The Portage River tournament results have been posted on our website at www.trophybassmasters.com.

The Trophy Bassmaster of Kenton traveled to Port Clinton, Ohio to fish the Portage River. This was the 13th club tournament of the year. The fishermen were restricted to the river only out to the end of the channel which enters Lake Erie. Again, the weather was seasonably mild and a bit cooler. Fishing was tougher than last year’s tournament during the same month with muddy water conditions f0llowing a heavy rain only 3 days earlier. Last year 15 anglers competed for 37 total fish weighing 68.51 pounds. This year the same number of fishermen only caught 29 fish weighing 49.60 pounds.

With only 5 regular club tournaments remaining this year Don Ratcliff increased his lead over the pack by a few points to grab a solid lead in this year’s Angler of the Year competition.

Don Ratcliff and Kelly Dearwester did manage to land a 5 bass limit for first and second place respectively. Don collected the trophy and won big bass points with a fish that weighed 2.69 pounds. Larry Pennington caught 4 bass for 3rd place.
