 Indian
Lake is one of the most heavily used bodies of water in Ohio both by
recreational boaters as well as fisherman. The Trophy Bassmasters consider
Indian as their home lake as they are only 25 miles away. Competing on
Indian Lake during the hot summer months usually produces fair numbers of
bass but the size is typically lacking. Such was the case last weekend as
the Trophy club traveled to Indian for their annual competition. Eighteen
members caught 43 largemouth that only weighed 51.03lbs. All but 1 were
released alive. That 1 dead fish played a big role however. Judd Rarey
brought in the largest weight of the tournament with 4 bass weighing
5.81lbs. His bag also included the day’s big bass, a 2.27lb fish. Rarey had
the dead fish though as 1 of his 4. There is a 2oz penalty for a dead fish
which gave Rarey a net weight of 5.68lbs. Larry Pennington brought in a 5
bass limit that weighed 5.71lb giving him the win by .03lbs or ˝oz. Boyd
Downey was the 3rd place finisher. He had 5.44lbs in his 5 fish
limit. As the end of the season gets closer a scoring rule begins to come
into effect. Only each member’s best 9 of the 12 tournaments can be scored
for Mr. Bass points. This allows a member to have a poor performance or a
date conflict and still be able to stay in contention for the championship.
The next few tournaments could send a big shake up through the point list.
As it stands now Judd Rarey and Nick McCullough still lead the pack. |
