The Lake Mina draw tournament turned out to be a dinkfest. While the fish were small, someone always manages to find some that are a little bigger. Doug Kriese pulled in a five fish bag that weighed 8.83 pounds - not big, but big enough for the win. Ron McNutt and Bob Hefti won the team event with 9.71 pounds and Dylan Kriese had the big fish - a 3.13 pound giant.

It was a great day to be fishing. The temperatures warmed into the 70's for one of the few times this year and winds were light. Water temperature was in the low 60's. It appears that the fish were right around the spawn period, but the bigger females had not moved up yet.

No one went out on Lake Mina fun fishing after the tournament. It probably won't make anyone's favorite lake list. At least we won't have to be back for at least two years! The next draw tournament is June 29.  read more ...
