GREAT LAKES KAYAK FISHING SERIES
SEPTEMBER 8 - MANITOWOC MARINA, WISCONSIN
We had 18 participants for our final event, but only a total of 4 fish caught. Needless to say it was definitely a tough bite this year compared to last.
In 3rd place with 29 inches was Nick Van Gompel who took home $165.13 in cash.
1st and 2nd place measured on the custom made Ketch board for us was too close, so we had the help of the Wisconsin DNR help officially measure the last 2 fish.
In 2nd place with 38.74 inches was Don Thompson and took home $247.69 in cash.
In 1st place with 38.97 was Chad Gulseth, which also landed him big fish and took home a combined total of $582.82 in cash.
Our AOY Winner this year winning $500 in cash, and Lowrance Hook 7 unit was Keith Gelhar with a total of 280 points.
