Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Last Saturday was another good Fishers of Men Tournament. It was a nice fishing day with limits of largemouth bass caught by everyone, Jig and pig and crankbaits off the edges were the order of the day. Father and son Team of Don and Alex Watts pulled off another win as Alex scored on a nice fish just before weigh in. The battle for second and third was a close one seperated by .10 of a lb.

Don and Alex Watts one of our Adult Junior teams came in first with second place Big bass honors.Don and Alex won with a 13.70-lb victory. This is their third victory this year. Good Job!

We had nine people in attendance for our evening meal and many people opened up too the situations in their life that needed prayer. My Mom who is recovering from a stay in the hospital was their and truly enjoyed her "Picnic", it was also nice to see Len Harris wife and my wife togeather and we enjoyed an Icecream social after the meeting. God was glorified by the message on Admiting, Commiting, releasing and resisting our needs to him in prayer and trust.

Len Harris and Ron Norris took home second place and 1st place Big bass at 11.33 lbs / 3.15 lbs and a set of 9 ballbearing Okuma reels compliments of our newest sponsor DICKS Sports in Muskegon MI, thanks Jim.

John Shafer and Jeff Jamerson caught a great limit and came in third with 11.23 lbs/ 3.02 for their big fish. John and Jeff are on track to be our points champions winning the pot , jackets and an automatic bert into the national championship. Way to go guys.
