The Trophy Bassmasters held their final club tournament of the season last weekend at West Harbor and Lake Erie. It sounds like a broken record but the club ran into adverse weather conditions once again as strong winds churned the lake up. This made navigation and fish catching difficult. Ten members spent 8 hours each and brought in 16 keepers of at least 14” with a total weight of 36.43lbs. All were released alive. Taking the top prize with 3 bass and 9.26lbs was Mike Baumlein. He also had the big bass of the day with a 4.22lb largemouth. Paul Pemberton won 2nd place with 4 keepers and 7.20lbs. Steve Ganger rounded out the top 3 with 6.68lbs in 3 fish. As a side note a guest of the Ganger family also participated in the tournament. Christian Olson was Ganger’s partner for the day and he out fished the entire club. He had a 5 fish limit of bass that weighed 10.42lbs.
