We had another great Chapter challunge this past weekend. Lots of rain, but other than late Sat afternoon, we had pretty decent fishing conditions. The lake came up nearly a foot by Sunday am and some of the upper creek arms were muddy.
There were 73 people registered to fish, with 20 from Central Ohio chapter. 10 fish were turned in, with 4 over 40".
Chapter 19, Akron-Canton won the the challunge. They only won by a 1/4" over Central Ohio, so it was very close. Mike Ellis caught 2 fish, a 35" and a 36", 1 casting and 1 trolling to win the challunge for chapter 19.
Robert Smart from Central Ohio chapter got the big fish prize trolling, a nice 44.75"er. Other Central Ohio fish caught was Robert Nevilles 38.25".
The shore lunch was very good, Guy Bechter and Kevin Proffit grilled up Hamburgs, Dogs and Brats. There was a variety of tasty dishes on the table and if you went away hungry it was your own fault. Many thanks to Guy, Kevin and all the other folks who brought the side dishes.
Don't forget to dry out all your camping gear, rain coats, and boats. I have a bunch of stuff to dry out myself.
Thanks to all who participated. I had a good time and looking forward to next year.
