Good luck to those of you fishing the tourney this weekend. Not a lot of good reports coming from the lake, but a few fish are being caught here and there.

See you on the water!

need info on tourny please

do a google for thier website. I know they have one. They might have it posted in the tournament forum.

thanx

Looks like there wasn't many fish caught at the tourney. Must be some big ones in there yet according to the weigh-in. 22 walleyes weighed-in out of 76 boats. One of these years this lake has to take off again.

Looks like another Worthingtonian wins again. Congrats to Roger and Gary, also saw Tom Aune places as well. Couple of pigs pulled in made the pay!

ya my little cousin and uncle came in 3rd with only one fish weighed in

Rick Engler & Roger Harvey were also in the top 10.

did any of you watch the weigh in? There were two teams with 4 fish. The one team had 3 fish still alive and a 4th that looked like it had been dead for over a day. It had no color, was beat up , the eyes were toast, and the gills were straight out. I want to know how you manage to keep 3 of 4 fish alive and have one come in like that in an 8 hour tournament. I am not afraid to say I dont think this fish was caught during the tourny ( my thoughts). I think maybe they should penalize for a dead fish or have a taxidermist or DNR agent at the weigh in.

I was there, I guess I didn't notice that, but I will say that the weather was really warm and windy-

There were a lot of boats out there so I really don't know of any way they could of cheated. the boats and livewells and everything were checked upon arrival.

Tough fishing, I heard that all the fish were caught trolling, and then another person said they were all caught in the inlet.. I dunno

If the fish was caught early in the day and was hooked really bad in the gills or stomach that would cause it to dry very fast.

i fished the tournament and we did catch our 4 and finished 5th i can tell you that not all the fish were caught trolling (ours yes) the big one came on a jig and leech. not in the inlet. the guys that won it were fishing by us and caught the 8lber about 150 yrds ahead of us.
i did not see the dead fish stated above so i have no comment on that.
yes the weather was warm until about 11:30 12:00 then cooled off abit with the wind whipping out there but with most of the livewells in recent years it is hard to lose a fish or have one decribed that way. besides the water was still fairly cool. really hard to lose a fish in cool water. just my opinion.

I am well aware of what is done to a fish that is hooked in a gill, furthermore I know what it looks like eight hours later which is not what this fish at the weigh in looked like. you could have stepped up to bat with that thing. I know they check boats and everything but I have 9 compartments in my boat and I opened just the livewell and he didnt even make an effort to look in it anyway. Like I said, I think there should be a penalty for dead fish, I mean 6 teams finished behind this thing.

I have no idea if anyone cheated or not but I would say that they didnt. I did not fish this year but have the last 5 and have to say that there are a lot of possibilities as to why the fish looked like it did. A couple years ago I caught the largest walleye in the tournament. The day started off very calm and then turned really windy. I had my stand pipe get knocked over in the live well and from spot to spot traveling the fish lost color in a hurry. My wife is a taxidermist and she we were present at weigh-in. If there were any questions or concerns I am sure they would have made a point right away. I just hope everyone played fair and had fun.
