TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Shoe’s Top Bass Tournament Trail, held its 3rd tournament of the 2024 season, on Lake St. Helen on June 15th, 2024. The tournament launched out of the Richfield Township Boat Launch on Lake St. Helen. The weather for the tournament was partly cloudy and temp in the 70’s, with about 10-14mph winds.
The fishing was tough in the wind, but there were a good number of bass that came to the scales.
We had 37 limits and several with 3-4 bass that were weighed in. The limits for the most part were small, as there were only 18 bass over 3# and 3 over 4# that made it to the scales.
Congratulations to Andy Maier, from Midland, who won this event with a 5 fish limit at 15.93#. Billy Booth, from Midland, was close behind in Second Place with 15.41#. In Third Place, we had KJeith Gyulveszi, from Clare with 13.63#, and was anchored by Big Bass for the tournament at 4.63#. Fourth Place was held down by Al German, from Vassar with 13.35#. We then had Doctor Dave Newcomb, from Hope, who was back with us, and he took down Fifth Place with 13.28#.

We want to give a special “Thank You” to Johnson Outdoors’s – Humminbird & Minn Kota, for being the title sponsors of this tournament.
