the year, Ed bagged 15.61 lbs. for the win, again with a 3 lb, margin over the 2nd place competitor.<\/p>\n

Ed also weighed in the tourney lunker for that one with a 5.75 lb. kicker,\u00a0 That fish also took the lunker award for the year, being the biggest bass weighed in by a SRIBA member across the entire season.<\/p>\n

We are all thankful that we had the chance to know Ed and that he was a part of our lives, both as a club member and as a friend.<\/p>\n

Ed left behind a wife and young son. He will be greatly missed by everyone. R.I.P. Ed. You may be gone, but you will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
