The Trophy Bassmasters have found a new favorite destination for club tournaments. Belleville Lake in Belleville Michigan has quickly become one of the more productive stops of the tournament season. The club first visited Belleville in 2008 with moderate results. With trips in 2011 and 2012 the catch rates increased and this year was a banner year as 15 of the 16 anglers had fish for the scales and 13 of the members had 5 fish limits. A total of 71 bass at 124.29lbs were weighed with all but 2 released alive back to the lake. Don Ratcliff returned to form after a tough early season as he captured both 1st place and the Big Bass prize. Ratcliff’s 5 fish weighed 10.92lbs while his big fish tipped the scales at 3.58lbs. Mark Dairy was a close 2nd with 10.33lbs in 5 fish despite having motor problems which necessitated fishing close to the ramp all day. John Clark continued his consistent performance with 9.93lbs and 5 bass for third place.
