Clear Fork RDM Tourney Results

[Rob VanGorder]

2009 Russ Dodridge Memorial Tournament at Clear Fork
May 30-31

We had 29 anglers (including 3 youth) sign up to fish and 14 muskies over 30" were boated.

Congrats to Bill Moore for doubling with two huskies on Sunday to win. Thanks to Johnny and Bernice for Saturday's shore lunch. The minnow fund 50/50 added another $115 to our pledge of support this year. A big thank you to Jack Worline for putting on another great tournament. Jack was rewarded with a huskie 43" and 2nd place for his efforts.

I'm just curious why Bill Moore 44", 46",Jack Worline 43",caught & released muskies bigger then the 41" muskie from Ohio that won the May Musky CPR Contest and never entered them? Its to late now to enter their muskies because the Legend Tournament Big Dawg 8'-6" Rod has already been awarded and the contest is over.I was hopeing there was better comunication about whats posted on your Chapters Message Board.
Next year I will send flyers to hand out at your meetings about the tournaments in April & May.

We sure missed the boat on that one, Larry. I forgot all about your contest. Gee whiz, I even had a 43.5"er in May. Maybe this will teach us a lesson to keep up with what is available.

I have attached some pictures of the bigger fish from the tournament.
I sure had a good time and it was great to see all the nice fish being caught.
About time Clear Fork put out some good ones.
