The Northeastern Ohio Trail headed back north for it's third event of the year for a show down at West Branch Lake. With the Walker Boys holding a slight lead in the Anglers of the Year points standing over the team of Jamie Fabian and Cecil Vandyne, it looked to be an exciting day. However, both teams knew they could not count out local favorites in the team of Nick Prvonozac and Rob Hladio. When the clouds cleared (They did clear, right guys?), Nick and Rob was able to hold off both of the top two teams along with the rest of the field by catching their limit with a weight of 6.88 pounds and laid claim to their first Anglers Choice crown. In doing so, they cashed a check for $800.

"The Gamblers", Brett Pomeroy and Jason Abbot gained some ground in the Anglers of the Year race and cashed a check for the second straight event by weighing in five fish for a total of 6.12 pounds. With their second place finish, Brett and Jason walked away with $460. and more importantly, now have the Walkers within striking distance.

Three's a charm? Ask Al Masaitis and Bob Easton, who sandwiched a third place finish at Mosquito with another third place finish here at West Branch around a disappointing finish at Salt Fork. I'm sure if you ask Al or Bob they would say, one is the loneliest number, but they would take it!

Both Charlie Walker and Bob Easton shared Big Bass honors with two whopping, unbelievable, spectacular 1.94-pound lunkers! Charlie & Bob, I tried to make them sound bigger !!

By the way the crappies were on, sounds like we should have had a crappie tournament instead. Thanks for the crappies Bob!

Okay guys, we are now headed back to Mosquito Lake on June 13th, let's break this ten-pound barrier and net some limits! The tournament site will be at the State Park Ramp (Rt. 305) and will blast off at 7:00 AM.

Once again, the N/E Ohio Trail thanks our local sponsors in: The Safety Group, Inc. and Cardida Corporation.
