Wisconsin Bass
Classic V will go into the books as the
“best ever”. Everything from the warm
welcome we received from the Minocqua-Arbor
Vitae-Woodruff community, the great
hospitality of our host hotel, The Pointe
Hotel and Suites, and our tournament site,
Bosacki’s Boat House.
As is common
of the fall in Wisconsin, the competitors
were exposed to all kinds of weather, from
cool and rainy to sunny and warm. This
change in weather did not seem to have a
measurable amount of impact on a lot of the
fish anglers found. The competitors
mentioned catching a lot of fish, even if
for some, those fish were small. As is
usually the case in bass tournaments, some
of the competitors managed to put it
together and come away with money in their
pockets. All of them came away with many
memorable happenings of Wisconsin Bass
Classic V.
Forty three
teams qualified to attend Classic V, through
accumulating 300 points in the qualifying
tournaments held in the two Series, Bill’s
Series and Bear’s Series. You can view the
total points of each team in other sections
of this website. Forty of the forty three
teams competed in Classic V. In the two
days of actual competition, these team
brought a total of 215 bass, a combination
of largemouth and smallmouth, weighing a
total of 440.71 pounds to the scales. The
team of Jason Sosebee and Mike McEvoy
managed to hold off the competition and beat
the second place team of Dennis Rhead and
Chad Maves by a mere 1 pound, to claim the
winning prize of $5000. The third place
team of Larry Thorson and Rod Platson,
leading the pack after Day 1, needed that
fifth fish on day two, which never came.
The team of Jim Welch and Andy Siverling did
not have a legal fish to weigh on Day 1.
Their strategy was to fish on Day 2 for that
one “big bite”. That bite came in the form
of a 4.98 pound largemouth, capturing the
Bosacki Big Bass Award, that was worth
$1500.
