Indian Creek Dam

The bass were not cooperating very well that day and only 5 total bass were caught and weighed in at the end of the day. Tournament winner James Francis weighed in 2 fish for a winning combined weight of 5.74lbs, Paul Reinbold came in with a giant largemouth bass that tipped the scales at 4.13lbs which was good enough for a 2nd place finish. Reinbold's bass also took top honors for big bass of the tournament that gave him an extra 1 point boost in the Angler of the Year award. Also catching a giant bass was Janine Wetzel of Mandan who caught a monster of a smallmouth that weighed 3.87lbs which was good enough for a 3rd place finish. This smallmouth is the biggest smallmouth of the 2009 current season so far, it just may win the biggest smallmouth award at the end of the tour season! And coming in at the his second consecutive 4th place finish for the year was Deryk Voller with a nice largemouth bass that weighed 2.92lbs. If Voller keeps up his strong finishes he just may sneek out a AOY title! (angler of the year).

Despite the slow fishing action from the bass, the Bandits enjoyed the occasional bite from the nice walleyes that Indian Creek has to offer. The next stop for the 2009 season is at Sweet Briar for the "Interstate Round-up" on June 13th. This will be a interesting event because it will be the club's first ever team tournament! The club anglers are already dreaming about holding up that Championship trophy! Until then keep your lines tight!
