I 2nd Bassaholics post. Everyone who finished in the top ten spoke honestly of the patterns they used to catch good bags of smallies. Seems that everyone had different patterns going from top H2O baits, drop shots,senko's, to rattle traps.

Fish were caught from 2-60'. Weather was near perfect except for the last hour on Saturday with high winds.

Several of us lost good fish on both days. Me personally broke over 20lbs off on Saturday on 4 fish. My biggest estimated at 7+ spooled me and then broke off- I almost cried, surprised no one heard me yell at the top of my lungs at the end of the lake when I lost that toad. I was site fishing toads in less than 4 feet of water both days.

Brian Olson's hog of 5.58 was caught way up lake as he was the only one who travelled the farthest.

Angie and Henry had good bags on Sunday.

Troy comes from behind and takes the win.

Also Congrats to Brian Hudgens for taking Angler of the Year.

Thanks again Phil for finding my wallet.

I will have to say man I miss fishing WBC events.  always a fun laid back envirnment.  For me to win so many anglers had to stummble on sunday and it just so happened that was the case.  I even told my girlfriend when we left for weigh-in that i felt i was one more good fish away from maybe just placing top three.  It was an amazing weekend with sat watching the gf catch her third smallie ever and it weighing 4.76lbs then landing that monster 5 and 1/2 near the end of the day.  Sunday was just brutal until about 10 when I stummbled onto some fish and milked them for as much as i could before them moving off my area.  topwater wapato crowd was fun too with honorable mention to the wapato master russ baker.

Thanks to everyone for their participation at Chelan. I had a great time myself and was severely hampered with a broken trolling motor.

Thanks everyone.

Great fish in those pics. Thanks for sharing. Russ I hope you save that in your memory bank for the Scholorship in a couple of weeks. We need 6 just like those!
