Local angler and Member
of Bass Fishn' Canada, Mike Desforges made a wise choice when he passed
up his spot in the CFT Classic this weekend, he has won his first BASS
event, taking a winning weight of smallies from Lake Erie at the CITGO
Bassmaster Northern Open. Mike reportedly remaked to media "It's awesome,
I always seem to be close to winning at these bigger tournaments but I've
never done it before." His 53 lbs, 2 ozs was enough for a first place finish
and a $50,000 cheque. Mike also shared Big Fish on Saturday with Daniel
Lyle.
Other locals also did well,
Gaspare Costabille, came in a respectable 3rd with 52 lbs. 01 oz. and Jim
Tedesko won on the amateur side this is also the first time ever for Canadians!
