The Trophy Bassmasters hit an absolutely beautiful weekend for their 3^rd club tournament of the year at Alum Creek just north of Columbus and had excellent results. Twenty-one anglers competed from 6:30AM to 3:30PM and brought in 51 keeper bass of at least 12” for a total weight of 68.77lbs. All 51 bass were released alive following the weigh-in. Following a recent trend in the club, first place and big bass went to one of the newest members in the club. Virgil Grant, a transfer from the Findlay Bass Club, nearly lapped the field as he weighed in an impressive 5 bass limit and 11.13lbs. His bag included a 3.55lb smallmouth bass as well as the Big Bass for the day with a 4.09lb largemouth. The next closest competitor was Bert Grubbs over 4 1/2lbs back. His 5 fish limit weighed 6.53lbs for 2^nd place. Third place went to Boyd Downey with 6.38lbs in 5 fish. The club has recently welcomed 3 new members from the Findlay club including Grant and they have hit the ground running. Along with Grant’s total domination of the Alum tournament, John Wadding has made an immediate impact after joining in February. Wadding finished 2^nd at Indian Lake and won the St Marys event to lead the club in the Angler of the Year race. Ken Treece joined just before the ST Marys event and promptly won the Big Bass for that tournament. The club’s next outing is on Knox Lake at the end of the month
