Congratulations to
MadWags and
Briboy for their big catch of 21-11 in beautiful Lake St Clair smallmouth bass taking 1st place by a mere 3 ounces over last year's champ cast n blast (fishing with TCook this year)!!! The weather was not the greatest, but the fishing was still pretty good for most of us.

1 Big 'Junk' Fish Winner
*
2 Big Bass winner
I think everyone caught bass almost to a person, but a couple teams were ultra-conservation minded and save their bass additional strain by not turning in their score sheets!! ;D
The online DK Open Champions Plaque (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/fishing/dkopenhx.html) has been updated with the latest tournament results - you can see who has been victorious to date!
MadWags and Briboy took home a whopping $102 and prizes for their 1st place finish.
Missing his 2nd Spring DK Open victory in a row by a mere 3 ounces, this time fishing with TCook, cast n blast and TCook received $68 (or 18 gallons of gas ;D) and prizes including Kim Stricker's Smallmouth Neighborhood Vol II DVD (http://www.hooknlook.com/) for their big 21-8 catch of smallies.
cast n blast also took the coveted Big Junk Fish Award of a KaRu Vibra Series Sampler kit for his 7-2 Northern Pike, beating out chunky sheepshead challenges by Briboy and Hooksetter.
Big Bass of a whopping 5-12 measurement (which means it was probably well over 6 in Lake St Clair spring fat) was caught by perennial high finisher and 2-time champion Jay-MadWags. Jason received $68 and a very nice Grandt All American Series spinning rod (http://www.grandtrods.com/) for his huge catch (I saw him catch it too)!!
Forgot to mention some of the other great prizes for 1st place and big bass - courtesy of Wonderland Marine West (http://www.wonderlandmarinewest.com/) - first place and big bass both receive gift certificates they can use for supplies, oil, whatever at their extensive store.
