B.A.S.S. State Youth Championship

[bosshawg]

If I may, our club was host to last Sunday's youth championship held on Kent Lake. We had 14-16 anglers from the 2 age divisions participating and would like again to send my congratulations out to Joel Parker (15-18 div.-waterford) and Chase (last name?/11-14 div.-flushing) for their 1st place finishes+both had BIG BASS. They will now go to the nationals w/family in Oct or Nov in South Carolina I believe.
By luck I had both boys fishing out of my boat w/Chase handling the front of the boat for the 5hr. tournament. And a job well done. They both got to fish their areas and w/all their fish being caught in a mutually agreed location.
Joel's big bass was a nice largemouth that went 3.78 and his (2) fish came in at around 6.5lbs or more. Chase's big fish & only fish was yet another nice largemouth at 3.3lbs.
It was a tough day to say the least, but all the kids went home w/something or another. Michigan Out-of-Doors was there to film the action and will air sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Lets wish Joel & Chase all the good luck and a chance to see the big show this fall.

thanks...
