Words from the President

The Brainerd Lakes Bassmasters' first tournament of the year on Lake Edward was great. The weather cooperated, and the wind was fairly quiet. The fish were biting, too. All boats had a limit of bass in the livewell. Most of the fish brought to the scales were smallmouth bass. The smallies were caught in the reeds in shallow water. More than one boat was on this pattern. And our new digital scale weighed the fish very nicely.

Keith Tuma is out to prove that last year's Angler of the Year Title was no fluke. Keith teamed with Troy Bruns to take first place honors. Their bag consisted of five smallmouths. Keith also earned the big bass award. Congratulations to Keith and Troy.

The second place trophy went to Rod Romine and Nick Koschmeder. They, too, brought in a limit of smallmouth bass. Good job Rod and Nick.

The Good Samaritan Award goes to Greg Kangas and Justin Goss. The happened upon a guy whose boat had lost all power. Greg and Justin took time out of their fishing to tow the man to shore. Way to go Greg and Justin! Acts like this make the club look good.

So we are off and running. It will be a good year. Our next tournament is July 9, at Pelican Lake. Blast off is at 7:00 AM. If you cannot make it, please let Jim Eide know by the Wednesday before the tournament. See you all at Pelican.
