21st Annual Sunrise Supporting Youth Bass Tournament (9/27/09)

posted Sep 29, 2009 10:34 AM by Sunrise Bassmasters   [ updated Jan 6, 2010 3:15 PM ]

Official Results
Sunrise Bassmasters held the 21st annual YSB tournament on Sunday at Big Marine Lake.  Anglers had a frontal system to contend with, which produced strong winds that shifted from a Southerly to a West/North Westerly direction.  Ted Capra and Travis Petterson took home first place despite having their batteries go out at the start of the day.  They were able to borrow an anchor from a friendly angler and were able to hold their boat on their fishing holes.

Afterward, there was concessions top be had, and a raffle for door prizes to raise money for the Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau.  Jeff Hoberg, of the Sportsmen Bassmasters club, was the lucky winner of the top raffle prize - A certificate for a custom sublimated tournament jersey from Gemini Sports Marketing, a $150 value!

Sunrise Bassmasters would like to thank the Vet's Camp for hosting our weigh-in, and all the generous people and companies who donated raffle items and their time to make this possible.

Nick Wilson officially wins the Sunrise Bassmasters AOY title.
