Only about 2 pounds, 3 ounces separated first from seventh place in the Southern Ohio Bassmasters club tournament at Piedmont Lake Saturday, May 15. The top seven finishers all had five-fish limits and the placings just depended on who caught slightly larger fish.
Mike Baughman of Crooksville took top honors with 6 pounds, 13.8 ounces, only four ounces ahead of Eric Woodrow of Duncan Falls, who had 6 pounds, 9.6 ounces. Unfortunately for Eric, he had one fish die and the resulting 8-ounce penalty dropped him from first to second.
Chad Lighthizer of Zanesville was less than an ounce behind Eric, with 6 pounds, 9 ounces, and Terry Ryan of Zanesville finished fourth with 5 pounds, 9.6 ounces.
Alan Fulks of Zanesville placed fifth with 5 pounds, 6 ounces and Devin Hutchinson took big bass honors with a 2-pound, 10.4-ounce fish.
To complete the limits (and to get my own name in here(, Debbie Woodrow was sixth with 5 pounds, 1.8 ounces and I was seventh with four pounds, 10 ounces. (most of my fish were about 13 inches long and they still didn't average a pound each!)
Out of 28 members fishing the event, 24 weighed in 66 bass. I think two or three smallmouth were weighed in.
The club's next tournament is June 5 at Charles Mill.
