The 2009 version of the clubs spring "Open" tournament is in the books and it was a pretty lucrative outing for the winner. Ron Sanford was the champ when he brought in just over 13 pounds to the scales. Fortunately for Ron, he was fishing by himself in the team event so he was able to pocket all of the $450 first prize by himself. Ron also caught the big bass of the event at 3.89 pounds to add another $200 to his winnings. Pattern notes were not available but I heard through the grapevine that he was just "junk fishing" in the slop which is a pretty popular pattern this time of year on Michigan Center.
John Bittinger and Bob Rumsey took second with 11.07 pounds and earn $250 while Chad Hamlin and Bob Richardson held down third with 10.13pounds which paid $100. There were 14 boats in all which was down a little from last years 23 entries. Special thanks to club member Kathy Maurer for running such a fine event which is also a fundraiser for the club. We will get back to the regular season schedule this weekend up at Goguac in Battle Creek.
