The teams were greeted at 4:45AM with the great hospitality Birch Lakes Resort has provided WTC for the last 12 years.  Bev had plenty of coffee and more pastries than the guys and gals could possibly eat.

The weather was unstable.  The sun would come out for a few moments, then the clouds would roll in and it would rain for a few minutes.  It alternated like this all day.  Despite this unstable weather, the 48 teams still brought 162 bass to the scale weighing a total of 358.04 pounds.  Twenty three of the teams managed a 5 fish limit.  The weighing bag was brought in by the team of Robert Flatten and Ed Dye.  There winning weight was 13.83 pounds and was worth $1200.  Big bass of the tournament was brought in by the 2^nd place team of Ron Welch and Gene Parker.  This 4.22 lunker was worth $450.

This tournament did a lot to mix-up the year-to-date points.  Many teams needed the finish they got at this tournament to keep them in the running to qualify for Wisconsin Bass Classic-2009.

 Please take a moment to review the total results of this tournament and the year-to-date point standing.  The race for Top Team is going to be a real “shoot-out”.
