. It already looks like there will be good numbers for next year.The season was capped off yeasterday with the STEVE LEE MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT on the Rideau River at Taylor park. A day where everyone remembered a great angler and person in Steve who tragically past away last year. $25 from each entry was collected for Steve's family and I think $625 was raised. Great job everyone.
The day was cool and a cold wind picked up mid day with sunny and cloudy periods through out the day. Fishing was tough and Jim W. and I didn't get our first legal fish till 1pm, a dink largemouth off a dock with a blue and black 3" tube.Althouth Jim did tie into a really fat 36" muskie on a tube which gave him an awsome fight on his 5"6' tub rod. We landed it and relased her and she took off like a rocket. I got bit off by one while using a Senco type bait and Jim had another follow. We almost forgot we were in a bass tourney
. We went back to the flats and threw spinner baits the rest of the day. Jim picked up 2 more small largemouth and I lost 2(sorry Jim 
) in the weeds. It was 3:30 and we tried one last spot and boom Jim has a good hit, sets the hook and with my horrable net job we got her in the boat. A great 4.05 largie. Great we have 4 fish lets go weigh-in. When we got in many people were talking about the hard day it was, Jim and I were happy with that because we ended up 9th and cashed a cheque(even if it was small). thanks again to Jim for pulling our butt out of the fire at the last minute and thanks to everyone who came out to support a great cause.See u all at the muskie outing on Oct. 30th.
Cheers
