Boundary Bass Club Fellas Take Their Game to the North River

Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021, dawned clear and bright, but there still was a bite in the air that greeted those 17 anglers in 10 boats who blasted off from Waterlily at 8 a.m. for their tournament day on the North River.

As the day wore on, temperatures rose into the 60s, making for comfortable fishing conditions. At day's end, a total of 26 bass were brought to the scales, weighing a combined total of 54.56 lbs., which translates into an average weight of 2.09 lbs. per fish.

2nd Place, the team of Ken Matthias and Jim Leavis, with five fish, for a total weight of 11.40 lbs. Their big fish tipped the scales at 4.03 lbs.

Lunker Prize for the tournament, weighing 5.47 lbs., was caught by Vince Stuccio. He and his partner, Leo Boisvert, had a limit, which weighed in at 8.81 lbs.
