Whitefish Bay Bass tournament

The last Sunset Country bass tournament of the year took place October 1-2 out of Whitefish Bay on Lake of the Woods.  20 boats participated and the tournament was won by Sioux Narrows anglers Brian McNanney and Matt Rydberg with 40 pounds, 1 ounce, mostly smallmouths.  Mike Reid and I ended up 7th with 33 pounds.  I never did find a print off of the results for this tournament.  Murphy Paypompee and Thomas White ended up 2nd, while Ted Stewner and Scotia Stewner finished 3rd.  The weather was really nice both days and that seemed to have a bit of a negative impact on the fishing...the weights were not as large overall as other years.
