The Trophy Bassmasters finally showed up on the right day to fish a club tournament. Even though a strong storm whipped through the Western Basin of Lake Erie on Friday night, by Sunday morning the bass had their wits about themselves once again and were ready to feed. Thirteen members launched at 6:30AM on Lake Erie and its harbors for a 9 hour competition day from Mazurik boat ramp near Marblehead Ohio. When the day ended every member had at least one 14" keeper and most had multiple fish. A total of 47 bass that weighed in at 107.62lbs were tallied. Boyd Downey narrowly captured 1st place. He netted 5 largemouth and 14.81lbs for the top honor. Right on his heels was Dave Wedertz. Wedertz's 5 fish limit scored 14.73lbs and included the Big bass of the event with a 4.33lb largemouth. Mark Butler also had a 5 fish limit of largemouth for the 3rd place prize. His catch weighed 12.20lbs. The Angler of the Year point race is getting tighter each tournament. The club has only 3 tournaments left in the 11 tournament season. With each angler only allowed to count their best 9 events toward the AOY trophy, the last couple of events create a variety of scenarios for many of the top anglers. The current top spot is still occupied by Heath McGrew as it has been since the 2nd tournament of the season. The next 3 or 4 anglers are starting to put the pressure on though as the push for the AOY title heats up.
