Big 10 Bass Tournament:
The Big 10 Bass tournament was held on October 11th on Lake St. Clair Michigan.  A combination of tough weather, last minute boat emergencies, and the daunting task of figuring out the enormous St. Clair resulted in the Wisconsin team falling short in their quest to win the tournament.  Michigan State caught some decent fish and their team took home the 1st place trophy (go figure). 



This 5lb 14oz bass was caught by Zach Morris during prefishing on Saturday.  Unfortunately the UW team could not be saved by the bell on tournament day, and were unable screech out any big fish like this one.


Mendota Catfish Outing
Four Catfish were caught on the September 16th outing.  Fish ranged from 25 to 31 inches.


Pictures(in order): Callie with the first fish of the night,   Max with fish #2 of the night,   
Tyler "Catfish" with the smallest fish of the night,   Aaron with the biggest fish of the night,   and Justin & Tracy just enjoying being out there.
