Leech Summary

Leech Lake Summary July 8, 2006 Figured I better get this out before Pokegama comes and goes. Yeah, yeah, it was so windy a bird laid the same egg three times. Yeah, yeah, it was so hot the squirrels were fanning their nuts. Well one guy that neither laid an egg nor fanned his nuts was Dennis Lothspeich who came to the scales with a whopping limit weighing 21-9. Damn! I did it again. Dennis didn’t win, he got second and is hereby declared worthless to us. Top lab in this dog fight was Bill Ludenia whose bag came in at 22-9. An incredible weight by any standard but if you take away his 5-2 lunker, the rest of the bag only averaged three and a half pounds. Bill was in Sucker Bay fishing reeds, docks, and rice, which pretty much covers everything. He was pitching black/blue jigs and figures he caught about 18 keepers. In addition to second place, Dennis caught a 6-3 lunker worth $1,030 from the big bass pot and $28 from the little pot (thanks for sharing). Said lunker was caught less than 500 yards from our blast-off and was caught on a brown bruiser craw-tube. From their start spot they moved just around the corner to Waboose Bay where Dennis figured he caught 20 fish in cattails and undercut banks. Third place, breathing down the backs of the front runners, a mere five pounds behind second, was Chuck Steinbauer, who uses both the clear and the cream, with a bag of less Herculean proportions weighing 16-12. Chas made the run to Big Boy (who else would be so stupid) where he got his initial limit running docks tossing a jig/Chomper combo. From there, running the Boy River on plane the entire way in Nate’s boat, they went to Sucker Bay where he culled all but two Boy fish throwing the nasty blue bruiser craw/tube in the reeds. Helluva tournament men. _________ SHORTS! Anyone wishing to jump into the depleted big bass pot can do so for the paltry sum of $15 which covers you through the rest of this year. Musings while visiting Dr. Jellyfinger. “You put your right hand in, you take your right hand out, you put your right hand in and you…..” “Now I know what its like to be a Muppet.” “Hey, Doc, as long as you’re up there, can you check and write my wife a note to assure her of where my head is not?”
