The Trophy Basmasters were thrilled to return to more productive waters during the last tournament as they traveled north to the Detroit River with the adjoining waters of Lake Erie to the south and Lake St Clair to the north. After 2 tough events in central Ohio catch rates went way up at this event. The 12 anglers brought in 42 bass with a total weight of 106.25lbs fro better than a 2 1/2lb average. Bob Flowers dented the win column for the first time this year with an impressive catch of 14.49lbs in a 5 fish limit. His creel also included the big bass of the day as he netted a 4.76lb largemouth for the honor. His big bass also takes over as big bass for the year with just 2 events to go. Steve Ganger also had a good day with 5 bass and 13.22lbs to capture 2nd place. Rookie Tom Leber posted a 3rd place finish with 5 fish and 12.22lbs. A small group has separated itself from the pack in the Angler of the Year point race as the top 4 anglers have put some distance between themselves and the rest of the pack.
