Stedke and Kohlrieser Win First Lake Erie Event of the Millenium

Cassidy and Moore Set Another Record
 

Saturday, April 1, 2000

Catawba Island State Park

Jim Stedke and Kevin Kohlrieser of Wapakoneta , Ohio - took top honors in the first event of the 2000 USFA/Boat OHIO Lake Erie Team Walleye Tournament Trail. Their five-fish limit weighing 47.86 lbs. bested the 33-team field during the warm, calm day.

"There’s a typical situation of mostly post-spawn females exiting the reef areas to the north and east," Stedke explained. "The most productive lures where Reef Runners, Ripsticks, Deep Husky Jerks and Deep Rouges. The fish were spread out between 6’ and 20’ down over 24’-28’ of water. A Fried Chicken Reef Runner back 30’from the board was one set up that fired regularly."

Included in their limit was a 12.3 lbs. spawned-out female which helped them earn the first place check for $900.00, the Boat OHIO bonus of $500.00 and the Option 20 pool cash of $220.00 for a total of $1,620.00

The team of Chad Johnson and Kris Carlson of Avon, Ohio earned second place and $620.00 plus the Boat OHIO bonus of $200.00. Their five-fish limit tipped the scales at 46.16 lbs. They too were trolling.

In third place Ronald and Mike Newmister of Genoa, Ohio trolled their way to a five-fish limit weighing 39.70 lbs. They received checks for $520.00 and $100.00

The father/son team of Bill and Jeff Becker of Groveport, Ohio took fourth place honors with five fish weighing 37.60 lbs earning them a check for $350.00 and merchandise prizes.

Rounding out the top five is the team of Bob Adler and Jim McGowin of Niles, Ohio who weighed in five fish for 36.41 lbs and a check for $150 and a pair of H3O Sunglass kits.

Big Walleye honors went to Hal Cassidy and Ray Moore of Bowling Green, Ohio with a 13.24 lbs. beauty that hit a Storm Thunderstick. This fish is the largest walleye ever caught in a USFA competition and possibly the largest caught in a US walleye tournament. The latter is pending comfirmation. They received $290.00.

This is the second record set by this team, who just a year earlier set the all time heaviest five-fish tournament limit of 51.50 lbs.

An additional $1000.00 worth of merchandise prizes were awarded through tenth place and a drawing was held for a Panther Electro-Steer
