I didn't hear a single person complaining about the pleasant temperature today; however, I couldn't say the same for the wind. On multiple occasions, the wind was responsible for my lures overshooting their intended target, but, of course, I always have some of that problem--with or without any wind.
A total of 17 anglers in 11 boats showed up for today's event. Claiming the 1st-place prize money was this grandfather-grandson duo of John Matyiko and Hayden Capper. They weighed a five-fish limit with a total weight of 13.68 lbs. Their big fish weighed in at 3.86 lbs.
Walking away with 2nd-place prize money was this team of (from left) Gary Coderre and Lenny Hall, who also weighed a five-bass limit totaling 10.83 lbs. Gary also weighed the day's big fish, a 4.60-lb. bass.
Capturing 3rd place was Dave Meers, who weighed five bass totaling 8.72 lbs. His big fish tipped the scales at 3.32 lbs.
And for the third time in as many tournaments, yours truly took home the mystery-weight money. The weight drawn was 3.75 lbs., and I had three bass weighing 3.37 lbs., with no big fish.
Here is how all the other competitors finished the ninth event of the current series:
* The team of Mark London and John Goodman, five fish, 8.12 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* The team of Ronnie McLaughlin and Chandler McLaughlin, five fish, 6.99 lbs. total weight after 0.25 deduction for one dead fish, no big fish.
* The team of Randy Conkle and Bob Glass, five fish, 6.45 lbs. total weight after 0.25 deduction for one dead fish, no big fish.
* Jim Bauer, 5 fish, 5.63 lbs. total weight, no big fish.
* The team of Mitch Portervint and Skip Schaible, one fish, 1.30 lbs. total weight.
* Steve Bailey and Duane Kessel didn't weigh their fish, although I heard they both had some.
Overall, the anglers today weighed a total of 39 bass for a total weight of 65.09 lbs. The average weight was 1.66 lbs.
For planning purposes, our next scheduled event is Saturday, July 12, from safe light (about 5:30 or 5:45) to 2 p.m.
