--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first WBSA walleye tournament was held at the Black River Warf in Lorain, Ohio. It was scheduled for June 19th, but because of bad weather, it was postponed until June 20th. The weather was great with low winds. Although fish were marked in many places, the bite was pretty slow. We had a total of 18 teams with 17 hopefulls entering the pot for big fish. This was a total of 58 people fishing. There were 3-2 man teams, 10-3 man teams, 3-4 man teams, and 2 5- man teams. Takeoff went very well with Steve Carlson giving the rules as the boaters idled their way down the river. All teams were back in by check in time. 10 teams weighed 5 fish each, 3 teams weighed 3 fish each, and 5 teams weighed no fish. Winners were:

1st Place- Ronnie Rhodes / Guy Ledman
5 fish for #28.5 Payout $1,253.00

2nd Place- Steve Carlson / Jim Stedke / Jay Parks
5 fish for #27.85 Payout $626.00

We had drawings for prizes after the payouts for numerous fishing items such as rods, reels, gift certificates, and lures. These were generously donated by area merchants. We had a total of $1,210.00 in merchandise donations. Thank you to the following merchants who donated items.

Reef Runner Lures, Marblehead / Cranberry Creek Marina, Huron / Sportsman's Outpost, Vermillion / Fisherman's Warf, Pt. Clinton / Rodmakers, Strongsville / Erie Outfitters, Avon / South Shore Marine, Huron / Hi-Way Bait, Marblehead / Dave's Bait, Vermillion / Moonlight Fishing Co., New York / Pa's Lures.
