Event: Erie 2

The Trophy Bassmasters headed back to Lake Erie for their 11th club tournament of the season last weekend. Only 10 anglers made the journey for the 9 hour competition day. Those participating had a successful day as they landed 48 keeper bass of at least 14” with a total weight of 106.22lbs. Glen Cronley tallied 5 good smallmouth bass. Cronley’s creel weighed in at 15.31lbs and earned him his 2nd win of the year. Don Ratcliff continued his stellar year with a 2nd place finish. Ratcliff had 5 largemouth bass at 14.93lbs for the runner up spot. This is Ratcliff’s 8th finish in the top 3 so far in 2023. Dave Morlock had a mixed bag of 3 smallmouth and 1 largemouth. The total weight of 11.65lbs earned Morlock the 3rd position. Morlock also had the big bass of the day with a 4.33lb bass. Once again, young guest Lawson Hartman had a weight that would have won the tournament. Lawson netted 16.07lbs in 5 bass. Lawson is still just 9 years old. Ratcliff continues to dominate the Angler of the Year point race.
