Event: Delaware NOTES:

Time: 7:00 - 3:00
Ramp: Main Mairna Big Bass: Guy Gerber 1.88 Lbs
The Trophy Bassmasters left the big productive waters up north at Lake Erie for a 2 tournament run through the center of Ohio starting with Delaware reservoir near Delaware Ohio this past weekend. The club will compete on Alum Creek near Columbus next month. The inland lakes like Delaware and Alum provide a much more difficult task for the club members when it comes to finding not only numbers of fish but also keeper size bass measuring at least 12”. When the 14 anglers finished their 8 hour competition day on Delaware all but 1 had at least 1 fish but only 2 anglers had a 5 fish limit. The club brought in 43 largemouth bass that weighed a total of just 45.69lbs. Boyd Downey once again was at the top of the heap as he had 6.92lbs in 5 fish. Guy Gerber used the day’s big bass at 1.88lbs and a 5.22lb total in 4 fish to narrowly capture 2nd place. Netting 5 bass in 3rd place was Don Kraft finishing only .01lb short of Gerber at 5.21lbs. With Delaware serving as the club’s 10th outing of the season, the members start throwing out their lowest scores to compile only their best 9 tournament totals. This really starts tightening up the point list as those anglers that have missed an event or 2 get to catch up. Downey has made a substantial move in the point standings with wins in the past 2 events moving from 9th to 2nd.
