It is hard to believe this is the fourth and final qualifying tournament for the Bear’s Series in 2008.  The whole tournament day was picture perfect, with temperatures in the low eighties, low humidity and calm winds.  The forty-eight teams in this Series, in only the 3rd year of their existence, set a new eleven-year WTC record with 209 bass brought to the scales, weighing a whopping 484.11 pounds.  Thirty-eight teams had a 5-fish limit.  It was a real “fish-fest.”

Congratulations to the father/son team of Scott and Rick Wilhelm for taking 1st place honors with a 5-fish limit weighing 16.81 pounds.  This was worth $1000 for their efforts.  Big Bass honors went to the team of Mark Rosencranz and Bob Turgeon with a beauty weighing in at 4.73 pounds and worth $470.  Please check out all the results of this tournament on this site.

The staff at Birch Lakes Resort again did an excellent job, which they have done for the past eleven years, of greeting the competitors and making them welcome with coffee and pastries.

Congratulations to the team of Pat Schlapper and Rob Yule for capturing “Top Team” honors for the second year in a row.  Each will receive a St. Croix Avid Rod and will fish for free in the Wisconsin Team Circuit division of their choice in 2009.

Congratulations to the 35 teams who managed to qualify for the Wisconsin Bass Classic-2008, to be held beginning September 17th in Minocqua, Wisconsin.

Thank you to our anglers, sponsors and hosts site for making 2008 another success for Wisconsin Team Circuit.  See you in 2009.
