In a nutshell: It was a great tournament! 24 anglers - all caught fish. There were about as many patterns as there were anglers. The water was up quite a bit, which made the dunes accessible, so several anglers ventured in and were able to pull out some nice fish (including two 5-pounders). Weather couldn't have been better, with temps in the upper 70's and a light breeze.
Rob M. pounded it out on the dam face and around Goose Island to bring in solid weights each day to take the win. Congrats to Rob! Spinnerbaits and dropshotting baits won at club raffle were the ticket.
Lyle Logsten took 2nd with heavy bags filled with fish caught back in Linde Coulee. Dropshotting proved to be the bread-n-buttah presentation for the Skeeter crew.
And Terry Stephenson nabbed 3rd by spinnerbaiting beaver huts back in the dunes.
Larry Sullivan took "Big Fish" honors with a 5lb 3oz pig he caught on 8lb line back in Crab Creek. That would've been fun to watch him reel THAT in! Also, I believe Dave Henderson caught a 5lb 2oz hawg (dunes?), and Rich Loth nailed a 4lb 10oz sow at the entrance of Linde Coulee.
It was great to hear all the top dogs "tell all" at the awards ceremony.
Congratulations to all the winners!!
