The Central Ohio Chapter held its first club tournament of the year, the John Fisher, at Clear Fork Lake April 28 and 29. A total of 47 anglers (including 4 youth members) fished the two day event. Saturday included cold winds and two good ice storms. The weather cooperated for a much nicer day on the water on Sunday. The fish cooperated both days.

There were a total of 21 legal fish reported. 10 fish were caught casting and 11 trolling. George Smart and Mark Pauling put on a great shore lunch on Saturday and timed it perfectly with the worst of the ice storms hitting during lunch. A 50/50 raffle at lunch raised another $160 for the minnow fund. Here are the results:

1st Place - Cliff Honeycutt 36.25", 38" (casting)
2nd Place - Suzanne Skunza 30", 31.5", 37" (trolling)
3rd Place - Bob Sisson 34.5", 36.5" (casting)

Chuck Wilbert 39.75", 30.5" (trolling)
Don Sandy 43" (trolling)
Luke VanGorder 41" (casting)
Mark Deuschle 38.5" (trolling)
Randy Parker 37.5" (casting)
George Smart 37.5" (casting)
Gary Soloman 37.5" (trolling)
Ron Murdock 34.5" (casting)
Tom Rankin 34" (casting)
Ray McMaster 34" (casting)
Drenda Kemp 32" (trolling)
Fred Lederer 31.5" (trolling)
Bob Smart 31.25" (trolling)

Thanks to George Smart for putting on another great tournament, and thanks to everyone who came out.
