The Trophy Bassmasters took a break from Lake Erie and its bays and harbors to pry the calm and shallow waters of Lake Loramie in west central Ohio. Loramie is not one of the club’s most productive stops and if rumors are true the most recent visit may be the club’s last. Production at the lake has been way down for a few years. The club has had only one good outing in the last 5 years at the lake. In 2007 there were 33 keepers and 42lbs brought in. This year was the worst yet as only 7 keepers at 9.86lbs were weighed in by the entire 14 man field after the 8 hour competition day. Bob Flowers had the double honor of 1^st place and big bass. He had 2 bass that totaled 3.75lbs with a 2.44lb largemouth for big bass. Boyd Downey finished 2^nd with 3.08lbs and three 12” keepers despite only being able to fish for 2 hours. Third place went to John Wadding with 1 keeper at 1.75lbs. The results of the tournament shook up the Angler of the Year point race somewhat. The anglers are only allowed to count their best 9 tournaments out of the 11 event field. This was the 9^th tournament. The 10^th and 11th events are on Lake Erie so anything is possible. The top 10 anglers still have a mathematical chance at the Angler of the Year title. Although the point totals show some big gaps now, when each angler’s worst 2 tournaments are eliminated, the top 7 anglers are separated by only 16 points. It is going to be one of the tightest finishes in many years with several competitors having a legitimate shot at the title.
