Frank’s Great Outdoors – Challenge 2

July 24, 2021 on Houghton Lake

TOURNAMENT RESULTS

Top Bass, held it’s fifth tournament of the 2021 season, on Houghton Lake, on July 24^th. This event, was named “Frank’s Great Outdoors – Challenge 2”, in honor of a great sponsor of Top Bass.

The weather for this tournament was not very good, as we had wind, heavy rain and mostly cloudy, with temps in the 70’s.

The severe weather kept some home, and had a negative affect on fishing, due to the rough lake conditions. We had only 14 limits come to the scales.

A Special, Thank You, to Frank’s Great Outdoors, for sponsoring the 2 lake Challenges.

Congratulations to Andy Maier, from Midland, who won this event with a limit at 14.46#. Second Place went to Mike Parsons, from Clare, with 13.52#, which included Big Bass for the event @ 5.35#.

Paul Affholder, from Traverse City took 3^rd Place with 13.22#. Fourth Place was held down by Steve Glynn, from Midland, with 13.03#.
