TOURNAMENT RESULTS

Top Bass Tournament Trail, held their second tournament of the 2022 season, on Saginaw River/Bay. The tournament launched from the township launch, next to the USS Edison ship & museum. This tournament was named “The Mercury Marine Open”, after one of our great sponsors.

A special Thank You, to Mercury Marine & Michelle Kilburn, for their continued support of Top Bass.

The weather for the tournament was good, with the Temp. near 80, and light winds for the bay.

The fishing was good as we had 37 limits, and a total of 226 bass, come to the scales, with 100% of them going back into the river alive. Good job to all that fished, on keeping your fish alive.

Congratulations to Jamie Sochocki, from Bridgeport, who ran away from the field, to win 1^st Place, by almost 2 ½ pounds, with a quality bag that turned the scales at 21.42#. Second Place went to Peter Jones from Midland, with a nice bag at 19.11#. He was followed by Jim Clevinger, from Beaverton, with a limit at 18.66#, which was anchored by Big Bass for the tournament at 4.92#. We then had Billy Booth, from Midland, in 4^th Place with 16.50#. Ron Conner, from Oxford, finished in 5^th Place, with 15.93#, and said that it was the first time he had cashed in all the tournaments that he had fished on the Bay.
