THURSDAY NIGHT OPEN BUDDY EVENT - RESULTS
HOT! HOT! HOT! The second BDVB Thursday Night Buddy Event of 2026 was held last night at Lake Assunpink, where air temperatures exceeded 100 degrees and only "cooled" off to 90 degrees by the 10:00 p.m. end time.
None of that mattered as 16 teams showed up, and found the fishing as hot as the weather. On a night where the abundant 15-inch plus sized fish required for Assunpink were willing to cooperate, several teams had banner nights.
The winning team of brothers Ian and Matt Martin broke the BDVB Thursday night weight record, posting a five-fish limit weighing an astounding 19.80 pounds.
Another brother team, consisting of Jason McDonald and Josh McConnell also had a mega-five-fish limit, weighing 18.24 pounds taking second place by more three-quarters of a pound.
Third place went to Donny Diggs and Nick Angiulo with five fish, anchored by the big fish of the night, a 5.60 pound largemouth, weighing 17.54 pounds.
The overall results are attached.
REMEMBER, NO EVENT NEXT WEEK. We are back at Stone Tavern Lake on July 16.
