Warren Williams soundly defeated the field on Lake Ida to take his second tournament of the year. He came in with a 5 fish bag that weighed 16.76 pounds to take the win. He had two four pound plus fish but they were not enough to take Big Bass honors which went to James Bakken who had a 4.56 pound largemouth. Second place went to Bryan Cain, who came in with a mixed bag of smallmouth and largemouth bass. He brought 14.85 pounds to the scales. Third place went to James Bakken with 13.46 and Micah Radich took fourth with 12.50 pounds.

It was another beautiful day for fishing. Temperatures were in the upper 50's at take off and rose to about 80 by weigh-in time. Skies were clear and winds were 5-15 MPH from the SW.

The next event is on Lake Minnewaska on August 23. We hope to see everyone there.

Warren Williams Wins at Sauk - Sunday, June 22, 2008

On a beautiful early summer day, Warren Williams pulled in 17.64 pounds of bass, including a 5.54 pound toad for the win on the season's first event. He narrowly edged Chris Blank who had 16.96 pounds and Jon England with 16.92. Durand Peterson had the big bass with a 5.89 pound monster which helped him to a fourth place finish.

It was a great day with temperatures in the upper fifties at the start and mid-seventies by weigh-in. Water temperatures were in the high sixties early in the day, warming to low seventies later in the day. Many of the fish had just finished spawning and were difficult to catch, although several anglers had them figured out. There were also some fish still on beds.

The next event will be on Lake Ida on 7/26/2008. See you there. read more ...
