This past weekend the BASS Federation Nation held it's Northern Divisional Tournament at Lake Winnebago, Oshkosh Wisc. The Divisional determines each state's Federation Nation qualifier for the Federation Nation National Championship that determines which Federation anglers make it to the Bassmasters Classic.
Bill Ludenia, my Bass Snatcher partner at Pokegama Lake came in 5th place at the Divisional. Unfortunatly an angler from Rochester Minnesocold came in 4th place and will be the MN representative at the Federation Nation National Championship. Bill was 1lb 2oz short. In the 3 day tournament he caught 14 out of a possible 15 keepers, so basically he was 1 keeper shy of the Championship. WI has a no cull rule, so it's possible that Bill threw back that 1 keeper in the hopes of getting a larger fish.
Also fishing the Divisional were BassNblogger Rich "Hellabass" Lindgren and the Baxter Bass Snatcher who will be my tournament partner next Saturday on North Long Lake, Chuck Steinbauer. Hellabass came in a very respectable 7th just 1lb 11ozs from being the Minnesocold top stick. Chuck came in 47th in the field of 96.
I am sure Hellabass will have his tournament blogged soon.
