Tournament Results
Henderson & Chartrand Rule on Temiskaming
John Henderson & Don Chartrand once again proved that when it comes to finding fish on Lake
Temiskaming they are the team to do it.
John & Don came in with a weight of 20.32lbs , to take 1st. place that’s over a 4lb average,
and the team said they had a hard time culling fish , because all the fish they threw back where just about the same size.
I talked to John after the event and he told me where they where fishing and what they where
using, he said in the lake and lures.
Hot on the team’s heels where Norm Paiement & Brent Polson who came in with 19.1lbs to take
second place. They said it was rough fishing as 3 to 4 foot waves kept the team on their toes as they fished ,
and by the way they fished the same spots and used the same lures as John & Don.
Rounding out the 3rd place was the poor old team of Jason Mazzocato & Paul Boucher, with 16.12lbs. This team has been on fire all year and consistently bringing good catches to the scales.
Big Fish, well that would have to be won by two old boys that only fish for big fish. Denis Aubin & Wayne Barnes
brought in a Bass that weighted 5.02lbs, that I could have beat but I threw the wrong fish out when I culled.
Now most people think that they can’t compete against the anglers who have been fishing for years. They also think we started out with our Bass boats , Electronics, and $300.oo rods & reels.
Well that’s not what really happened, we started out just like the two young anglers who just joined our Series, Isaac & Sam Lauzon.
These two young fellers fished all day out of a 12ft aluminum boat in 3 to 4 ft waves and brought in 5 fish to the weigh-in and I think they where bigger than mine.
Now don’t get all riled up and think that’s too dangerous , because we checked they boys boating skills out and all the anglers where keeping their eyes on them at one time or another.
I can almost promise you that we all started out the same way and I, am sure that this will not be the last time we see this team.
Thanks to our great host Temiskaming Shores for supporting us and we will be back next year possibly with a Bass and a Walleye Tournament.
Thanks to our weigh master Steve McLean who fought the wind every in to give our anglers a true weight.
Also thanks to Margaret Kelly who helped us keep track of every ones weight, and of course my photo master behind the camera Carol LaFontaine.
See ya all at the Classic Set 27th & 28th.
