Pete Taylor Memorial
I also finally received the results of the 34th annual Pete Taylor Memorial Tournament, held May 1 at Buckeye Lake, sponsored by Cranberry Marsh Bass Club. Proceeds this year went to Hospice of Central Ohio. Anglers fish for fun (and trophies), but the winner also received a $100 gift certificate from Bob's Outdoor Supply on Union Street in Newark.

Don Grant finished third with another five-fish limit, his weighing 6.61 pounds, while Todd Welker placed fourth with three bass weighing 6.52 pounds. Welker also had the big bass of the contest, a 3.4-pound fish.
In fifth was Charlie Gray with five bass weighing 6.35 pounds; unfortunately, he had one dead fish.
