7 Jun by Tom Patten

41 teams blasted off on a beautiful Michigan morning that included sunny skies and light winds in pursuit of five of the biggest smallmouth on Elk and Torch Lake. While most of the field searched for their best five on beds, the $6500.00 winners went after the pre-spawn giants, and boy did that payoff. The team of Dylan Matus and Colin DeRidder netted over 24 pounds of Michigan's bronze backs including a 6.50 lbs TANK. Great work gentlemen!

The second place team of Mitch Straffon and Paxton Giem didnt have a bad day either. They sacked up five bronzebacks that come in at 23.14 lbs. Good enough for a $2500 check. Well done guys!

Third place honors went to a couple of the older boys, LOL! Scott Tyrell an Jason Willbur said don't forget about us because we smacked 21.62 lbs and cashed for $1500. Good work boys!

A huge shout out to the RecLending Team for providing a $400 bonus drawing and some RecLending swag to a lucky team at all four of our series tournaments. The lucky winners this tournament goes to Guy Procopio and Martin Subject. Congradulations Gentlemen.

We will see everyone on Houghton Lake in July!
