West Michigan Power Pole Tour = Big Turn Out and Big Payback! (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/tournaments/index.php/2012/06/04/power-pole-tour-muskegon-lake-results)

The first West Michigan Power Pole recently kicked off on Muskegon Lake. This inaugural event drew in 56 teams from Michigan and surrounding states. Despite the extreme high winds teams were able to get out and find the fish, and find the fish they did. 49 of the 56 teams weighed in at least one fish and over 30 limits were brought to the scales.
