Y-City at Burr Oak

April 17 was a windy day to be out fishing, but the Y-City Bass Club braved the elements at Burr Oak that day. The results were not up to Burr Oak standards, but catching anything under those conditions is an accomplishment.
The Y-City club had 28 members fish, and 11 caught a total of 12 keeper bass. Chad Lighthizer was the only angler to bring in two keepers, which weighed 6.72 pounds. His catch included the big bass of the contest, which weighed 4.62 pounds.
With one fish each, Tyler Shawger finished second with 4.33 pounds, Kenny Simpson placed third with 3.88 pounds, Mike King took fourth with 3.72 pounds and Jeff Turner was fifth with 3.45 pounds.
Although no huge fish were caught and the numbers weren't there, the smallest fish weighed 2.72 pounds, which speaks well of the quality of the bass fishing at Burr Oak.
