The temperature was hot!!! The fishing was not!!! The Trophy Bassmasters spent the past weekend at Delaware Reservoir north of Columbus competing in the 7^th club tournament of the season. Fourteen members started at 6:30AM and competed for 9 hours. The last 3 or 4 hours proved more of a survival test than a fishing contest as the temperatures soared into the 90s. The catch rates reflected the tough conditions both in quality and quantity. Only 30 keepers of 12” or more were brought in with a combined weight of just 35.30lbs. All were released alive but 1. Many of the fish weighed in at less than 1lb each. Heath McGrew captured his first win as a Trophy member. McGrew has competed since the beginning of the 2006 season and although he has consistently been near the top of the Angler of the Year point race this was his first tournament win. McGrew’s 4 largemouths weighed 5.64lbs for the 1^st place prize. Rick Schifer Sr. had 5.40lbs in 4 keepers for the runner up position. Jim Miller also brought in 4 fish for the 3^rd place award. His creel topped out at 4.59lbs. Boyd Downey had the big bass of the event. A 2.52lb largemouth secured that honor. With only 4 tournaments remaining the Angler of the Year point race has tightened up even closer. Steve Ganger continues to lead with a host of anglers tight on his heals.
