The Trophy Bassmasters finally got to go up North to Lake Erie and try their luck on the plentiful bounty the big lake has to offer. Although the lake was not quite up to par, the catch rates and size of fish improved over past tournaments. The 17 anglers brought in 40 keeper fish that totaled 84.54lbs. All but 1 were released alive. The winner for the 2nd tournament in a row was Mark Dairy. Dairy had the only 5 fish limit and outdistanced the rest of the field by more than 3lbs as his creel weighed 12.50lbs. Derek Ganger was a double winner with the Big Bass of the day as well as 2nd place. Ganger's 3 largemouth bass weighed an impressive 9.46lbs and included a whopper 4.89lb beauty for the big fish honor. Ganger's hawg also qualifies as the biggest fish of the year to date. Narrowly taking the 3rd place award was Christian Olson. His 4 smallmouth bass at 8.26lbs stole the position from Dave Wedertz by .01lbs. Wedertz garnered a fish care penalty of .13lbs for a deceased fish which gave Olson the spot. The club's next stop is this weekend at Belleville Lake in Michigan.
