Time: 7:30 - 4:00
Ramp: West Harbor Public Big Bass:Logan Barker - 4.15Lbs
The Trophy Bassmasters kicked off the 2011 tournament fishing season at West harbor this past weekend. Strong southerly winds warmed the fisherman and the tournament waters allowing for some good catches. A total of 40 keepers of at least 14” were brought to the scales with a combined weight of 80.36lbs. This was not a typical early Lake Erie tournament as far as results but considering that the water temps were in the low 40s on Saturday, the catch rate turned out very respectable. Virgil Grant topped the 17 man field with a 5 fish limit at 11.36lbs. Grant actually reported not having a fish in the boat until after 1:00PM so all of his work was done late as the tournament hours ran from 7:30AM to 4:00PM. Don Kraft tallied 10.64lbs in 5 fish to capture 2nd place. Just 1oz behind Kraft was Steve Barker with 10.57lbs in 5 fish for 3rd place. The Big Bass of the day went to Logan Barker as he used a spinnerbait to nail a 4.15lb largemouth for that award.
