Time: 7:30 - 3:30
Ramp: Blackhawk Big Bass: Don Kraft 2.86
The Trophy Bassmasters held their 14th and final club tournament of the season last Sunday at Indian Lake. Even though the temperatures started out cold and actually got colder during the day with cloudy skies and occasional misty showers there were 3 anglers with multiple fish catches. The tournament decided the Angler of the Year point race for 2012. Narrowly overtaking the lead with his fifth 2nd place finish of the year was John Clark. Clark brought in 4 bass that weighed 7.84lbs to finish the event in 2nd place which propelled him into the point lead by 3 points over Don Ratcliff. Don Kraft pulled the only 5 fish limit from the lake that weighed an impressive 9.01lbs to take 1st place for the day. Kraft also had the big bass with a 2.86lb lunker. Boyd Downey rounded out the top 3 with 3 bass and 5.16lbs. There were only 16 bass caught by the 13 anglers for a total weight of 26.86lbs. All were released alive. The club has just the year end classic still to go in 2 weeks but that tournament does not count toward AOY points so Clark was declared the 2012 champion.
