2013 Green Lake Regional AYA Fishing Tournament The fifth annual Green Lake AYA Fishing Tournament took place on Saturday, June 15th. This year 50 boats, 50 adult anglers and 89 young anglers descended on Big Green Lake in search of the five small mouth bass that could win them 1st place. Each team consisted of one adult angler and two young anglers, 17 and under. The focus of the tournament is young anglers working with adult mentors, not just to catch fish, but to spend the day making memories and creating bonds that will last a lifetime. Each team is allowed to bring to the weigh-in a maximum of five small mouth bass and all the stories of the ‘bigger’ one that got away. The team of Brett Anderson, adult angler, Princeton, WI. and young anglers, Jacob Anderson, Princeton, WI and Bryce Smith, Cambria, WI, took first place by catching five small mouth bass weighing in at a recording breaking 17.34 pounds! Not only did they win a Lund A-12 fishing boat powered by a 4HP Mercury 4 stroke outboard on a Shorelandr’ trailer, they will also head to Kenora, Ontario, Canada in August, to compete at the International AYA Fishing Championship. The Big Fish Boy award and plaque went to Bryce Smith with a bass weighing in at 4.06 pounds. Emma Pavey and Abby Gedville, both took the Big Fish Girl award and plaque, each catching a fish weighing in at 3.04 pounds. In all, 124 fish weighing nearly 300 pounds was caught during the tournament. All of the fish caught were returned to the waters of Green Lake by members of Walleyes for Tomorrow. Each young angler took home a rod/reel/line, a soft-sided tackle box, over 25 lures, a trophy, a bag of goodies and a wonderful memory of a day spent on Green Lake. We are already planning for next year, so save the date, June 14, 2014! Norton’s Dry Dock would like to once again thank the sponsors for their generosity in making this event such a great success.
